Hi

Please leave your one nomination and or your one second for December.

No young adult books and all noms must be fantasy.

All noms must have a link or will be discounted.

Any books nominated must have been checked against previous books read.

This poll will be closed by the 10th. The first 12 books complying with thd rules will go forward. Thanks.

I'll nominate The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass. It's the first book in a trilogy, very good epic fantasy and I never see anyone talk about it.

I second The Wayfarer Redemption and I'd like to nominate Herald of the Storm by Richard Ford.

I would like to nominate "The Seeking Sword," by Jaan Kangilaski. This is a older book, but I really think this one has been overlooked over the years.

The Charwoman's Shadow by Lord Dunsany. A great classic of the genre.

I nominate Cloud and Ashes: Three Winter's Tales by Greer Gilman. 'Tis the season.

The Hollow March by chris galford. solid fantasy.

I'll second Charwoman's Shadow and nominate The God Stalker Chronicles by P.C. Hodgell.

I second The Hollow March.

The Element of Fire, Martha Wells, mainly because I loved her Raksura books.

This keeps getting nominated but gets few votes.....

If this is a book of short stories then it wont count. However if all members are willing we may do a short story special in January so hold that thought!

Perhaps it will grow on people. 0:)

well lets see. I admire the repeated nom...

How about Steven Eriksons The Forge of Darkness....the second in this series is due out in January so the timing would be perfect!

I nominate I Know Not and second Herald of the Storm.

I nominate The Falcon's Eye by S Nathan.

The Falcon's Eye by S. Nathan

I'll second Herald of the Storm by Richard Ford.

So far
Herald of the storm
The wayfarer redemption
The Charwomans shadow
The hollow march
The forge of darkness
Deerskin
illmade mute
The city
The folding knife
have been seconded.

There are several I've been wanting to read...so narrowing it down can be a trick. I'll nominate Age of Iron .

I would like to nominate a lot of books, yet since most of them have already been read I will nominate Dragonsbane instead and second The Forge of Darkness.

*Edit: if possible, may I split my second in two and give the other half to Age of Iron? I mean.. druids!

I'll nominate Stella Gemmell's, The City:

/book/show/1...

I'll second Herald of the Storm

nomination:
Unwrapped Sky
Minotaurs everyone... MINOTAURS!!!

I'll second The City

I'll nominate Deerskin by Robin McKinley. :]

I'll second Deerskin. Just a note- it is listed as YA, but it's also listed as adult, so I'm not sure if it'll count or not. Personally, I consider it more of an adult book because of some of its themes.

Oops! What do you think, Bev?

Also, I'll nominate The Ill-Made Mute.

I'd like to nominate Shattering the Ley by Joshua B. Palmatier.....I read it when it came out in July and I think there are a lot of good discussion points in it....(nominating on mobile...can't figure out how to link the book--sorry!)

Shattering the Ley

Is that it?

Yes! Thank you, Mike....

I've be meaning to pick up this one!

Just a heads up - Ill-Made Mute isn't available as an ebook that I know of.

How about The Magician’s Land?

The Ill-Made Mute is available for kindle (ASIN: B004TSAQYY), I second it.
I'd like to nominate the The Folding Knife by K.J. Parker, I'm really looking forward to try a book by Parker.

I will pick up your posts later today. Uk time. Currently decorating. I wkll have a look at the disputed YA book too.

I see you are in Italy - we don't have it in the US :(

I had to search several used bookstores to find new copies after foolishly trading mine in a few years ago.

Deerskin has about the same YA votes as Half a King. Just for comparison.

I agree it deals with extremely dark subject matter. While I love it, it is a difficult read (emotionally).

I'll second The Folding Knife. I love Parker and haven't read this one yet.

Yes, but I'm a registered user of Amazon.com, I cannot shop ebooks from the IT store. I'm confused now, is not working for US people? Anyway I've just noticed there's another asin B002SQ5AVS. Thanks for seconding The Folding Knife, it looks intriguing!

I would like to suggest



Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy 2014

Blurb:
Over 400 pages, twelve stories, and covering almost every sub-genre of Fantasy fiction. This book contains a whole slew of excitement and adventure. Featuring: Erich Johnson, John H. Howard, Kerry Morgan, Steven L. Shrewsbury, Joel Turpin and River Wolf.

"Whether you like sword and sorcery, high, dark or contemporary fantasy, you're sure to find it in Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy 2014. Featuring 12 exciting adventures from Kerry Morgan, Joel Turpin, Erich A. Johnson, John H. Howard, River Wolf and Steven L. Shrewsbury." (blurb from the back of the book jacket)

Yeah, I can't use that link. I think it has to do with the official address on either your account or credit card.

I would like to suggest The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin. And a cold-blooded killer.
His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good. . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

The first book of awesome series!

If this is a compilation then we dont do them. If its short stories then nominate it in Jan when we will be doing a short story one off.

Hi which book are you referring to ?

Maria wrote: "Also, I'll nominate The Ill-Made Mute."

This may be difficult to locate. There is a kindle version here in the UK but an actual book may be more problematic. That said I am willing to include it unless anyone expresses issues.

Deerskin appears to have very adult themes and has won an adult award so I will let it pass.

No one second only so your first choice stands.

I believe this one Bev. In the US it comes up...can not purchase at this time.
