I am reading and loving @adapalmer #InventingTheRenaissance and it is - within my mind - in (mostly gentle) discourse with #JoWalton’s #Lent and #GuyGavrielKay’s #ABrightnessLongAgo, both of which I read years ago, and which I now want to re-read. #bookstodon

Of course I can read any of the #books I have already open. Or ready to be #read.
Or I could just reread #Tigana. Again. Just one more time.
Just. One. More. Time.

The first genre fiction I ever bought from my own money, back in 1992(?). -
@bookstodon
60 pages in, I'm really enjoying Written on the Dark, Guy Gavriel Kay's new book.
GGK never disappoints, he is always a treat and joy to read. -
@bookstodon Oh. Oh yes. I got a mail from a book store today that the new book by Guy Gavriel Kay, Written on the Dark was available to order. It didn't take me long.

@jrbee
Haha, I most likely read it at some point since it was published in 1990 and I know that books by #GuyGavrielKay tend to be quite dense. Still, I've queued it up in my TBR audiobooks. Going on a #RoadTrip, as I am next week, is a great time to get into very long and complex #audiobooks. I read his most recent books (less dense) on my last 2 trips.

This whole #RomanEmpire trend-thing is slightly depressing, since my favourite #nhl #hockey team is the #OttawaSenators, my favourite book is #GuyGavrielKay's brilliant #SarantineMosaic (set in a version of Justinian's Byzantium), and #MikeDuncan's #HistoryOfRome podcast is one of the several that I cycle between as calming-bedtime-noise (living in the city, I find that putting on a soothing voice speaking in a measured tone helps to drown out other noises much better than a fan or other white-noise does). Stop co-opting all the stuff I like, problematic hetero dudes! 😾

#CurrentlyReading: #ChildrenOfEarthAndSky by #GuyGavrielKay. This is one of my favourite authors in all the world, and the good thing about being a little behind on his catalogue is that I don’t have to wait a couple of years in between books 😊

@bookstodon
I actually finished a 500-page dead tree book!! Virtually all of my reading is audio but I keep a print book at my table to read while I eat, usually about 200 pages or so. However, I bought a signed copy of #AllTheSeasOfTheWorld by #GuyGavrielKay from #McNallyRobinson last spring so I reread the 2 previous loosely-linked books on high-speed audio and then got started. It was a very satisfying read. Recommended for fans of #HistoricalFiction and #Fantasy. -
@owlislost @RHW @bookstodon
#GuyGavrielKay has been doing a fantasy/historical fiction crossover for a very long time and I believe that his books sell very well. He's Canadian, which may be why you haven't heard of him. -
Rereading #TheSummerTree by #GuyGavrielKay. It must be more than 30 years since I first read it.
-
@nzas95
Continuing #AllTheSeasInTheWorld by #GuyGavrielKay in print and #RidgeRunner by #GilAdamson in audio. They're both pretty great. -
@owlislost Oh, #MissingHearts is very well done and Flights is on my TBR list. I really enjoyed both the other Tokarczuk books I read. Just finished Hester and #AmReading #GuyGavrielKay All the Seas of the World (print), as well as Night of the Living Rez (audio). Trying to hit 70 books for 2022. May be one short!

@simkern
Started that in between books but then another read took over. Will return to it at some point! Currently midway through 3 fat books by #GuyGavrielKay. Alternating between print and audio. -
@bethroots @RomComLove
I enjoyed that one a lot because it took place near where my mom was raised and I visited some of the places in the book in 2019. However, Kingsolver's most recent book, #DemonCopperhead was a much stronger story.
#AmReading #ChildrenOfEarthAndSky by #GuyGavrielKay
I have 3 of his fat books, and this is #2 for this week of reading. I could stand fewer characters/storylines but I think I'm following, so far.

@EllenInEdmonton @justinling WONDERFUL! Have you also read Children of Earth and Sky, and A Brightness Ling Ago? Not required reading but they link together very satisfyingly. #GuyGavrielKay

@caroreads @bookstodon My number 2 read this year was #GuyGavrielKay’s All the Seas of the World. It is a wonderful book and brought me much joy to read.

@justinling Guy Gavriel Kay’s All the Seas of the World was a wonderful read this past summer, and a fitting and satisfying end to his last 3 loosely-connected books.
-
@bigbeardedbookseller Either for those who struggle with names / memory or because there's a character limit if you go on too long 😉
For today's version of the list I'll go with:

@caffeneko The best description is historical fantasy. I discovered him after he was quoted in an article about Dorothy Dunnett, my favorite author of all time He considers her one of his inspirations and you can tell. Amazing detail and compelling characters #GuyGavrielKay #DorothyDunnett
