This is based on something someone said to me the other day, and it’s been going around in my head ever since–if I were to recommend three fantasy books that you should definitely read this year, what would they be? So I’ve been thinking about it, and in conclusion I’ve made up this list. Order doesn’t mean anything.
1.) Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
2.) Howl’s Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones
3.) Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman*So, now that I’ve shared my list, what are yours? It doesn’t have to be fantasy if that’s not your style, of course.
*I can barely choose between Neverwhere and Stardust, but I’m going with the former because of a personal bias toward steampunky themes.
Mmmmmmmmm Howl’s Moving Castle…Gosh darn, but that is a good book. I read it when I want to feel safe and comfortable and warm and fuzzy. It makes me feel like a kid!

-J R R TolkienWhaddaya mean, only 3? Ok, ok, I’m a somewhat avid reader 😀
In the books I haven’t read:
Aerie by M. Lackey
the latest by Robin Hobb, Forest Mage (it’s on my to-read pile now)
the lastest installment of the Troy Game by Sara Douglass, Druid’s something.That’s just off top. The lastest Anita Blake is coming out this summer I think (hope there’s more POLICE action in this one)… Many more will come up!
Then there’s the re-reads…
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

Aerie was good….but the ending seemed rushed…
