Where are you in Fantasyland? December, 2020

New thread for the new month.

Still in Brackenford finishing up Grindhelm's Key.

Currently road-tripping through a post-post-apocalyptic version of what I assume to be Australia in The Sky Warden and the Sun. I had some issues with the first book in the series, but this is doing better so far.

I've just left the Great Library in the city of Brassbridge after some Sorcery of thorns. This was a very fun read.

Visiting Liavek with Spells of Binding. The stories in the previous volume of this Shared World series were a little "meh" for me, but this batch are keeping my interest.

I'm in the fictional town of Widdershins, Massachusetts re-reading Widdershins by Jordan L. Hawk.

I’m floating around Elantris.

I'm in England and the parallel world of Aurora in A peculiar peril.

Added Ten Arrows of Iron by Sam Sykes to my reading rotation.

I'm heading to Luthadel for a Mistborn reread.

>10 Narilka: Yay! ♥

Added Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi to my rotation.

>11 justjukka: Loved it just as much as the first time :)

Now it's time for A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking.

I'm in Lithvas in Spinning Silver.

I'm learning all about Geralt of Rivia in The Last Wish.

Just came back from Bordertown in Elsewhere by Will Shetterly. It was good urban fantasy, but not spectacular -- basically De Lint Lite.

>16 rshart3: Oh, hard disagree. Elsewhere is one of my favorite books, and I find it much more emotional and memorable than any De Lint. To me, De Lint's characters feel like figures that he moves around a tale to have as many echoes to myths or legends as possible (sort of similar to Guy Gavriel Kay's character writing), but Shetterly's characters really come alive. Are you following it up with Nevernever? They're one story in two volumes.

I'm off to Texas with Mockingbird, another urban fantasy.

Spent some time in a rural England Christmas-time with my first read of The Dark is Rising in 30+ years.

Moving on now to Riverside with "The Fall of The Kings" by Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman. (Touchstone for the book seems to be having issues.)

>18 Niko:, reading Susan Cooper again could be fun. X-nay on the movie version of that, though.

>19 Cecrow: Hard agree. That movie version was an abomination.

Taking a trip to Madame Geraldine's for Waistcoats & Weaponry.

Today I plan on heading back to the islands of Hans Lollik in King of the Rising.

In Rus with Vasilisa, looking for both The Bear and the Nightingale.

The man in black fled across the desert, and The Gunslinger followed.

Finished Ten Arrows of Iron by Sam Sykes. Liked it just a hair less than the first book, Seven Blades in Black.

I'm at the Scholomance in A Deadly Education.
