If this book isn’t gay it should be

Hi everyone!

I noticed recently that (with the exception of Murderbot), I have read a lot of first books in different series, but have not completed the series or in some cases even moved on to book 2!

I was thinking it might be fun for this to be the summer of series/sequels for me, and would like to invite you to join me for any of these you might be interested in! In some cases, I may reread book 1 if it's been a long time (and I have noted which ones I plan to do that with), but in others I will jump into book 2.

Disclaimer: You may look at this list and say, this woman is seriously unwell, because yes, I will certainly also be reading for the readalong/special event, starting grad school, hopefully getting a gold badge in my dystopian quest, and moving to a new city this summer. No one would deny your assessment, you have clocked my tea as I believe the youths might say (please advise, youths). (see comment from AJ below, did a strike through here to take accountability for my thoughtless/insensitive language choices rather than just erase them like nothing. I apologize for continuing the appropriation of AAVE)

Anyway, here's the list, feel free to give me a shout if you wanna read any of them with me:

• Discworld (I have read a few, I'm doing the Rincewind sub-series right now, my next one is Sourcery)
• Shadow of the Leviathan (starts with The Tainted Cup - I'm planning to reread that one)
• Shades of Magic and the other related series in that world (Schwab)
• Sevenwaters (Marillier)
• re-reading Hell Bent in preparation for Dead Beat releasing in the fall (Bardugo)
• planning to read Parable of the Talents (Butler). Would also like to start some of her other series but I am trying to finish what I start (sometimes)
• Wool (Howey)
• Between Earth and Sky (Roanhorse)
• Divergent lol, not sure if you all saw but the author is releasing a new series written in that world, and I haven't read them or seen the movies, sooooo we're doing it (Roth)
• will be reading The Fifth Season for the readalong in the dystopian quest in June, so ideally would also continue that (Jemisin)
• was thinking of rereading The City We Became and then finishing that duology (also Jemisin)
• Legendborn (planning to reread) (Deonn)
• Redemptor by Jordan Ifueko (second book of the Raybearer duology)
• The Tapestry of Fate (Chakraborty - also want to read The City of Brass, see above about finishing what we start before starting more 😭)
• Sworn Soldier (Kingfisher)
• Secrets of the Nile duology (was planning to reread What the River Knows) (Ibañez)

possibly:

• second book and beyond in the Mistborn series (Sanderson)
