Fantasy Book Club discussion

Please place nominations for our March book here.

Rules:
1. Use 'add book/author' link to post your nomination. Otherwise it will not be considered.
2. All nominations require a second.
3. Authors cannot nominate their own books.
4. Check our group book shelf to see what we've already read.
5. Books must be available in a variety of formats.

I'd like nominate The Sleeping Dragon by Joel Rosenberg

I would like to nominate by Michael J. Sullivan.

I nominate The Dragon Keeper by Robin Hobb. :)

SorryTheft of Swords. there we go.

I'll nominate Phantastes by George MacDonald (1858), considered by many to be the first book of the fantasy genre.

I nominate Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood and respectfully ask to remove Theft of Swords from contention as the two books that make it up have already been read by this group. For those who DO want to particpate in a group read of Theft of Swords it is already the selection of the sister group Fantasy Book Club Series so come over there to join in the discussion.

I'll second Phantastes by George MacDonald.

I second The Dragon Keeper

You need to check the bookshelf. We've already read this. When it was published as the Crown Conspiracy. Besides we are reading it in our sister group. http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/3...

Thank you Michael.

I nominate Taliesin by Stephen Lawhead. I'm in the mood for something Arthurian!

I'll second Taliesin

I nominate http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12... by Shaun Allan.

I'd like to nominate Acacia: The War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham. :)

I'll nominate The Desert of Souls by Howard Andrew Jones.

Sorry.. This is scifi, not fantasy.

I'll second Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.

I'll second Oryx and Crake!

I'd like to nominate The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells. She writes wonderfully rich fantasy worlds.

I'll second The Sleeping Dragon.

Man, too many fantasy and science fiction groups have already read Oryx and Crake, hopeful it will not be picked.

I'll second Cloud Roads -- it's been on my TBR pile for longer than it should have been.

I'll second The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells

I'll nominate The Dragon's Path.

I second Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

I second Sin by Shaun Allen

I'll second Dragon Keeper. I read Hobb's other books and loved them.

Nominating The Desert Spear, by Peter V. Brett.



The Warded Man was read by this group last spring, and was well received. Let's follow it up! It's been in paperback format for a while now, and has great reviews!

MagykMagyk is my nomination

I will second Taliesin

I second The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells!

OK, I removed it. My bad; clicked link in my inbox and thought I was at SF group. Taliesin and other books should have clued me in.

I'll nominate Resenting the Hero (it does start a series but can be read standalone).

I would like to nominate The City of Dreaming Books. Walter Moers has such a fresh sense of twisted humor to his writing that I have yet to find in any other author and this is my favorite work of his by far.

I'll second City of Dreaming Books -- that's one of the most evocative titles I've ever come across.

Is that the 4th in a series?

Deborah wrote: "Lauren wrote: "Is that the 4th in a series? ..."

Everything I've ever read about it says it's a shared world series, like Discworld or Bas-Lag, not a to-be-read-in-order sequential series.

I'll second this one, winged person on the cover, don't need to know more :)

I would like to nominate Joelle Martin's

A Bridge in the Forest

I would like to nominate Graceling by Kristin Cashore.

I'll second A Shadow in Summer. :)
(We can nominate one book and second another, right?)

This post apocalyptic SF. Pretty good, though.

I'll nominate Dragon Bones by Patricia Briggs. She seems to be too well known lately for her PNR or UF writing of Mercy Thompson (one of the better examples in that genre) but she's actually a much better & has written more straight fantasy. While this is the first book of a duology, it stands alone just fine. I read it years ago & thought it was a stand alone.

Thanks for pointing that out. Oryx and Crake is disqualified then.

I would like to nominate The Skystone by Jack Whyte.

I would like to nominate The Misenchanted Sword by Lawrence Watt-Evans.

I second Graceling

I second The Skystone.

I'll second this. It's been too long since I read his works. I think The Cyborg and the Sorcerers is my favorite by him, but I vaguely recall this one & thought it was quite good.

I second Dragon Bones.
