SciFi and Fantasy Book Club discussion

Found this on Tor's site. Definitely advertising their own books, but also a bit of fun.

Apparently I'm going to be sacrificed as a pawn in the wars of Gods and mortals...

I got:

Knifed by a Volatile Shadow

Wow. Other people have enemies, but you’ve got enemies enemies. Someone’s sent a shadow to do you a murder most foul, and they got you too. Real good.

I got that one too and it makes no sense (must be in reference to some specific book)

I too got knifed by a shadow.,. Don’t know how the music plays into b/c I picked based on the pictures - no idea what it was I picked.

Considering that I started with wearing a comfy cardigan, that seems off, but it's a quiz :)

Another pawn sacrifice! 😭😄

The mirror...

I got:

"Literally Consumed by the Past

We’ve got this saying: “It’s in the past!” The intended meaning being, of course, that bygones are bygones. The past is behind us! But here’s a more sinister reading: Something dwells in the past. Something mobile and breathing and hungry.

Maybe you just couldn’t move on. Maybe you let yourself get dragged back to places you swore you’d left behind forever. Well, now you’re stuck there forever, because the past has reached into the present and stolen your future.

Gobbled you up."

So... I'm stuck in limbo? That's worth than death honestly 😭

I was "Eliminated for the Good of the Realm."

I can live with that.

I am a pawn sacrificed in the war of the gods

I am knifed by a volatile shadow too! And a recommendation to read Book of Night by the appropriately named Holly Black. Fortunately, I have it on my TBR shelf already. Handy.

I've got Knifed by a Volatile Shadow too😅

I also got Knifed by a Volatile Shadow

I did not start off with a comfy cardigan, though!

Me too. At least I mattered a lot ;) I don't accept the result completely however - the survey question about what I would wear was defaulted to the first option (black leather), and before I could read the rest of the choices, it accepted that answer and moved to the next question. I didn't even click on anything!

Crap, I'm another to be knifed!

I got sacrificed as well

What a cheerful quiz this turned out to be.

Sacrificed as a Pawn in the Wars of Gods and Mortals! Bummer.

I'll trade with you, Charles, because I don't want to be knifed by a shadow!

Well....I have been Literally consumed by the Past.

I'm another person important enough someone sent a volatile shadow to knife me. I got got, but the shadow didn't make it home alive either.

LOL! I guess we all need to stay away from shadows.

Sounds good Michelle, at least being knifed by a shadow would be quick :)

Sacrificial pawn here.

Apparently I'm a pawn and have to read the Mistborn Saga.

Shan't.

Tor aren't the boss of me.

Ha ha. I got knifed by a shadow too....

I chose a comfy cardigan and I *still* got Eliminated for the Good of the Realm.

I actually added my book to my TBR. It looks like it could be good.

Knifed by a Volatile Shadow.

IDK any of those songs btw though I did like one song from Cobra Starship so I picked them.

Knifed by a Volatile Shadow too.

You don't know Pat Benatar? Was she not an option for you ?

I am just busy running from the past....

LOL. I picked Pat Benatar since hers was the only music I knew.

@Jennifer: no... Though after googling, Glee covered one of her songs so maybe I did hear about her

Pat Benatar was the only one I recognized as well.

I’ve also been knifed by a volatile shadow. I’m not happy about this, and now my vengeful spirit needs added to the quiz as a possible dealer of death. Or maybe, since as far as I know there are no books written about my vengeful spirit, it will have to kill the people who don't take the quiz.

Michelle, I did the same – picked Pat Benatar because she was the only artist I recognized. :)

I was sacrificed as a Pawn in the Wars of Gods and
Mortals😔

The book I was recommended, Daughter of Redwinter has a giveaway going on (for US & Canada).

You need more 80's music in your life ! Gosh I feel old.

Me, too!

Most of it just didn’t seem to apply to me. So I guess my death will be pretty boring.

Team Knifed by a Volatile Shadow. I love that we are all jamming to "Shadows of the Night" as our soundtrack.

Dang. Sacrificed as a Pawn in the Wars of Gods and Mortals. I was really hoping for something more triumphant.
