You guys are killing me.
You keep adding buddy reads for all of the things I want to read.
But there are only so many hours in a day. UGGG.
**signs up for more buddy reads anyway**

You're welcome!

I know, Sarah. I've missed 3 or 4 in the last two months just because I don't have time to do them all!! Take heart we'll probably do most of them again at some point anyway haha.

At which point, more cool books will have come out... it's a vicious cycle...

I'm up for the Farseer trilogy too. I've had the first book waiting for me to get to it for over a year.

These series are in my Pipeline:
- Lightbringer by Brent Weeks
- Lady Trent by Marie Brennan

The Red Rising trilogy was one of my favorites this year. Maybe you should read this one soon because volume 4 will be released in January. ;)

Pendragon, theres a fourth volume of the Red Rising trilogy?

Jess wrote: "Pendragon, theres a fourth volume of the Red Rising trilogy?"

Yes. It's more like a second trilogy set 15 years in the future. Books 5 and 6 to follow.

Here it is:

I'll hopefully be reading more Abarat by Clive Barker in 2018, which I recommend to everyone.
More from Old Man's War too.
Don't know about anything else, but if I have enough time there'll be more from The Dark Tower and I may be starting a new series with Son Of Heaven.

I need to read the second Abarat book. Think I'll set up an incomplete series challenge soon and start working on some of them I've started and not continued. But in aid of the team reading challenge, I'd best start a load of new series in Dec first... :)
