Fantasy Book Club discussion

I have finished the mistborn trilogy in the beginning of the month.

And now I have started both the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks

and Harry Potter by JK Rowling

I'm reading by Veronica Roth. It's really flying by! I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.

I read that a while ago Tad, now I've watched the film I want to read on.

finished working gods mischief a few days ago and I still feel unable to get into a new book :s gimme the next on in the series!

I was sort of indifferent to seeing the film, but now that I'm reading the book, it's definitely going on my to watch list:)

I've just started Cienioryt and I'm enjoying it very much.

Nearly finished Blood Song
Then going to move onto,
Promise of Blood
Among Thieves

Just finished Dreams of Gods & Monsters.
Now debating what to read.

I'm racing through Under the Dome

Finally started Deadhouse Gates.

Just finished Mistborn trilogy. Planning to Read Ship of Magic by Robin hobb.

I finished Elizabeth Bear's Steles of the Sky, which was shatteringly good, and am starting The Hum and the Shiver by Alex Bledsoe.

Was removed from most of my technology today, except for my trusty Kindle, so I finished The Hum and the Shiver and got half way through Wisp of a Thing: A Novel of the Tufa, both by Alex Bledsoe.

And I finished Wisp of a Thing: A Novel of the Tufa(what can I say? I was on a roll) and am going to wrap up my Tennessee faerie visit with Shall We Gather, a Tufa short story also by Alex Bledsoe.

I read all the Mortal Instruments books...I read all the Lunar Chronicles books...I am now workin on Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare.

I'm reading Inkspell. I do like it so far, but it doesn't feel that exciting yet.

Pray for me: I'm picking up Dragons of Autumn Twilight for the first time since high school? college? something like that ...

No fantasy in these days. I'm reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.

I read the first cicle (Autumn, Winter and Spring) and I liked it. But there are so many cicles in the Dragonlance's universe to make you dizzy.

Warning: I developed an aversion to mint after reading that series. Dang villains....

I started White Night today and I'm halfway through Deadhouse Gates.

I'm reading Lyonesse by Jack Vance - shame on me for never having read it before. Five chapters in, I'm completely hooked by the richness of Vance's imagined world, and I'm thinking it will probably become a favourite book. My only complaint is that the map of the Elder Isles in the front is hardly more than a doodle. However, there seem to be several other versions of the map on the net, so I shall track down one I like and print it out. :)

I don't plan to go very deep down the rabbit hole -- Chronicles and Legends (which are the only ones that I read back in the day) and maybe some of the other Weis/Hickman installments, depending on how things go.

I agree. Indeed until today the 'The Chronicles' is the only one that I read.

And then you will want to read the 2nd and 3rd books! LOL Have you seen the movie: Divergent? I have not but looking forward to it. My daughter highly recommended it to me.

I finished Divergent which was great, and then went out and saw the movie, which was not very good. The lead actors were good, but the movie made some choices that diluted the emotional impact of the choices the characters made. If you really want to see it, I'd skip the theater and wait for the video release.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the Divergent movie. Kind of disappointing, but it was ok. I still sort of liked it, but I do hate it when movie adaptations remove important parts.

Finished Dragons of Autumn Twilight and am continuing my trip down Memory Lane with Dragons of Winter Night (Dragonlance: Chronicles #2).

(And for the record: The only true and correct covers are those by Larry Elmore:





)

Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy. I am not ready to kick myself for not reading the series earlier yet, but I came very close to that point.

While the series is grim, it is not THAT depressing.

I cannot call the series extremely exciting so far, but the writing quality is really good.

Put Inkspell on hold half way through, a little burnt out but I'll go back to it; Now I'm reading Twilight (Warriors: The New Prophecy, #5)
