Fantasy Book Club discussion

Hello members,

Place your book suggestions here. Do read through the rules first, please.

1. All nominations must be shelved on GR as fantasy primarily.

2. All nominations must be linked to their book page, or they'll be ignored.

3. All nominations must be seconded.

4. Check our group bookshelf as we won't be including books we've read.

5. No arguing!

You have a week to nominate, then I'll set up the poll, which should leave plenty of time for book-buying.

Rules subject to mod whims ;)

Helen, for the mods.

Thanks Helen.
I'm going to nominate God Stalk, again.
It's not a long book, but has been a favorite for a long time.
:)

I would like to nominate Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy 2014, if anthologies are accepted. Thank you.

I'll nominate Alan Garner's Red Shift
An influential author, and a difficult literary fantasy that's still marketed as a children's book. Neil Gaiman is a big fan.

The Builders by Daniel Polansky.

I'll second The Builders and
I'll nominate Traitor's Blade by Sebastien de Castell.

I'll second God Stalk, and nominate The Gopher and the Erstwhile Wizard.

JL, sorry but no self-nomination.

I would like to nominate The thousand names for fantasy and Pandora's star for sci fi.

We don't do sci-fi Sumant.

Great rec! I have no problem seconding this.

I'd recommend Mage's Blood by David Hair, 1st book in a relatively unknown series. Stars slow but draws you in and has a cool concept driving the plot.

Bonus: The 4 book series is now completed, so if you get into it there's no painstaking wait. :P

Second The Fifth Season

I'll be setting the poll up very soon, if anyone wants to add an extra second do so quickly!

Okay, I'm closing this to set up the poll. Don't forget to go and vote :)
