Hi everyone, so it's not OCTOBER, can you believe it? We're nearing the end of the year and we're also approaching November which will be a Fantasy month. Feel free to nominate some of the fantasy books you think would be great to read with the group. They can be part of a series/standalone but please make sure it's the first in a series (not a random one) and that it IS a fantasy book, NOT a sci-fi book.

One of the books I have recently loved in the Fantasy Genre is Mage's Blood (Moontide Quartet, #1) by David Hair which I gave 5*s to so I'll nominate that, but I'm excited to hear what all of you suggest.

You have until the 15th (approx.) of October to nominate and second as many books as you can think of! After the 15th I will make the poll to vote so get going :)


James (ObservantRaven) | 5 comments I would highly recommend Twelve Kings in Sharakhai by Bradley Beaulieu. I recently finished reading it and it was amazing :)

JayBee | 4 comments My vote is for Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan. I've heard nothing but good things about this series.

Vote for Theft of Swords (The Riyria Revelations, #1-2) by Michael J. Sullivan !

Christina Pilkington | 27 comments I'll second Twelve Kings in Sharakhai. I've heard nothing but amazing things about that book, too! It's on my wish list, and my birthday is in 9 days so I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it :)

Also, if I can nominate two more? One is Last Song Before Night. This just came out the end of September and has incredible reviews. (Pretty sure this will be a birthday book, too!)

And I've heard rave reviews about The Traitor Baru Cormorant. I'd love to read that, too!
