Tons of work isn't helping in reading. It's a hefty read for the first time. I remember picking it up and putting it down after a few chapters but after I read Mistborn I went back to it and it's absolutely epic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kualo Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 @Wander89 A great and epic series. Tad always was one of my favourite authors, because of the world-building and almost grand storytelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a Lifetime Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 On 9/16/2019 at 2:57 PM, Who Sharded? said: Also Starsight and Brian McClellan's Blood of Empire to conclude his trilogy this December. And we got Pierce Brown's Dark Age recently. This is the most stacked 6 months or so of fantasy releases that I can remember. Also False Value by Ben Aaronovitch (Rivers of London book 8) coming out in November, which I just pre-ordered.

Tesh Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I read this incredible book a few weeks ago. It's called Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo(?) Oh my storms it was AMAZING. It got me out of my weird reading slump. I HIGHLY recommend it. I'm also slowly working my way through book five of tWoT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander89 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I know this is a different read but the new Spider-Man from JJ and Henry Abrams is pretty great. The artwork is so flawed yet great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that i have Six of Crows in paperback, and Crooked Kingdom in hardcover. With sprayed edges. But I'm going to start reading the Shadow and Bone trilogy soon. I just have to finish my MB re-read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Finished Storm Front. Would’ve finished much earlier but got a bit sidetracked around the middle so I didn’t get back to it for a couple weeks. Pretty good book that was smart and funny (actually snorted at one point) so I’m definitely going to pick up the rest of the series. Now that October has come back I’m going to do some horror themed reading. Going to start with Doctor Who: Scratchman and after that I’m going to read The Walking Dead comics I have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hood Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Started the Wheel of Time series again. Read the first book. It read it 7 years ago. It was the first novel I had read and was amazed by it. It is good. I'm onto the second one. I have some issues with the depiction of women in the book. They are quite... emotional. And the whole 'MEN' thing. Still, I like it. Maybe I have too much expectations, or maybe it is because times have changed since then. I also started (well, it is the incorrect word), Jane Austen's novel 'Pride and Prejudice'. I read it while waiting for my flight at airport (reached 7 hours earlier ), and went till chapter 36 in my first reading. I have read very few classics (Silas Manor, Brother's Karamazov, Great Expectations), but this one is quickly becoming my favourite. It is quite difficult to believe that Austen made such protagonists 200 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard good things about this one. I'm reading a short story collection by F. Brett Cox called The End of All Our Exploring. The first two stories were kind of weak, but the ones since have been very good. One in particular was very fitting for reading as we move into the Halloween season--not so much outright scary as unsettling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
