veterannoob Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 To get back into the reading rhythm I need in 2017 I'm making a list of books--the ever-changing queue. In addition to my resolution to finally start and read Gaunt's Ghosts (I have all expect the 2016 releases) I'm moving around books still to read, those I'd like to re-read, and placeholders for what I know is coming now that BL has a coming soon section. Here's mine for starters: edit: see, already making changes :) Carcharadons (just started) Garro (42) Titanicus Genestealers Cults Firecaste Leman Russ primarch book Ragnar Blackmane Archaon: Lord of Chaos Magnus primarch book begin GG What's yours?

deathspectersgt7 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 1. Carcharadons (on order) 2. Slaughter at Giants Coffin 3. New Garro 4.Cybernetica 5.Dawn of War III hopefully some Excoriators and Iron Snakes stories coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 1. Finish Carcharodons 2. Finish rereading Scars 3. Path of Heaven 4. If no alternative has shown up: either First Heretic, Betrayer, reread BL Omnibus, DA Omnibus, WB Omnibus are all waiting here 5. Obtain Primarch books of Russ and Magnus, Blackmane, Ahriman Omnibus and the like 6. Upcoming stuff like Slaughter at Giants Coffin, Chris' new novels, Black Legion, DoW 3 Does Inferno count as well? ^^ Still a lot to read and a lot to be released. Either I'll purchase a kindle or I need a bigger rack. ;) Oh and here's hope for some new Iron Snakes stuff as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 My list's growing and already piled to high heaven with non-BL stuff, but let's see... Carcharodons: Red Tithe by Robbie MacNiven Asurmen: Hand of Asuryan by Gav Thorpe (and hopefully Jain Zar soon after, eh?) Khârn: Eater of Worlds by Anthony Reynolds Whichever Primarchs novellas and Horus Heresy stories release, and catching up on the few stragglers I haven't read yet, like Wolf King and Cybernetica Slaughter at Giant's Coffin by "L J" Goulding, though I might wait til the Scythes omnibus later in the year Shadowsword by Guy Haley, since I haven't picked it up yet to maintain shelf integrity with trade paperbacks Ahriman 2-3 + leftover shorts by John French. I picked up book two and all, but for some reason never went on with it. Probably due to the post-End Times drop of interest Resurrection by John French There's bound to be additions, but those are books that I've wanted to get on with or am really looking forward to already. Just for contrast, here's a selection of books outside of GW that are on the list/bedside table for one reason or another and I want to get through in 2017: Age of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan, since Age of Myth was great and I loved his Riyria novels Legend of the Galactic Heroes Vol.4: Stratagem, preordered even though preordering #3 got me the book a month late anyway The City of Ice by K.M.McKinley, loved The Iron Ship for its worldbuilding and characters even though it is slow and thick Star Wars Canon novels: Lost Stars, Ahsoka, maybe force myself to finish Aftermath and Life Debt, but right now I'm still going through the Rogue One novelization (since I already read Catalyst, the prequel), Thrawn when it releases Death's End by Cixin Liu Within the Sanctuary of Wings by Marie Brennan, because that entire series was delightful Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson, just waiting for a neat trade paperback that combines both volumes, like they released for the first book. Also gonna try to start Mistborn, mayhaps Red Sister by Mark Lawrence Sins of Empire by Brian McClellan Winter Tide by Ruthanna Emrys, due in April but I got a review copy on my bedside table The Red Knight by Miles Cameron Twelve Kings in Sharakhai by Bradley P. Beaulieu, once I can decide which print version to get (because the US has nicer covers but different formats, while UK version looks dumb, and the French one is written in gibberish but has Marc Simonetti and I might still pray for a reprint with that one...) Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel, as an audiobook (written in personal accounts and reports, or interviews, so perfect for multi-actor audiobooks; worked fantastic for book one) Yamada Monogatari's remaining three novels by Richard Parks And that's ignoring another time as much that I'd like to squeeze in somewhere but undoubtedly will not be able to unless a miracle happens.

