Your current Tapas Reading list? (Novels only)

A thread for procrastinating readers? Hello, my people

Some of my absolute favourites have been mentioned already so I'll pick some that haven't and am shamefully behind on.

1) Occidendum by @Fuzed is a fantastic novel with great worldbuilding and nicely-written action scenes that draw you into the adventure!

2) The Turbulent March by @Berserker is a fantasy with a twist, with the protagonist being in Orc who has a talent for magic! Also noteworthy (amongst many other things!) is that this novel also updates with great illustrations, something I haven't yet seen in others on this site.

3) The Museum by @cherrystark is another one I'm like a million updates behind and another one that draws you nicely into the world. If you like modern fantasy then this is something worth reading.

@kmlangleyauthor Thank you so much!

Omg thank you so much @Lazuli and @ratscout for mentioning Devil's Triangle! This really made my day.

Haha that's a good call, Lazuli! I think reading it when it's close to finished may make it easier to pick up on all the subtle hints!

And yeah @ratscout, I feel that way about our writing styles too! Maybe that's why I like your stories as well.

Lazu 2020-12-17 13:02:08 UTC #18

So like, WHEN will it be done?
Should I put a big fat ominous X in my calender or something xD

And hey, while you're here, give us your reading list

ivanskilling 2020-12-17 13:17:26 UTC #19

Lolol still some time away! Maybe mid next year haha??
It's like Day X!

Haha yeah I was collating some!

Here are some that I've been enjoying recently:

M.L. Eaden (couldn't find the right tag)'s poly romance with great magic tech!

@fortunusgames 's drama novel that touches on parenting and chasing one's dreams

@Dysis 's fun magic thriller/mystery

and @ratscout 's fantasy story with wonderful world-building!

Lazu 2020-12-17 13:21:23 UTC #20

Get writing so I can give your story some love!! xD
Just kidding, take the time you need xD

Day X indeed!

Ooooh, haven't seen a lot of these before. And I really need to get around to reading Fortunusgames stuff. Sam keeps popping up everywhere on my instagram and twitter xD

I mean, my reading list is a story of things im way too far behind on but here's some things:

@foxnflames' Rise in the East is like the only one im up to date on. It follows the MC, Aderran, as he learns about the world around him and himself with no memories of his past, and its super lovely to read.

I'm SO FAR BEHIND on @BlunderingAlbatross's The End of All Things, and I shouldn't be 'cause it's honestly so good. Amazing worldbuilding and I can tell from where I left off the adventure is gonna kick off into something really exciting.

everything by @Abel is always on my reading list, but Red Hunger is shaping up goooooood. The erotic horror you've all always needed even if you don't think you do.

Do you believe in magic? by @kmlangleyauthor is also high on my catch up list, and it's so adorable I need to read it for the precious fluff. Also I know she's got some exciting things planned from my collab interrogation

Finally, @douglasillusions has some incredibly underrated stuff!!! I already need to binge read Thief in the Night, which is almost/already finished, but her newer work The Saint George Chronicles is a MxM romance following a dragon and a knight of Saint George in their lives as public safety officers in a modern world full of fantasy creatures. Seriously, you are all sleeping on her writing!!! It flows beautifully and it's maturely written, go check it out!!

Lazu 2020-12-17 14:51:45 UTC #22

Being behind on things was the meaning of this thread, so that's great... Or... something xD

ivanskilling 2020-12-17 14:54:57 UTC #23

Haha I hope to get more writing done during my holiday!

Oh yes FortunusGames has great comics AND novels!

Lazu 2020-12-17 14:59:27 UTC #24

Good luuuuuuuck

And indeed! FortunusGames has an amazing work ethic too. Just keeps popping up so much stuff O:

sxxaint 2020-12-17 17:29:15 UTC #25

looks like im behind on reading the thread too then hahahaa

BlunderingAlbatross 2020-12-17 19:14:47 UTC #26

Thank you so much I'm starting to slip behind with Stains too so don't worry about catching up too quick

freneticmind 2020-12-17 20:08:12 UTC #27

That Was Then by The Apple Seed. Heavy focus on past abuse and overcoming, depending on others, etc. Really enjoying this author's words.

This is so fun. Can't even explain. The MC is hilarious. This author always leaves me wanting more.

freneticmind 2020-12-17 20:24:33 UTC #28

Actually, here's another one I need to sit down and get into again. I was thoroughly enjoying it for a while but have slipped lately!

sxxaint 2020-12-17 20:59:34 UTC #29

Dont worry about that! I'll catch up cause I wanna read not for any exchange

Berserker 2020-12-18 00:08:26 UTC #30

I'm trying to keep up with a few. Thanks for the mentions @ratscout and @BlunderingAlbatross. I'm reading both their novels and they are very good.

I'm reading problems of an invisible girl by @may ravenwood. It is a heartfelt story about an girl raised by her foster mother, but treated like she doesn't exist. This lack of love or care leads to her manifesting her ability to become invisible. But she uses this ability to begin to make her life better.

Retribution by @Zorianna is about a young elfish warrior who sets out to find the Vikings who stole the heart from an ancient tree that protects her village. It is an exciting series, and I like how the elvish culture has a series of principles against killing. Many adventure stories add up quite a bodycount and it is nice to see a protagonist who doesn't take killing so lightly.

Prometheus Reanimated by @sarahmassey998 is a great series that tells a new story built from some great lore of the classic monsters and Lovercraftian tales. It sets up a whole universe around some of these stories and two famous creatures are front and center as the detectives of a great mystery.

sarahmassey998 2020-12-18 00:27:26 UTC #31

Woot I have a fan! Thanks for the shout out

Zorianna 2020-12-18 01:19:37 UTC #32

Thanks for the shoutout, I'm so glad you like the storyline so far

ratscout 2020-12-18 04:54:48 UTC #33

Thanks so much for recommending! You da best!

fortunusgames 2020-12-18 17:19:31 UTC #34
