Let us know below what you have planned to read in the final month of the year.

A Game of Thrones in a BR
A Gentleman in Moscow
Kings of the Wyld
Dragon Weather

Game of thrones
Lies of Locke Lamora
Wrath (start early for gardens of the moon)

I might squeeze in 1984 in there as well

A Game of Thrones BR
Son of the Shadows BR
The Lies of Locke Lamora BR
Caliban's War BR
The Young Queens

I have several planned. Hopefully I can get to them all.

The Silmarillion BR
The Lies of Locke Lamora BR
Disappearance Of Winter's Daughter BR
The Emperor's Blades BR
Between Shades of Gray

That might be all I have planned. I will also finish listening to the Chronicles of Narnia. And I might try to reread Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince if I have time.

I read 1984 as 1Q84 and thought, "Well Ahdam, go on with your bad self squeezing in a 900+ page tome." :)

My December reading pile :)



Also, The Last Argument of Kings, but that's on my kindle.
Hopefully making a good dint in my overflowing bookshelf!

I'm delighted to see so many people reading Game of Thrones. Enjoy.

I'll be reading the below as buddy reads:

Night of Knives - I'm quite excited to start my first ICE book.
The Bonehunters

Other possible reads

The Bear and the Nightingale
The Pillars of the Earth
Changes
Trickster's Point

Hope you enjoy hero of ages as much as I did Siobhan but unfortunately December may be another slow one for me due to university deadlines but I should get past them in a couple of weeks 😐😐😐

I loved Empire of Ivory! I hope you do as well. I'm hoping to read book 7 Crucible of Gold soon.

I love seeing you guys lists on here. That way I can add more books I want to read!!!

I have several lined up but I'm afraid if i list them I will jinx it! 👀

I can sympathise with that. As soon as I decide on my monthly TBR and books I was really excited for sometimes my brain decides "oh just because I like being awkward, now you've picked those I don't want to read them now!!"

I know right!!! I thought I was the only one. It drives me crazier 😄

So far I only have confirmed the Malazan reads with Angela:

Night of Knives
The Bonehunters

I might also read:

The Lies of Locke Lamora
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Other than that it will be books on the spur of the moment.

The Curse of Chalion is my only schedule buddy read.

I joined a book club in real life (sadly not fantasy) and I'm supposed to read Underground Airlines by next week. So far I've been putting it off.

The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter BR 5th
When the Heavens Fall BR 10th
Caliban's War BR 24th

Godsgrave

We'll see after that. I haven't completely decided.

Dune BR
Nimona BR
Waistcoats & Weaponry
Sunstone, Vol. 3
Lumberjanes, Vol. 4: Out of Time
Batgirl, Vol. 2: Knightfall Descends

Other that that whatever I'm in the mood for

Well, in December, I'm probably going to have to carry over my two current buddy reads of The Well of Ascension and A Game of Thrones. Then it's on to The Lies of Locke Lamora and another that I'm really looking forward to The Emperor's Blades with Niki & Co. Now being that is Christmas, I've reserved The Bear and the Nightingale from my local library so that should happen. My sidelines books consist of The Last Colony, Zoe's Tale, The Human Division. We'll just see how it goes!

Buddy reads:

- A Game of Thrones
- Empire of Ivory
- Dragons of Autumn Twilight
- The Lies of Locke Lamora
- The tiger and the wolf
- Desert spear

Looks great Saar! I'm reading some of those! I need to add The Tiger and the Wolf to my list! I have had it forever!

Strange Dogs and Persepolis Rising by James SA Corey
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Illustrated Edition by JK Rowling
And maybe NOS4A2 by Joe Hill if I have time.

Strange the Dreamer
The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill
The Ladies of Ivy Cottage

Everything else will be spontaneous because December is a busy month.

I love Strange the Dreamer, Tammie =)

I have the other two books on one of my Amazon wishlists too =)

-BR for books #2 & 3 in Fionvar Tapestry with the Kay Squad
-Probably book #2 in the Passage trilogy
-Probably book #8 in Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Tales
-Maybe Riyria #2

I'm thinking about reading NOS4R2 in December. Since it's got such a strong christmas theme to it it seemed like a good month to read it. I'm just worried about how scary it will be!

