Dragons & Jetpacks discussion

The winners for next month are A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula LeGuin (nice homage to a very respected author) and Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan.

Also our next Mod Special will be finishing off the Shades of Magic trilogy and reading A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab.

I picked up a copy of Altered Carbon this weekend :) I'm also planning to join on A Wizard of Earthsea, though need to pick it up still.

Alas I cannot join on the Shades of Magic book at the moment as I haven't started that series yet.

May actually contribute on all three for a change

I'll be reading the mod special again. I just read Altered Carbon in January and that's just too soon for a re-read

I'll only be reading Altered Carbon, I couldn't get past the second book in Shades of Magic nor have I ever been able to make it very far into a LeGuin novel.

Shiny - looking forward to all three!

Will be a kick up the arse to finally read the V E Schwab books sat on my kindle...

I've read Wizard of Earthsea, but I'll see about getting the other two.

Excellent, I'll try to join in with A Wizard of Earthsea.

Oh good, A Conjuring of Light has been sitting on my shelf since the week it came out and remains unread, so this is a good push to get that read. I quite fancy the Earthsea book too, but not sure I'll re-read Altered Carbon, even though it was a very good book.

I'll join for A Wizard of Earthsea. Finally an excuse to pick up my very heavy 4in1 paperback edition :D

I may pick up altered carbon... but the radio here has a Very annoying commercial for the series, which had kinda put me off it 🙈 Also, I’m getting married in 3 weeks so I don’t know how much reading time I’ll have... I’ll keep an eye on the discussion thread tho.

I just started A Conjuring of Light this weekend and I'm loving it so far. Fans of the first two books will not be disappointed!

I'll be reading along with A Wizard of Earthsea. Just read Altered Carbon last month so I'll join in that discussion too.

Think I'll be reading all three but maybe not within March! I own them all.

I will try and read A wizard of Earthsea and Altered Carbon. I’ve read the Earthsea before but a long time ago and I remember it with nostalgia. I wonder if it will hold up to my memory of it! Altered Carbon I bought recently so I’m good to go..

Yes! My hardcover of A Conjuring of Light has been sitting far too long. Now I'll get to it. Mods, good choice to pick a book to finish out the series. :)

Hoping to get to both.
I know I can get Altered Carbon from the library, but A Wizard of Earthsea has a long wait list so I'm not totally sure I'll get to it.

Wow, congrats!

I've read Earthsea and didn't care much for it. I might try the other two. I've been on the fence about Schwab forever. Oh wait, this is book 3.

Trying to get Wizard of Earthsea and Altered Carbon but won't be joining on Conjuring of Light because i haven't read the first two yet. Obsessive - can't read out of order syndrome going here. ;-)

that's not obsessive, that's just doing it right.

I haven't read Wizard of Earthsea in a while, so I'll definitely be re-reading that!

I am so far behind with my group reads that it's getting silly. I hope I can catch up after I've moved house.

lol

Trying to save money, but A Conjuring of Light is available through my audiobook subscription, so I will definitely join in for that discussion. My school's library does not have any LeGuin books...

In a few weeks, when I'm a bit less busy, I'm gonna sit down and work out which of our BotM over the past 5 (!) years I haven't read, and order as many as possible from the library :D

That's a great idea Rinn - i should do that too cause I just want to catch up with everyone.

I have some series to catch up on too. :) Good idea.

Is Conjuring of Light mod read for March only or March and April?

Mod reads are usually for 2 months so no rush.

I put the wrong date on the homepage for that book, I have updated it now so it's good.
