Start of the school year, end of the summer weather - time for changing leaves and apples and my favorite season! Let us know what you're reading right now - any and all genres welcome in this topic!

Week 1: The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

I'm a little over 200 pages in, and I am really enjoying it. There is enough humor in it that the grimdark elements aren't oppressive... for now.

Week 2: Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall

This is a buddy read with 2 family members. Glad to find a book all 3 of us are interested in trying.

Week 3: The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson

I am really looking forward to this! It sounds like a 5-star read, so I'm glad to see all the praise it is getting.

Week 4: Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier

This is my Q3 challenge!

Finished Convergence last night. not what I was really looking for, but I think it was what I needed. Interesting story that was easy to read with likable characters.

Started the second book Dragonslayer this morning.

I hadn't planned on reading it this early, but I ended up starting The Drawing of the Three because I have it on paper and my e-reader needed charging!

Loved The Raven Scholar

Am also reading (most with other groups)

The Book That Broke the World
Shroud
Automatic Noodle
Katabasis
The Drawing of the Three

and I am two books behind in a buddy read of The Black Company series, so I am hoping to binge read
Book 6 Bleak Seasons
Book 7 She is the Darkness
Book 8 Water Sleeps
. . . all after The Drawing of the Three.

And I want to read Just For One Night (Alice Worth, #1.5) and In the Heart of the Fire (Alice Worth, #2), before I forget book 1, reads I abandoned in June because no time--plus the rest for the series--maybe I will have time in 2056

AND really looking forward to Lucky Day and Double Feature, but TMBTLT, I'm sure

Shroud is one of our October BotM choices—you’ll have a head start on that one!

I had started The Strange Nation of Rafael Mendes by Moacyr Scliar at the end of August, so I’m finishing that before tackling New York 2140 for our September SF BotM and Farilane by Michael J. Sullivan for a different Goodreads group.
