Fantasy Readathon: #becausedragonsRAT discussion

Share your TBRs! What will you be reading during this first round of #becausedragonsRAT?

A reminder of the reading challenges if you're interested:
1. Read a diverse fantasy book. (could be #ownvoices, could be a POC author, could be a diverse cast of characters, or set in a part of the (real) world you are not familiar with)
2. Read a fantasy book with a steamy romance.
3. Read a fantasy book with purple on the cover. (any amount is sufficient)
4. Read the next fantasy book in a series. (continue a series or start a new one)
5. Read a fantasy books with dragons in it. Because, duh.

Of course, you don't have to do the challenges if you don't want to :)

EDIT: Some people are having a hard time with the diverse fantasy book. Here's an awesome list i found with some recs: http://bookavid.tumblr.com/post/154485028523/ya-books-about-poc-by-poc-ownvoices

So far I've only got The Iron King by Julie Kagawa and Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst on my pile. I'm sure it'll grow though lol!

I was going to *not* be able to read Fantasy book during this first round because the review schedule is throwing up 2 non-fictions this month, but I just got The Forgotten Tale for review which needs to be up in 10 days so YES.

I guess this counts as #4, book 2 in the series :)

My TBR's overdoing it but hopefully I'll get through a good amount seen as it's half term:

Among Others by Jo Walton
A Darker Shade of Magic & A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb
The Dragon Children by Hannah Byrnes
All The Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders

OMGGG both of V.E Schwab's books and Robin Hobb's are also on my TBR!!!

OH. If you're looking for a diverse fantasy that I really really love, try Sorcerer to the Crown! Written by my fellow Malaysian! :)

I want to re-read His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik and if I'm in the mood I'll continue with the next book, which I didn't read yet.
I want to start a new series Nihal From The Land Of The Wind by Licia Troisi and The Wrath and the Dawn by Rene Adieh is my choice for a diverse book. :)

I am going to read:
The Eldest by Christopher Paolini (#5)
Blood Song by Anthony Ryan (#4)
Wild Cards by George RR Martin (#3) (even if it is not a fantasy book but I am currently reading it and there is purple on the cover)
Passenger by Alexandra Bracken (#1)
The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon (#2)

I doubt I will be able to read all of it but I can try :P

My TBR is up now on my blog:
