Fantasy Book Club Series discussion

I am excited to be reading both of the series we are starting in January, and both are first time reads for me--Temeraire and Sevenwaters. I used a gift card to order the last book in the Temeraire series so I now have them all, and I didn't know Severwaters had expanded beyond the initial trilogy, so I order the last 3 books in that series as well. Early Christmas for me, and excited to be joining both discussions!!

I read the first Temeraire with the sister group some years ago. I love a book present Kathi, any time of the year :)

I'm really looking forward to the Killing Moon.

I do believe the library has both series in audio so I am hoping to be able to join in as I try to make sense of my housework :)

Excellent plan. My library has rubbish audio books, well for our genre.

It's spotty at best, mostly dominated by YA books so that gets old after a while

I looked right through fantasy and sci-fi. It's best books are Harry Potter, then it's children's books.

We love a neglected genre. I've been irked several times by the lack of must-reads.. they have Gemmell but only the Troy series, Riyria but only the chronicles, and so on

I enquired about it, as in hmm I'd like another audio could you recommend a fantasy one? What about Darren Shan!!

Isn't that the Cirque du freak guy? Sigh...

Yes! So fantasy, so epic!! I've done Potter, so I'm out of choices now. There are some very young children ones. I joined audible last night :)

I love audible! My favorite narrators are Michael Kramer, Simon Vance, Michael Page, Tim Gerard Reynolds and Khristine Hvam (although she hasn't as many titles under her belt)

Oh great, thanks. I've just discovered A Christmas Carol free!!

I would look at the group home page. I think we are starting with these 2 series, one book from each series each month. That will take us through half the year, since Sevenwaters has 6 books, and Temeraire has more. I don't know what series will take Sevenwaters' place in summer.

After Sevenwaters, we have The Killing Moon, which is just a duology, and Homeland, which is a trilogy

Thanks, Maggie. I will be reading the Drizzt trilogy with the group since I have it in an omnibus edition. Good motivation for me, since I've not read any Salvatore before.

Hello.

I'll be joining in on the Sevenwaters series when we get to book 4 as I've already read the first 3. I do have several of the Temeraire books so I could join in there too :)

Join in on the discussions anyway. It's always nice to hear perspectives.
: )

I'm so glad we will be reading Drizzt later on this year. I read the first two in the trilogy last year, and absolutely adored them. Can't wait to get to the third one.

And so far, I am adoring Temeraire! Really excited about all the series reads this year.