The BL releases I am very much interested in already are: Leman Russ: The Great Wolf- Wraight Magnus: Master of Prospero- McNeill Perturabo: Hammer of Olympia- Haley The Carrion Throne- Wraight The Emperor's Legion- Wraight The Crimson King-McNeill Horus Heresy book 43 The Black Legion- ADB In the next few weeks I aim to be onto Horus Heresy Inferno, which just looks spectacular, as well as Fall of Cadia, and the Tzeentch Battletome. From the Non-BL list, I am looking forward to getting: The Unholy Consult-Scott Bakker ( superb Fantasy series, everyone needs to try this) Fool's Fate-Robin Hobb ( a personal top favorite, this is the final book in the saga) Winds of Winter-GRRM ( surely a 2017 release one hopes, how much longer could he possible take?) The Witchwood Crown- Tad Williams ( Williams returns to the world of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn after 25 years) In Calabria- Peter Beagle From your list I am interested in the second Neuvel book. I did not buy the first one because I wanted to see how it goes on and Waking Gods looks good, so will give that a chance. I also have Voyage of the Basilisks by Brennan to read, that is a very nicely written pseudo historical Fantasy, with a very scientific approach to dragons.

DukeLeto69 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 My list for BL in 2017 looks something like this (will read in order published most likely)... The Carrion Throne - Wraight The Emperor's Legion - Wraight The Black Legion - ADB Ahriman omnibus - French Resurrection: The Horusian Wars - French Several HH books (as I only buy MMPB so a bit behind)... HH War Without End HH Pharos - Haley HH Eye of Terra HH Path of Heaven - Wraight HH The Silent War Firecaste - Fehervari (if I can locate a copy) And then other books depending on how well they review.

Roomsky Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I've promised friends that I'd read the first three Dune books and all of A Song of Ice and Fire in the near future, so that leaves Black Library a little pushed to the side. What I'd definitely like to get done is as follows: Master of Mankind (Whenever it arrives) Leman Russ: The Great Wolf Carchoradons The Beast Arises series The Talon of Horus The Emperor's Gift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, you actually did read outside of BL! I spotted The Emperor's Railroad on your Twitter feed Hell's Bells, you're right! I did, plus a bunch of other books though I would name them for school, in the broadest sense. Audible also did book one in Gav Thorpe's Crown of the Blood HBO-Fantasy setting From one of the like, 6, Gav interviews in 2016, he referred to it jokingly like this. Think that made it onto the air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDarth151 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I do my planning for reading quarterly. So for the first quarter of 2017... Legion of the Damned, by Rob Sanders, which I already started and which I am liking thus far. Then, Rynn's World, by Steve Parker. Then, The Macharian Crusade series, and then The Beast Arises series. Seems like a good plan for the beginning of the year. I will decide what to do next in march. Or earlier, if I exceed my own pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I forgot that the Macharian Crusade omnibus is due in a few months. I managed to snatch the hardback of Angel of Fire on preorder, I assume they made a pricing mistake at the time since it was damn cheap. Good book, but I never took the plunge on the rest. Will have to grab the omnibus when it releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelborn Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I might wanna add a none BL author: David Kirks Child of Vengeance and Sword of Honor.

Kelborn Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I can recommend the Butlers Djihad series and the other trilogy of it, legacy of dune? Can't remember it's name. There were two trilogies which were settled long before the events of Dune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto69 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I can recommend the Butlers Djihad series and the other trilogy of it, legacy of dune? Can't remember it's name. There were two trilogies which were settled long before the events of Dune. IMHO the books written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson are nowhere near as good, complex or thought provoking as Frank Herbert's original 6 books. They have a completely different style and read more like (very good) fan fiction. In and of themselves the books are ok but of varying quality (the "House" books were the best) and simply lack the depth or creativity of Herbert senior. Clearly W40k has Dune as one of the major influences and there is a direct read across of some concepts. Actually W40k is a lovely melange of Dune, Moorcock, 2000AD and Lovecraft. Would like to see more references to Lovecraft (looking at you Peter Fehervari) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
