Good luck. I'm really slow at these. I've been doing an around the world in 80 books one and I'm almost half way after four years.

Some of these are difficult to categorize.
For example....I question Changespell as a paranormal romance, but others have. It will fit somewhere I'm sure and I planned to read it sometime regardless.

You are so organised!

Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1494 comments Perhaps of note, I started The Curse of the Mistwraith years ago...yes years. It is my particular challenge must, this year.
I am enjoying the story so far, but life difficulties have interrupted. I was warned that this is a difficult series....that is the kind I like. It will not beat me, this year.

; )

I've read it, it's brilliant but I'm waiting for the end now.

Haha......it's all smoke and mirrors...

;D

Oh good.....
Lol


If it takes me longer, I can just say....I'm waiting for the end to be finished!


Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1494 comments White as Snow, could also be mythic fiction. If I find a better selection for fairy tale fantasy, I may switch it.
I hadn't realized it was a story of Snow White interwoven with the mythological story of Demeter and her daughter.
I grew up reading lots of mythology...this should be interesting.

Sounds good.


Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1494 comments Sigh ...my sword and sorcery choice may be last.
I really need to finish my re-read the rest of the series first.


Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1494 comments Also......so many books don't seem to be categorized correctly.
Really...really off in my opinion.

Well done. Are you going to read Dragonbone then?


Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1494 comments Yes....but where can I slip it in?
hmmmmm.......

Well if no one reads it, you could have it as Dragon! Hahahaha

I'm not nagging, you take as long as you like. I'd rather wait and have a finished article that you're proud of. Look I've learnt patience.

Margret, you are in for a major literary banquet -- WoLS is simply the deepest, best written fantasy series EVER!


Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1494 comments I'm going to need a poke on this.
Very disappointed in myself.
