Oathbringer / Brandon Sanderson
Working on it! Pretty sure I’ll have it read by the end of the year.
The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince / Robin Hobb
The only reason for me to not read it was the price. Super expensive for a novella. But I should be able to get a cheap Kindle version now. Will definitely still read it.
Soldier Son Trilogy / Robin Hobb
A trilogy by Hobb with no ties to her Farseer universe. Something totally different. I’ve heard good & bad things but everyone seems to agree on the fact that the main character is horribly whiny and annoying. I am not interested in this trilogy at all and will probably never read it. Even though it’s Hobb and I shortly considered it in the past..
The Forge of Darkness / Steven Erikson
Ha! I can’t even finish my Reread of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. I don’t think I’ll ever get to this one. It will remain unread^^
Stuff by GRRM that is not ASOIAF
There’s only one book I care about.
A couple of Pratchetts
Mostly the newer ones. I stopped reading new Pratchetts after he passed away. I decided to do a Reread chronologically and will get there eventually. Won’t be any new stories published 😦
Rift Runners Series / Jennifer Fallon
The only trilogy by Jennifer Fallon that I didn’t finish. I read the first book to give it a chance, but I feared I wouldn’t like it, because of the different dimensions & playing partly in our world. Not for me. I like her ‘pure’ Fantasy much, much more.
The Fifth Doll / Charlie N. Holmberg
I’ve read almost everything by Holmberg, but this book and her newest publication are still on my list. I’ll get there, but it’s not high priority (anymore), because I didn’t like her Plastic Magician very much.
Erikson. Bleh. I’m working my way through Dust of Dreams and after this read through of the whole series, I’ve changed my mind about the series as a whole. It is a piece of bloated crap and if it weren’t for Esslemont actually writing books with some plot instead of hundreds of pages of whatever Erikson is writing, this series would be forgotten in about 25 years.

Can you tell me why we thought it was the best thing ever after reading it for the first time? 😀 I kinda want to stop now so I still have really good memories when I think back on it (and ignore the later books..).

I blame it on being young and impressionable. We were innocent, naive and trusting.
The thing is, I liked Gardens of the Moon even more the 3rd time I read it, but not ANY of the other books.
I think your plan of stopping is a good one…

I think I’ve read most of everything by Sanderson other than the last few Wheel of Time books he finished for Robert Jordan. I don’t think I can make myself slog through the series to get to that point though

I need to read The Way of Kings by Sanderson. If I don’t like that then he is off my list :O (After a trilogy and 2 graphic novels I feel I can do this haha)
I still have so much discworld and other Pratchett works to read. But I also don’t want to rush it because like you say, there aren’t going to be any new ones 😦

Really makes me sad thinking about it 😦 But on the other hand we are lucky that there’s SO MANY Discworld stories out there 🙂

LOL, Sometimes I wonder whether Winds of Winter will come out first, or George R.R. Martin will die. And then who knows if A Dream of Spring will EVER come out.

Maybe ‘A Dream of Spring’ will remain a dream for us 😀

Oh no, I’m sad to hear that you didn’t like The Plastic Magician because it’s the first novel from Holmberg that I bought. HAHA. I’ll probably keep my expectations lowered just to be safe.
Nonetheless, great post!

My boyfriend is a big fan of Robin Hobb. I still need to give her books a try. Brandon Sanderson is a good one as well.

So many people love Sanderson and Hobb and I’m ashamed to say I’ve not read anything by either. Hope you make time for some of your faves!

Sounds like a fun list! I’m not sure I’ll read any more Holmberg either, because I enjoyed but had issues with Paper Magician, and would kinda prefer to leave it now before I get annoyed at the world even more. I haven’t fully decided yet, though.

Ahahaha – that Winds of Winter meme is everything 😉 I absolutely loved Terry Pratchett’s “Thud” – probably because it deals with darkness, and as a child I was terrified of the dark ( still am occasionally, if I’m honest)

Piebald Prince wrecked me lol. Fair warning.
I tried Soldier’s Son on audio, but put it down because I hated the way it was performed (not to mention I was a little bored). I’ll take another crack at it eventually, but I’m in no hurry.
