Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments Hopefully the challenge asks for only twelve titles!

Well done! I love teaching people skills. I'm aiming for 12, anything else is a bonus. That said, I'm too competitive for my own good so...


message 4: by Javier (new)

Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments Done with the first old group read! The Fifth Season. I'll be starting Blood Song as soon as I finish The Girl on the Train.


Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1494 comments Ha... what a beautiful list. Perhaps, I will accomplish the 12 accidentally.

Helen | 3616 comments Mod
I'll be doing Fifth Season in summer.


message 7: by Javier (new)

Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments Thats the good thing of not having read lot of the old books. I have much more to choose from!!

There are a lot of great reads on the "to read" list. Good luck and have fun.

Helen | 3616 comments Mod
There have been some brilliant books read in the group.


message 10: by Javier (new)

Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments I've just picked up Raven's shadow #1 (blood song). Am about to finish it, so... If any of you guys have some interesting options for me to give a try, I'll appreciate it!

Helen | 3616 comments Mod
This month's book is also an old book, plus its excellent.


message 12: by Javier (last edited Feb 20, 2017 02:42PM) (new)

Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments Thanks Helen, couldn't actually finish Blood song until today! I think I'm actually going to start march's group read which is also hapen to be an old fbc read.
Although I will keep an eye on the curse of the mistwraith!
Any other suggestion is highly appreciated!

3, 34, 89 :)


message 14: by Javier (last edited Mar 23, 2017 08:19PM) (new)

Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments Finished with the The Black Prism which, as every one should know, is also the march group read. Along with that, I recently started The Rook as part of the to be read challenge (a little bit late I know). But as it happens, it is another book from the huge, old fbc reads. So again I'm going to have to put you down with your recs Helen, sory! :)

Helen | 3616 comments Mod
Oh a double, nice!


message 16: by Javier (new)

Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments And finally I'm done with the rook. So I hit another one of this huge huge list. So I'm going to take next one of Helen's recommendations.
Probably #3, The Crown Conspiracy. Although it can change by the end of the week!
Thanks Helen!

Royce and Hadrian are my favorite "duo" fantasy characters.

They are so good, funny, brave. I could go on.


message 21: by Javier (new)

Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments Finished The Crown Conspiracy. I really liked this book. I liked it better than my only previous M. J. Sullivan book Age of Myth. I totally agree on the characters Hadrian and Royce. their really nice!
So As far as I know, I'm done with 5 books. Not as good as Tnkw01!!! But its good enough for me.
I think I'm gonna stick with riyria revelations and continue on with Avempartha which happens to also be in my old fbc list of unread books!!


message 22: by Javier (new)

Javier (salvatemarty) | 115 comments Done with revelations #2. Not as good as the first one. I found it a little bit of the same... Hadrian and royce still make me laugh a lot!
