“Faerie Tale” by Raymond E. Feist? https://www.amazon.com/Faerie-Tale-Raymond-Feist/dp/0553277839
That is a good (somewhat weird) book.
February 1, 2018 at 2:11 pm #1535088Loved all of Anne McCafferey’s Dragonrider books. Have all of them. Would recommend “The Lord of the Rings” (of course), Robin McKinley’s “The Blue Sword”, “The Hero and the Crown”, and “Sunshine”; Guy Gavriel Kaye’s “The Summer Tree”, “Wandering Fire”, and “The Darkest Road”; “The Riddle-Master of Hed” trilogy by Patricia McKillip; “The Last Unicorn” by Peter Beagle; Mercedes Lackey’s “Valdemar” series; “Game of Thrones” is great, but George RR Martin is WAY behind in ending the books; Jim Butchers “Harry Dresden” series; and his “Codex Alera” series; Barbara Hambly’s “Dragonbane”, and “Darwath” series; really enjoyed Patrick Rothfuss’s “Name of the Wind” and the “Wise Man’s Fear”, but he seems to be having a hard time finishing this series too; and nobody better than C.J. Cherryh at science fiction. Her “Fortress”, “Morgaine”, “Chanur” and “Foreigner” series are wonderful and highly recommended.
Always looking for a lovely GB Young Unicorns, TP Male Dragons or TP Male Griffins!

My bird Tooster luvs them too !! LOLFebruary 1, 2018 at 2:54 pm #1535091Most of my favorites have already been posted but I would add
Anne Bishop – Others Series: First book Written in Red (also pretty much anything she has done. this is just the most recent series.)
Jacqueline Carey – Kushiel’s Dart
February 1, 2018 at 3:51 pm #1535096Oh my heck, how could I forget a classic like Alice in Wonderland D;
Bodine, definitely! You interested in a book swap? ;D
February 1, 2018 at 4:16 pm #1535097I love Mercedes Lackey’s “Valdemar” series too. I re-read the entire series each year.

If you like those kinds of books – did you read the “Wicked Lovely” series by Melissa Marr?
February 2, 2018 at 3:31 pm #1535119Zexious- I have extra copies of Anne McCaffrey books:
The girl who heard dragons
The skies of Pern
A gift of Dragons
Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey
Dragonsblood
Dragon’s Fire
Dragon’s Kin
Dragon Harper
If you want these just send me a PM and I will send them to you. Really anybody who wants them. I need to get rid of some extra books.

Hi!!
No,another new author for me to check out !!
Thank you for your recommendation!!
Under the Rabbit Hole by J.D.Robb
is short stories loosely inspired by Alice In Wonderland, one of the short stories is Fallen, by R.C. RyanWarm Hugs!!
February 3, 2018 at 7:21 am #1535133The Garth Nix “Abhorsen Trilogy” is another good one!
February 3, 2018 at 6:14 pm #1535151McCaffrey and Tolkien are definitely at the top of my list. Most of my favorites are already on here. I would add R. A. McAvoy (especially <i>Tea With the Black Dragon</i>), Larry Niven, Patricia Briggs, Orson Scott Card and if you like military sci-fi, David Weber and John Ringo. I also like Lorna Freeman’s books, but it has been so long since the last one, I am not sure she will ever finish her series. It needs at least 1 more book to tie up loose ends. David Brin is good too. I especially liked <i>The Postman. </i>(If you saw the movie, don’t worry, it has little relation to the book.)
