Ten Very Big Books - A Malazan Readthrough Podcast
India, Josh, Peter, and AJ are reading The Malazan Book of the Fallen. A bad idea? Maybe, but we'll at least have fun along the way.
Peter has read the series before, but it's Josh, India, and AJ's first time.
Join us, as we talk through each book and enjoy the works of Steven Erikson.
