Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

This looked like fun, so I decided to see how much I can complete. This is going to be backdated to include anything read since January 2017. I want to see if I can complete the whole board this year. Check marks mean they've been completed, anything else is just planning.

Nice work! I like the little check marks. :D

Thanks, Niki!

Good luck! It looks like you can definitely finish before the year is out.

Thanks! Yes, I think I should be able to get it completed. The only one I can't think of something off the top of my head for is the author under 25...will have to do some research on that.

Yeah, I gave up on fantasy for that. By the end, I had 3 or 4 books that weren't fantasy, just so I could finish the challenge.

I'm trying my hardest to stick to fantasy and sci-fi. I just might have to dig for a couple. :D

One more complete!

I think Royce and Hadrian are a common pair for the unlikely friendship category. Love those two.

Awesome progress C.P. You're so close to finishing multiple lines.

Thanks, Angela! I am getting pretty close. :D
