Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

I checked your list and all I can say is wow and then leave the thread in awe!

Thanks Mayim. :)

Finished Within the Sanctuary of Wings to wrap up The Memoirs of Lady Trent series. Don't think there is another voice like Isabella in fantasy.

Started City of Miracles was trying to hold off to read with Scott but stalled on Soul Music and needed to jump into something else. Sorry Scott.

Bill wrote: "Sorry Scott."

No worries mate. I'm still 3rd on the waitlist so I doubt I'll get it until next month.

Finished City of Miracles to close out the Divine Cities trilogy. Very enjoyable series with a very satisfying ending.

Hay Bill, noticed you're reading The Gathering Storm... how bout that super long prologue just to say

"Welp, reckon there's a storm a comin'"

#spoileralert

Spoiler alert. There's a 100% chance of storm in the Gathering Storm.

😱

Just to be clear, I was teasing. Not serious. I'm seldom serious. Except for when I am.

I thought we were joking back and forth no worries :D

They need a sarcasm font.

Although you usually do a great job conveying sarcasm as is. ;P

We are twinsies in that regard!

Yep. Long ass prologue and there is indeed a storm a brewing according to farmer a and b.

OMG you're so right Margret The Gathering Storm might be the worst prologue ever. It was endless and I remember thinking OH GOD if this is what Sanderson is going to do to this series I might not finish. Luckily from that point on the book and series returned to the first three books level of greatness.

Mod punishments for Jenna would definitely have to include TGS.

I guess this is a bad time to mention that just as I'm getting back on GR, I'm going to the Philippines for a vacation tomorrow.... Please have mercy. I'll be experiencing a gathering storm while I'm there as it's supposed to thunderstorm the entire time. That means I can skip TGS prologue, right?

No punishments for having a personal life.

I hope it clears up for you and you can sun your buns :) have fun!

I'll be going back to work on Monday, we just need to help each other out!

lol I read that out of context and it sounded like you were referring to a bad skin condition.

Lol!

Lost all will power with the Wheel of Time and started book 13 right after book 12. I did a Discworld book and started another but couldn't get WoT out of my head. Will probably continue on with the final book after.

That sounds good will be reading eye of the world in July and hopefully go through the entire series so is it good as you make it sound or does it have its ups and downs like what people say about it

Safe if read the Gathering Storm

(view spoiler)[ ok but holy shit that book- that chapter with Verin? Ruined me. She was one of my favorite Aes Sedai (other than Cadsuane. Glad you're continuing! (hide spoiler)]

Same for me. Can't stand the second one you mentioned. That may change in this one depending on how the whole situation plays out.

Book 10 was extremely painful to get through but I have really enjoyed the rest. There are definitely some storylines and character arcs that are better than the rest but this series is the epitome of epic.

Yeah, but I'm a weirdo. I can't expect you to like her too

Cool I'm going to try and keep my expectations low when I read it but it will be interesting to read a book from another fantasy giant

The last three books of WoT are awesome.

Halfway through the second and would have to agree. The pace has really picked up.

Moved 5 of my audiobook series into the high priority section. Other than Discworld I should be able to knock off the other 4 next month. Trying to plan out my life post WoT. :(

And yet it's still WoT...

Elayne is still annoying as fuck
Nynaeve be a crazy bitch
Perrin still doesn't know why his wife is mad

Haha all true but I love it still.

It's so weird how much I loved the series yet make fun of it all the time! Tug tug...

I don't know how to reply to that. If only Scott were here he knows how to talk to women.

It lends itself to being made fun of.

I meant braid tug!!!!

Omg..... bahahahaha

...... dug that hole real deep I did.. now I'm thinking "hmmm what if Bill didn't even mean it that way and now *I'm* the one who took it there....?"

Lmao. I didn't even think of it. My brain is running on fumes here. I was mocking the whole situation of Rand/Mat/Perrin thinking how much better the others are at talking to women anytime anyone of them encounters a woman for the first bunch of books. Don't know why I'm admitting that since my response would have been prefect for the old tug tug remark.

Oh great I am the perv here....

Sigh.

This is like watching a train wreck and this point... fuck I'm an idiot lol

Hahahahahahaha - need a shovel?

Haha I would have been but I was exhausted at that point.

Lol

Things don't usually.move this fast for me, I've really only met your cat......

Guess it was my birthday yesterday, but Bill got all the presents...

It's ok to be mortified if you can laugh at yourself in the morning right?

A true walk of shame.

If I had a dollar for everytime a woman has said that to me...
