The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
The Name of the Wind is on my TBR! I'd love to hear if anyone else plans in reading it :)
I'm planning on reading it. I want to finally get to this series.
I'm reading it! It's just staring at me from my bookshelf... it will be the first thing I pick up when the readathon begins! :)
I plan on reading it just got the audio book yesterday. So I can read it at work.
I'm always down for discussion! I'm currently 150 pages or so in :)
I've been reading all morning and did some sprints with Sarah Jane and some others on the Tome Topple twitter! And I'm honestly loving it so far
Just realised there is already a thread for this book
Just realised there was a thread for this book. Is anyone planning to read this for the upcoming readathon?
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! I'm on book 2 (A Wise Man's Fear) and will try and make a dent in it during the read-a-thon. In between Mass Effect Andromeda binges of course.
I started this one already, so I'm going to continue it for this round.
I'm definitely going to be reading this for the readathon! Im so excited to begin!
Is anyone else just itching to dive into this monster of a book? I can't wait for April 7
Im hoping to get to this one. I started reading it last year and got side tracked....so i have it on my TBR for this round. Anyone else find the difference between adult fantasy and ya fantasy refreshing?

Honestly, I really like when the lines between adult and YA fantasy are blurred. I feel like Crooked Kingdom did that really well. It wasn't so adult as to be inappropriate for teens, but it was definitely more complex and involved than most ya fantasy. So I guess I like when an author can keep me on my toes and surprise me while refraining from to much gore, sex, etc. for unnecessary shock factor.

I'm with you. I like both a healthy mix of YA and Adult Fantasy.
I am jumping on this one hard. I don't even really know what its about, but it falls right into my happy place. I look forward to discovering it with you all.
I'm hoping to read this one during the readathon as well. I'll probably pick up The Invasion of the Tearling first though, just because I'm really curious about what happens to that series, but yes, this book!!! I've heard so many good things about it!
I'm planning on starting this book as soon as the readathon starts where I live!
I'm going to start reading this one (well, listening on audiobook) as soon as I'm done with Darker Shade of Magic - got it all queued up on my phone!
I'm partially intrigued by this Tome and partially intimidated. Nevertheless, I hope to start this one tomorrow. I have about 100 pages left of A Gathering of Shadows so I want to finish that one before I dive into this world. Cant wait to discuss.
Is it weird that the name of the book is said on page 4? I'm just really used to a name drop being closer to the end.
Just started this today! Finally. Have had it on my shelf for years and tried starting it once 6 months ago but only got 10pages in. On page 54 already thanks to the reading sprints on twitter :)
I'm so glad I didn't know anything about this book going into it! Loving it so far

I really like the magic system in this book. I have always compared magic to science, so even though I have a pet peeve about people getting fantasy and science fiction mixed up, I like it when they compare magic and science.
On page 587 loving it so far, great pacing as well.

On page 300. "Don't put a spoon in your eye over it" is my new favorite saying.
The Name of the Wind is probably my favorite book EVER. It's just perfect. Pat's writing is so good and the story has so many layers you can read it over and over and just get something new out of it. It's how fantasy should be, you know, right next to Martin and Hobb. I totally blame it for my high standards concerning fantasy lolI hope you like it :D
Just finished it! Can't believe I've been holding on to it for years without picking it up to read. Well, I finally did and finished my first tome in the readathon.
Finished yesterday. it was certainly well written and I thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed it. I just wasn't surprised at any of the "twists" Rothfuss tried to throw at us. I'll still read the second one.
I'm on chapter Sixty-five. I'm really enjoying it and I love Rothfuss' writing style. I like how some of the chapters are short. It makes it quicker to get through.
I am on Chapter 22, and listening to it on audiobook. This book seemed to take forever to get going, but now that I'm reading I'm entranced by the story.
I borrowed this from the library yesterday for this challenge. Can't wait to read it!
Oh, omg! I don't yet what books read, but this one could be in my TBR. Please, help me in this!
Been putting off reading this book for so long. This book is my #1 priority this readathon!
Hi all! I just put this book on hold at my library. I won't be able to start it until August 10 or 11, but I am definitely hoping to read it during this round of Tome Topple! :-)
I bought this awhile ago and haven't read it, so this will be my first read for Tome Topple!
Thinking of reading this first out of what I have planned to read. Anyone looking for a buddy reader?

Tell me when and how to start at the same time :)"
Alright! I'm probably going to start tomorrow, I'll let you know when. Though I do have to ask: what's your time zone?

Mine is EST, which makes you six hours ahead of me. Which means that I should start reading in the morning/afternoon.

Umm, nope. I have neither. Do you have the Amino app (or one of them)? If not, I can just make a twitter account pretty quickly.
I have started this on page 20 so far. i would also love to join a buddy read if anyone is willing?

Sure. On books my ID is Darkling. Yours?
Finished my first book(The Goldfinch) today. So this will be my next read. Hopefully I can finish this one in one week as well. It is less pages so here we go!
