Fantasy Book Club discussion

It's that time of the month again! Place your book suggestions here, one nomination and one second per person. Do read through the rules first, please. Feel free to nominate books that have failed selection previously.

1. All nominations must be shelved on GR as fantasy primarily.

2. All nominations must be linked to their book page, or they'll be ignored.

3. All nominations must be seconded.

4. Check our group bookshelf as we won't be including books we've read since January 2015. Check here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

5. No self-nominations.

You have a week to nominate, then I'll set up the poll.


Have at it, Helen

A Plague of Giants by Kevin Hearne

I'll nominate The Hidden City by Michelle West -- it's been sitting unread on my Kindle for a while, but looks fun.

The Bone Ships by R.J. Barker

The Dragons of Dorcastle by Jack Campbell

I'll nominate: Ordination

I've been meaning to get to it for some time now.

I'm going to nominate Starless by Jacqueline Carey

I'll second Starless. (Which has also been sitting unread on my Kindle for a while.)

I got it for my birthday back in April, and have been needing to read it! Thanks for the vote

I'll nominate A Natural History of Dragons because dragons. The series is finished, so no endless waiting for the next installment. Also, dragons. DRAGONS!

My nomination this month is Wizard's First Rule

I'll propose something of a slightly different kind... fantasy/sf adventure of the early times of the genre in the form of The Lost Continent: The Story of Atlantis by Hyne... By early in the genre I mean approx. 1900 publication date... It's probably seen as more of an adventure mixed with social analysis wrapped in an atlantean setting, but at that time that was the recipe, not dungeons and dragons ;)

I'll second A Natural History of Dragons, and nominate Rhinegold

I second Wizard's First Rule.

Wow, we might have a lot of nominations this month. I really wish I would have nominated something spooky, being October and all. I just didn't think that through.

I wish I’d charged my laptop so I could get a book linked yesterday. Because I’ve forgotten what book it was now!

I bet it was City of Ghosts.

Lol a spooky one for October. Go on then but I’m on my phone so your link will have to suffice!

Ah, didn't think about that either! Damn....

LOL, for creepier side one can always think of Imajica or Weaveworld or better yet Books of Blood: Volume One or Cabal ;) I'd nominate either if not for my attempt to promote The Lost Continent now ;)

Oh, we are so sneaky.

Lol!

The poll is open :)
