Things like Gentleman Bastards and Gods of Powder I put into up to date. You're waiting on the author.

Your series total is pretty low but you've opted for some huge book counts between Malazan, Discworld and Dresdan.

Wanted somewhere to keep track of the series I am reading and so included non fantasy as well. My incomplete fantasy list is smaller than I thought, especially compared to some of the lists I have seen. At one time my plan was to not start a new series until I had finished one, but I have decided that is just not feasible.

That's why we started this challenge. No it simply isn't possible. That's why I have the up to date as well.

Great list Kieron. Good luck.

June
1 fantasy series progressed Memories of Ice
2 new fantasy series started Malice and Ship of Magic
1 non fantasy series started The Hunter

Great progress Kieron did you enjoy Malice then??

Yes I gave it 5 stars Ahdam. It was like an old school fantasy in a way, but done very well nonetheless.

Looks like a great month Kieron. Feels good to have another Malazan book read I'm sure.

Great job Kieron. Am really excited to get to Malice. Hope I can manage it in the near future.

Thanks Angela. Those Malazan books do take up a large chunk of time.

A Malazan book is a trilogy of something else. It's also three times the enjoyment making it worth it.

Great progress.

July.

2 New Fantasy series started Traitor's Blade and The Fifth Season
1 Fantasy series completed Sharp Ends
1 Fantasy series progressed Grave Peril

Great job! Imo, those are two great series to start. :)

Looking good Kieron! I hope you enjoyed Grave Peril.

August

Quiet month for me in August only 2 books read. 1 non fantasy and 1 new fantasy series started.

.

I hadn't realized that David Benioff was an author. What you think of his book?

Me neither. It was a book recommended by Samir in another thread which I can't find called hidden gems. I recognized Benioff's name from Game of thrones, so decided to check it out. It's a good, fast paced story about 2 boys forced on a adventure in Poland during the war. I enjoyed it.

Good job! How did you like Murder on the Orient Express? It was the first Agatha Christie I read and I thought it was really good.

Well done Kieron. I’m looking to start Liveship Traders this month. I loved Goosebumps in my younger years. How are they holding up?

Really enjoyed it Tammie. It's my second Agatha Christie, the other one was And Then There Were None which was also very good.

The Goosebumps books are ok, probably not aged that well to be fair. I'm sure will you will enjoy Liveship Traders it's typical Hobb putting her characters through the emotional ringer.

Hobb puts me through the emotional ringer too. Always need a break between her books.
