I'm going to finish the Amber series, and I'm also going to pick up and devour Blood Of Dragons by Robin Hobb when it comes out next week.
I've just started Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings, the first book in the Belgariad. I read it when I was in my early teens and am really enjoying rereading it.
I'm currently reading 'James and the Giant Peach' by Roald Dahl since today is International Children's Book Day. :)Also, Delirium, Pandemonium, and Requiem by Lauren Oliver,
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
Storybound by Marissa Burt
and probably a lot more after that but I'm not thinking that far ahead. I know that's not all fantasy, though. Sorry.
Just finished The Way of Kings, and am starting the preview to the lies of Locke Lemora... Probably gonna pick that right up tomorrow before work because I prefer physical copies over reading on my ipad. Been a bit slow lately due to my first time house buying search soaking up so much of my time, but now is a real good time to buy so I am on the hunt!
I'm reading The City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. I'm quite surprised by how much I enjoy it! I loved The City of Bones and this is equally as good. A strange mixture of human characters and inhuman situations to a backdrop of beautiful descriptive writing.
Just finished A Rising Thunder last night and started Shadow of Freedom. After that, it's Twelve Tribes of Hattie for my real-life book club.Then it's choices, choices... the new Anne Bishop book, Written in Red, which is winging it's way to me now? Mary Robinette Kowal's latest, Without a Summer, which came out yesterday and is already in my ereader? And I should really get around to restarting Ship of Destiny!
Finished Prince of Wolves by Dave Gross and just started the second Pathfinder novel, Winter Witch by Elaine Cunningham.
I'm reading the new Terri Windling/Ellen Datlow collection of gaslamp fantasy short stories called "Queen Victoria's Book of Spells." Good stuff.Malcolm
Finished Winter Witch and, being unwilling to leave Golarion quite yet, started Plague of Shadows by Howard Andrew Jones.
will be finishing Conquest by S.Binns, then I will probably move onto
and Svaté války by Tyerman (czech translation of Tyerman's treatise on the history of crusades :)
Read The Great Gatsby. Didn't like it too much apart from the ending.Still reading The Fall of Hyperion and Watership Down. Enjoying them both. :)
And wrapped up Plague of Shadows (what can I say? Wednesday is my Official Day o' Mostly Reading) and just started Carpathia by Matt Forbeck, which looks like it'll be fun -- did you know one of the survivors rescued from the Titanic was a vampire? Get them wet and they're even worse than cats.
I am reading currently The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There Valente its a brilliantly poetic writer. I'm struggling sticking to one book at the moment, having half read Good omens and Hounded! Hopefully can finish those this month too.
Finished Carpathia, which was a lot of fun (and to correct myself, it wasn't a Titanic survivor who was a vampire; the Carpathia was infested by them, come to find out) and started The Door to Saturn, the second volume of the collected short stories of Clark Ashton Smith.

LOL! Sounds fun.
I am struggling through Gail Martin's The Summoner and wondering if I want to finish it. Next up will be the print proof of my own As the Crow Flies (woot!), then The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham.

Read Way of Kings by Brandon SandersonReading Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
Will followup with Dragon Bone Chair by Tad Williams :)

There are so many other books to read though! i'm a very big fan of Terry Pratchett and Brandon Sanderson but not read all their books yet though :)

I'm going to be reading The Hunger Games sort of soon(it was on back order and I wanted the paperback, but I should get it next week), and then I'm going to see about grabbing some of the "book of the month" books from the Goodread groups I'm in(I don't think all of them are fantasy, though).
Finished The Fall of Hyperion last night. Enjoyed it just as much as the first. Onto the third Endymion
