Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

In all the confusion of the team challenge, the holidays going on, Top Three Thursday being organized, talking about best/worst books of 2017, the thread for the top read of just December never got posted. (Sorry!) So here it is! Share your favourite read from Dec 2017 here.

The Twelve, second book in The Passage series. Middle books in trilogies are hard to do right, but this one nailed it.

I only read one book in December and that was game of thrones for the first time and it was just brilliant 😊😁

Oathbringer, still. Will likely be my January book too.

Emperor's Blades!!! So good. :)

The Disappearance Of Winter's Daughter. I love Riyria and Sullivan's writing.

Jurassic Park! I can’t believe it took me so long to finally get to it.

Binti by Nnedi Okorafor. I did a bunch of Tor novellas to end the year and this was the best of the bunch. Made me want to up my science fiction reads in 2018.

Ruin by John Gwynne =]. I have a feeling Wrath will be my top January read, if not my top read of 2018.

NIce! I first read Jurassic Park in elementary school because my parents wouldn't let me watch the movie. I reread it about five years ago, and still thought it was a ton of fun. Easily my favorite Crichton book!

The Bonehunters

I loved the characters development at this installment of Malazan.

I read a lot of great books in December, but my favourite was actually non-fantasy and I haven't been able to put the series down: My Brilliant Friend.

Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection -- finally read this and it was packed with so many great stories... I think Emperor's Soul and Secret History were my favorites...

The Emperor's Blades & The Traitor Baru Cormorant close behind...

The Curse of Chalion

I have found in Bujold everything I have been looking for and even more than I asked, and I will definitely be continuing the series and reading her other novels.

This was one of my favourite buddy reads I've done with the group and I also loved the book.

Sadly, I have missed one, but we are reading the Paladin of Souls this month so please join if you have not read it yet.

I didn't have a 5* book in December.

The book I liked best in December was a non-fantasy book. The Ladies of Ivy Cottage
