2-3-4 Challenge discussion

It's time to start nominating your choice of a fantasy/UF series that you'd like considered for 2019 to replace Throne Of Glass, which concludes this month. Our other two series will continue into next year. We will begin the series with the most votes in January.

There are only a few rules:

1. You're limited to nominating a maximum of three series
2. Each nominated series must have at least three books (more than five are preferable)
3. The books in the series must be available for purchase.
4. Your nomination must include the series name and author (check on Goodreads for the proper series name).

Nominations will be open until November 20. At that time, we will set up a poll for everyone to vote for their choice. The top three will move to the final round.

Let the nominations begin!

The Mortal Instruments/Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

Fever series by Karen Marie Moning

Fever series by..."

My sister-in-law has begged me to read Mortal Instruments for years.

I’ll nominate one!

Psy-Changeling by Nalini Singh

It has 19 primary books.

My nominees:

Georgina Kincaid by Richelle Mead (6 books)

Riley Jensen by Keri Arthur (9 books)

Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine (15 books)

Is this fantasy enough? Probably is more science fiction:
James Dashner - The Maze Runner (5 books)
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1104...

This one has been on my TBR for a long time:
Lian Hearn - Tales of the Otori (5 books)
https://www.goodreads.com/series/4995...

Have to think if I have a third series to nominate.

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb, or any of her trilogies.

The Red Rising Trilogy by Pierce Brown.

demon cycle peter v brett (5 books + 3 novellas)
the dresden files jim butcher (15 books)
green rider kirsten britain (6 books)

Maze is considered Sci-Fi & dystopian, which I think qualifies.

With Robin Hobb. I highly recommend reading all the elderling books, and preferably in their publication order. All her series is tied to each other some how - with characters showing up or them talking about situations happening in the other settings.

I want to nominate:

Abhorsen by Garth Nix (5 books + some novellas) Sabriel
Krewe of Hunters by Heather Graham (26 books + I think 5 novellas) Phantom Evil
Chronicles of the Cheysuli by Jennifer Roberson (8 books) Shapechangers

I've read book 1 and have been itching to get back to it.

Krewe of Hunters...another series I've been wanting to start.

I like the idea of doing a trilogy.

I have so many of the ones nominated on my TBR shelf I was debating on just waiting for the voting rather than nominating more. Of course I'm nominating more though....LOL.

Chronicles of Elantra Series by Michelle Sagara 13 books with one novella and a 14th book coming out in early 2019

The Others Series by Anne Bishop 8 Books with Book 9 coming out in March of 2019

The Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop 9 Books

I see a couple of nominated series that I've been wanting to read for a while. This is going to be tough.

I'll throw in a few more series that I'm interested in reading:

Graveyard Queen series by Amanda Stevens (6 books + 1 novella)

Elemental Assassins series by Jennifer Estep (17 books)

Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs (10 books)

I like your nomination

Wow! This is going to tough! So many awesome choices.

Goodness gracious! What an array of nominations.

I think I'd rather begin with a trilogy or 6 books rather than commit to over twenty in a series. This is just my humble opinion....

Same here, Christina ;)

Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch (book #7 comes out in a few days)

Mercy Thompson - Patricia Briggs

Red Rising - Pierce Brown

Fever Series - Karen Marie Moning

Temeraire series by Naomi Novik (9 books)

The Others series by Anne Bishop (5 books)

Soulwood series by Faith Hunter (3 books, 4th comes out in 2019)

So many great choices. I'll love to carry on with Mercy Thompson if it gets picked as I stalled at book 4.

Robin, I would also combine the Mercy Thompson series with Alpha & Omega. Yum!

I stalled at #5 and would love to resume.

This is such a great list!

Anymore nominations?

Katharine Kerr - Deverry series (15 books)
https://www.goodreads.com/series/4951...

For the other two fantasy series that are high on my TBR the books are too thick for me to commit to one book a month (Outlander and Wheel of Time).

Outlander and Wheel of Time could be every other month.

I'd like to nominate:

The Agent of Hel Series by Jacqueline Carey (3 Book Series)

The Parasol Protectorate Series by Gail Carriger (5 Book Series)

The Ministry of Curiosities Series by C.J. Archer (10 Book Series)

I read Soulless, the first book in Parasol Protectorate, and loved it but never went back to the series.

Dark Currents is the first book in Agents of Hel.
