The group voted to read the YA Fantasy nominee A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers, #1) in March. The winner for this genre was The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, #2). Have you read any of the other nominees for this award? Which have you read and what did you think? Which was your favorite?

Do you plan to read any of them in the future? How about setting up a buddy read of one that you are interested in this month? Use this thread to discuss and find a buddy!

Schedule buddy reads here, then set up a separate thread to discuss.

Pragya (pragyaagr13) | 4 comments I have read Serpent & Dove, Sorcery of Thorns, The gilded Wolves, The Toll, Finale and The Wicked King. I have enjoyed reading all the books. It's so hard to pick a favourite.
I am interested in reading Aurora Rising.

I haven't read any of these! I plan to read Rebel as I really enjoyed the Legend trilogy. I'm also interested in the Arc of a Scythe series, but I haven't started it yet.

I haven't read Legend trilogy. Scythe is a really good series.

I've heard good things about Scythe and own the first two books. I just haven't had a chance to read the yet and I don't want to buy a third book until I know I'll enjoy the series.

The Legend trilogy was really good and wrapped up well enough to not need this new book, but I'll be happy to revisit some of the characters.

Hi, Tatiana. There isn't really a due date for the book. The group will be reading and discussing it in March. People often read at different times, but then discuss in the thread. The discussion thread will open March 1st or maybe February 29th.

Savanes | 2107 comments I've read The Toll (Arc of a Scythe, #3) by Neal Shusterman which was great.

I'm interested in so many of them it's not even funny!!!
Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte , Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson , Serpent & Dove (Serpent & Dove, #1) by Shelby Mahurin , The Gilded Wolves (The Gilded Wolves, #1) by Roshani Chokshi & King of Scars (Nikolai Duology, #1) by Leigh Bardugo .

And i highly recommend The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, #2) by Holly Black and the whole series. My favorite books from last year!!!
