      I like Fablehaven as well, but I also recommend The Chronicals of Vladimir Tod by Heather Brewster and The Elvenbane series by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey :yes:

        I have also read Elvenbane and Elvenblood. Were there any others??

        And as far as “sci-fi” goes, I enjoyed The Uplift War by David Brin… but I’m more of a fantasy person. 🙂

          Elvenborn. There was talk of a fourth one, but due to Andre Norton’s death, it is unknown when Elvenbred will be released.

          The Chronicles of Amber (the first five) by Roger Zelazny are classic, awesome scifi.
          The Black Griffon by Mercedes Lackey (and her Last Herald Mage trilogy)
          Friday by Robert Heinlein
          Expendable by James Alan Gardner

          I have thoroughly enjoyed nearly every book written by Andre Norton, but some of my favorite sci-fi titles of hers are Star Man’s Son, Star Rangers, Galactic Derelict, Voodoo Planet, The Stars are Ours!, The Zero Stone, and Lord of Thunder. If you have a used-book store in your area, odds are very high that they have at least a handful of Andre Norton books on the shelves; thumb through a few and see what you think. 🙂

          I know these have already been mentioned, but I’d also give a big thumbs-up to David Brin’s Uplift Wars series, David Weber’s Honor Harrington series (the first book is On Basilisk Station), Anne McCaffrey’s Pern and Crystal Singer series, and C.J. Cherryh’s Foreigner series. Very, very good authors all!
