Interesting. I just got The Witchwood Crown!!! SO looking forward to it. 😊Hope everyone is doing great!
Neil Gaiman has some great stand alone novels, though I'm not sure I can fully categorize them all into Fantasy. I highly recommend Neverwhere, if you have never read that one!
I am up to buddy read Tigana or anything from Guy Gavriel Kay sometime around July or August. Been wanting to try reading his work since long.
Forgot to mention Adrian Tchaikovsky's Guns of the Dawn too.
Mod
Dani and Angela were looking at that for August. I may join if I have time.
Sweet! Now I can put it in my to-buy schedule.
Oooh!! I LOVED Children of Time. When are you all considering reading this one? I saw August in the chain, but wasn't sure. Would absolutely love to take part. 😘
Yeah August actually perfect for me since I plan to catch up some of my backlogged series for June and July.
Me too! Perfect. August is just perfect. Ok. I'll get the book. Cool. Been too long since I've shared the reading experience. Nothing like it.

Is this still on? Don't think I saw it in the group schedule. Maybe too early?
Mod
It got lost in the shuffle. When do you want to schedule it for? I think August may have filled in for many so Sept or Oct you might get more takers.

I am fine with either September or October :)
Mod
OK how about Oct 16th?

Angela wrote: "Enjoy Jaci. I've had that one on my TBR for ages (and I own it). Some of us have started reading Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fiction and Illusions today."Thanks Angela, this is my first Gaiman experience and I might be hooked. I will put that one on my list as well!
Mod
I loved Neverwhere, American Gods and Anansi Boys. I didn't enjoy Stardust as much.

That is good to know as I have been eyeing Neverwhere as well. I thought about watching American Gods on television but I'm too busy reading and writing lol.
After The Ocean...I have to finish Shadow of Night, I have been reading that on and off for a while now - promised myself I would finish and then Gaiman got in the way lol.
I've recently bought American gods and haven't had plans to read it just yet and from what I've seen from the show it looks very freaky really need to get around to him to know what all the fuss is about 😂😂😂
Mod
Jaci, I liked Neverwhere slightly more than American Gods. Still both 5 star reads for me.

I was leaning toward that one Angela - thanks!
Mod
That book got me hooked on Neil Gaiman as well. If I don't want to start a new series but I'm in the mood for some fantasy, Gaiman is one of my go-tos.

He has definitely hooked me with this book, so I will definitely be adding others to my list.! He has such a unique, quirky style to his writing.
Anyone want to buddy read Something Wicked This Way Comes? I think October or November would be good, or later even.

No I am good for any time Oct. on (maybe not December as that is always a crazy month lol)
Awesome, thanks, let's hope some others can join too.
Oh, that's definitely a Halloween book!!Read it twice.
Love Bradbury.
Halloween is my favorite holiday so this book will be the perfect read - great suggestion Silvana!
I did not think of that! Yeah I"ll read this in late October.

No problem. I've arranged the order of my to read list until October.
By the way, Scott/mod, it would be great if you could include Something Wicked This Way Comes in the group shelf. Starting date October 25th. Many thanks!