From what I've seen everyone that has read it really likes it. I'm looking forward to it!

Yay!! I hope you love it 😊

Hopefully the site won't eat my post a third time. Let's see...

God my 2 Buddy reads:

The Lies of Locke Lamora
Blood and Tempest

And I hope to sneak in at least one or two of these:

Traitor's Blade
A Court of Thorns and Roses
Nine Princes in Amber
Skyborn
Dead Beat
A Dance of Shadows
Mockingbird

I really like the Miriam Black series. I plan on getting utd with it next year.

I'm going to finally read some Fritz Leiber. I've had his Lankhmar stories recommended for the longest time. I'm doing a BR for The Lies of Locke Lamora, and finally I'll be reading some more Sherlock Holmes.

I should have added Caliban's War to my list. Hopefully I'll get to this one. I'm going to be really busy at the end of December.

So far my December BRs are:
The Emperor's Blades
Caliban's War

I had The Wandering Fire down for December too but the Kay Squad decided we couldn't wait so we're reading that one now.

Thanks! I'll hope you will enjoy them :)

You're welcome and the sane to you 😊

My December TBR is:

Finishing off:


Starting:


And hopefully I'll join in on the buddy read of:


Anything else will depend on my reading mood.

Hoping to take part in:

Dragons of Autumn Twilight
Sword-Breaker
The Lies of Locke Lamora
The Emperor's Blades

possibly The Silmarillion and whatever else I can fit in before January!

For the month of December I am currently reading......
The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks.

So far, these are my plans; but you know what they say about best laid plans...

A Game of Thrones
Dragon Champion
Dragons of Autumn Twilight
The Last Colony
The Emperor's Blades
The Desert Spear

They do say to shoot for the stars, but it's gonna be tough to finish all of these, so, we'll see.

You've choosen a lot of big books. I'm also reading most of them or trying to read, anyway.

I have read Heartless and am currently reading Uprooted and audiobooking my way through The Martian. Besides these, I need to read 6 more books in order to reach my goal of 100 by the end of the year, Pray for me!

Good luck 🙏

What's UTD?

Up to date

As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to try to finish up reading the Lunar Chronicles. I'm almost done reading Cress so, after that, I'll be reading Winter next. :)

Saar wrote: "You've choosen a lot of big books. I'm also reading most of them or trying to read, anyway."

Yeah they're big, but I think I'm going to audio book GoT, then actually read the rest. We'll see!

I have an ambitious month ahead, but am light on BRs.

Niki's TBR Tackler Shelf:
Oathbringer <-Finished yesterday :D
Rakkety Tam <-Will finish today
The End of All Things - Scalzi
Heir of Novron - Sullivan
Magic Binds - Andrews
Naamah's Blessing - Carey
The Black Tide - Arthur
High Rhulain - Jacques
Persepolis Rising - Corey [BR]
Lady of Misrule - Pratt
The Demon Spirit - Salvatore
Dime Store Magic - Armstrong
The Emperor's Blades - Staveley [BR]
Mercy Burns - Arthur
Dragon Rule - Knight
Clean Sweep - Andrews

If I get through half of them, I'll be happy. :)

I've already finished two books that fall outside of Fantasy this month, but i'm going to dedicate the month of December to attempting to catch up on the Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series.

The Well of Ascension (I've already started)
The Hero of Ages
The Alloy of Law
Shadows of Self
The Bands of Mourning

Most likely will not finish all of them.

I'm currently reading American Gods. It is interesting, but taking longer than I initially anticipated.

I have no idea how I'm going to write a review when I'm done. It has been an odd experience.

I wonder if I stated that I'm reading Winter from the Lunar Chronicles. Well, if I haven't, I'll reiterate. I'm reading Winter from the Lunar chronicles.

Hopefully, I can relax after so much stress I put into my mind and body. 😥😩
