Read along? LET’S DO IT AGAIN!

Who wants to follow one incredible fantasy novel with another incredible fantasy novel? I DO! This time, we’re picking up the much lauded The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin. this book has been on my radar since it came out, and it just never made it to the top of my mount TBR. Thankfully Susan over at Dab of Darkness insisted that this be my next read along novel. THANK YOU SUSAN!!!!
Interested in joining? Here’s the schedule and the who’s who:
Chapters 1-9, 106 pages Dab of Darkness, post goes up Dec. 2nd
Chapters 10-16, 100 pages On Starships & Dragonwings, post goes up Dec. 9th
Chapters 17-22, 96 pages Little Red Reviewer post goes up Dec. 16th

I have had this one on my shelf for a while now…and it might be good to cross it off. I will do my best to participate.

I wish! I just got The Killing Moon, which is the only Jemisin book in my local library. I’m looking forward to reading it!

is Killing Moon part of this series, or a stand alone (I am completely embarrassed at my ignorance of her work!)? If your library doesn’t already own a copy of Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, this would be the perfect reason to add it to their purchase request list. 🙂

Gaaaaah! I have been wanting to read that for forever, and I have also wanted to try out an online read-a-long for forever. But I am on vacation, away from my copy of this book. Now the question is, do I buy another copy in order to read along anyway?

paperback isn’t too expensive. You can always trade it in at the used bookstore when you get home. 😉 and if it counts for anything, I bought my copy of Hundred Thousand Kingdoms while I was on vacation.

Very tempting, I loved the Dreamblood Duo. If not, for sure I read it next year.

I may join in. It will depend on how much I take on for that guest post and how fast I get through the stuff already on hold at the library. I might just crash the party late.

It’s very tempting and I had so much fun doing the Republic of Thieves. I’m not sure I’ll be able to read enough for the first round so I’m a bit scared of committing to it.

luckily, this is a much shorter book than Republic of Thieves! And you don’t have to post for each week, you can just do the last one or two if that works best for your schedule. 🙂

I’m totally on board. Probably a little behind because I don’t think I can manage getting the book until December, but I’ve definitely wanted to read this for awhile.

Well, I’m interested but I’m going away for a few days so would definitely miss the first post. I’ll keep my eye on it and see how I get on – you know what it’s like when you can’t rely on the wifi!!

I’ve been very bad at staying caught up with the past two readalongs I’ve participated in, but put me down. This is one of my favorite books that I read last year, and I’d love to do a re-read. N.K. Jemisin is awesome!

Are you planning on read-along-ing the next two books in the series? I have been meaning to get around to reading them for ages! I don’t think I’ll be able to join the read-along this month, but I have read this one before. I don’t think I can re-read in time, but maybe I can still join in a bit in the comments. 🙂
