Greetings bookworms! As you may know if you read my Top Five Wednesday post last year, I mentioned that I wanted to read more series. In fact, the Falling Kingdoms series by Morgan Rhodes was one of them! And then I got on Twitter, and noticed some other bloggers wanted to read the series and we all said, why not do some sort of read along?
So that is what we did.
Introducing…
Falling Kingdoms Readalong
with the Kingdom Readers!
The Falling Kingdoms Readalong will be, well, a readalong of Morgan Rhodes’ YA fantasy series, Falling Kingdoms. The hosts are:
- Jess @ Princessica of Books
- Drew @ Endlessly Reading
- Tamara @ Tamaraniac
- Josie @ Josie’s Book Corner
- Lillie @ Little Lillie Reads
In case you don’t know, Falling Kingdoms is, in short, a young adult fantasy series that focuses on three kingdoms and four champions whose lives become intertwined in a war between the kingdoms
Though we are announcing this today, we won’t start the first book, Falling Kingdoms, until January 18th.
The full schedule right now looks like this:
Falling Kingdoms (Book One): Jan 18th- Feb. 1st
Rebel Spring (Book Two): Feb 2nd- Feb 16th
Gathering Darkness (Book Three): Feb 17th – Mar 3rd
Frozen Tides (Book Four): Mar 4th- Mar 18th!
Want to know more? Don’t have the book? That’s okay! Find the Goodreads and Book Depository links below.

Rebel Spring: Goodreads | Book Depository
Gathering Darkness: Goodreads | Book Depository
Frozen Tides: Goodreads | Book Depository
Feel free to join in at anytime! For example, if you’ve already read the first book, join us in reading the second book! It’s also perfectly fine if these are re-reads for you. This is a pretty relaxed readalong; we are giving everyone including ourselves two weeks to read each book, with a day in-between. The Kingdom Readers will also conduct a discussion at the end of each book so stay tuned for that!
Are YOU going to participate? Let me know in the comments below!

Sorry for the late reblog, I only just remembered to reblog this now that I’ve decided to join in! I’m taking a risk and ordering all the books out today. Luckily, I already own the first one… good thing we have a few weeks too, because I have some other books I should probably finish up first.

I probably won’t participate just because I have a lot of books to read in that time period, but this is such a cool idea. I’ve never seen a read-a-long for this series, and I hope that so many people join you all! 🙂

Wow I read Falling Kingdoms back when it was an ARC – but I’ve forgotten everything now and kinda wanna get I to the series – this would be perfect to get back into it! Is there a sign up or something or should we just read and post reviews?

Wow! That must have been ages ago! It would be wonderful if you join us as a re read for you!
I’ll talk to my hosts and maybe we will open up a Goodreads group. But for now, we are just going to be hosting it through our blogs and most likely, Twitter. 😊

Hmmm… the first book arrived today, so if I haven’t read it by the 18th I’ll join in for the first one, but I will only participate in the others if I a) like the first book and b) order the books in time. Good thing I have next-day delivery from Amazon now…

I’m still waiting for my copy to come in the mail. I ordered the entire series, but for some reason the last book – Frozen Tides – came first! How weird is that?!
I hope you enjoy the first book. In any case, at least you’re joining us for the first one! 😀

Ooh this is a fantastic idea! I might join in. I really want to read the series but I only own (and have read) the first book. So a trip to the bookstore would be in order if I was to participate. If I manage that, I’m definitely in!
