Fantasy Aficionados discussion

MrsJ. and I thought that we'd continue the theme idea for the summer months. Any ideas?

I'm...drawing a blank.

I would love some easy reading, high action UF.

Maybe a sword and sorcerer or steampunk?

Sword & Sorcery! Great idea! I'm going with that!

Sword and Sorcery sounds great!

Dark

I'll nominate my usual favorite, detective fantasy.

Are we nominating themes only now, not novels?

Right. Themes or ideas. Like--member's choice. Don't know how we'd pick that, but maybe someone has an idea.

I second mystery or a detective story, set in a fantasy world.

I'm curious about the Asian Fantasy.

Many of the books mentioned in the thread " looking for Fantasy with Asian Elements" looked interesting, so I will second Asian themed Fantasy either taking place in Asia,having an Asian author, or inspired by Asian myths with Asian Characters.

I'm not sure how well it would work out, but what do you think of "Lesser known works by famous authors"?

Interesting, to both J suggestions. :)

Okay, good suggestions. Poll created.

Oh crud. I think we should make these suggestions for June and July... because Kate Daniels #6 comes out July 30th, so I know what many people's August read will be ;)

In fact! August Read is Kate Daniels #6! I don't care! WE HAVE TO READ THIS. I NEED THIS! I've been stalking her site for MONTHS. MONTHS, I tell you!


GROUP READ! GROUP READ! GROUP READ! GROUP READ!
GROUP READ! GROUP READ! GROUP READ! GROUP READ!

Had a spazout fangirl moment going on there.

But, seriously... ^.^

The ORDER has been made!!


Kate #6 will be in my grubby little hands on 6/30/13 or there will be hell to pay! AmGRazon promised me that If I ordered early I'll receive my copy ON RELEASE DAY. *insert maniacal grin here*

I know, I know. Me too. Now that I have my kindle, i'm getting caught up on the Kate world novellas. What fun!

I should really give Magic Bites another try. I started a few years ago, but never made it past the first few chapters. My heart and mind were still in another series. I found the Kate Daniels universe so different and hard to get into.

I loved the novellas, too. Especially Magic Gifts and Magic Tests.

Hubby didn't care for it too much, either. He said it was cheesy. But...this is after reading The First Law series...which is super dark.

Well, at the risk of being called a fangirl, I could give ten reasons off the top of my head why Kate is better than all the other female-protag UF out there. But I won't. And I love the magic waves. It reminds me of the old dual-world fantasy.

Can we do a Mod's Choice for Aug? Kate #6?

Quietly ducks head down mumbling not read any Kate, guess will have to remedy that.
