What kind of fantasy are you into? If you like some romance with your fantasy, try Sharon Shinn and Lois McMaster Bujold (Sharing Knife). If you are a general fantasy fan, you could try out my book. It's aimed at a middle-grade/YA audience, but you could always check it out. Here's the link to the site where you can find out more: The Legend of Oescienne - The Finding

Ahh, so vampires :) Have you tried Melanie Nowak? She's one of my friends here on goodreads and she has a series of vampire romances out. I haven't read her first book yet (currently in the mail and on its way). You should check them out.

As a goodreads author, I'd love to have fantasy (especially fairy!) lovers read my book, Behind Every Illusion. It's the first in a YA series about a small group of people who discover they are changing in unusual ways in order to help save the earth from the destruction wrought by humankind. Set in modern day USA. Check out the website (http://www.behindeveryillusion.com) and promo video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS9-fM...)

- Thanks!

PS. Also looking for advice on new books! I think I want to read WINGS.

Here are a few fantasy books that I highly recommend:

-The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass
-The Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
-Elfhunter by C.S. Marks
-Max and the Gatekeeper by James Todd Cochran
-The Children of Hurin by J.R.R. Tolkien

Tamora Pierces Imortals Series: Book 1 Wild Magic
Still my favorite series of all time!

[Siareen]

i luv tamora pierce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have you read the other tortal books?

[Malcolm]

If you like Arthurian tales with a contemporary twist and some dark shamanistic magic you could try my new novel, The Stone Crown, and, if you want to try before you buy, there are some short excerpts on my website: www.malcolmwalker.com.au Anyway, have fun with whatever you end up reading. As Nick Hornby once said: 'Life's too short to read stuff you don't like.'

Yes I read the Lioness quartet and both Tricster's Choice and Trickster's Queen! I love all of those books as well!

[Siareen]

me too!!!!
ive read the lioness quartet, the immortals serise, protector of the small, both the tricksters books and im starting to read the first beka cooper!!!!

[Eloradenin]

ooh I was considering reading those as well! I started the protector of the small series but I quit reading for some reason.

[Siareen]

ooooh. its worth starting them again though!

[Eloradenin]

lol I probably will when I finish all the other 70 some odd books I want to read! ;)

[Aviva]

i have way too many books i want/need to read. maybe ill have read all of them by the time im 15

[Jayme(the ghost reader)]

I have 80 items on my TBR list and only 11 of those are not fantasy books/series. I am such a fantasy addict.

[Aviva]

i have about 300 to-read books

[Eloradenin]

ok you win! Geeze that's an aweful lot!

[Aviva]

exactly 379

[Jayme(the ghost reader)]

geez and I thought I was a bookworm. I had to revamp my TBR list 4 times.

[Siareen]

wow same here. i also basically only read fantsy

[Jayme(the ghost reader)]

I have been reading fantasy for 18 years. I read other stuff on occasion but I rather read Fantasy.

[Aviva]

i got recomendations and things people said were good books, or ones i found. i read a lot though

[Jayme(the ghost reader)]

My first ever fantasy series I read was the Rift War Saga with Magician Apprentice by Raymond E Feist.

[Siareen]

i think mine was the faraway tree by enid blyton. i think it counts as fantasy. other then that, harry potter is the book that really got me started on fantsay

[Eloradenin]

I can't pinpoint a specific book, or sereies, that got me into fantasy. I know that I liked the Magic Treehouse Series, and the Jewel Series (oh why can't I think of the name of that series!). But at the same time I was really into animal books, especially Animal Ark!

[Siareen]

the jewel series, as in the one about the different jewel princesses?

[Eloradenin]

yeah I think those were the first fantasy books I read by myself. Oh probably when I was 7.

[Siareen]

lol. i read them in like third or fourth grade. they were really cute.

[Eloradenin]

hehe yeah

[Jayme(the ghost reader)]

Are any of these any good?
Excalibur by Sanders Anne Laubenthal
Merlin's Ring by H. Warner Munn
Unicorn Mountain by Michael Bishop

[Giselle]

Try "The Sisters Grimm" they are really good books!

[Jayme(the ghost reader)]

well I have to read those for a specific task on the Seasonal Reading Challenge.

[Jayme(the ghost reader)]

I just got The Night Angel Trilogy for Christmas. Does anyone know anything about the series? Would anyone recommend it?

[Siareen]

[Jayme(the ghost reader)]

I don't know. i will have to check

[Amy]

I am not a fan of the Twilight series, but I really did like The Host by Stephanie Meyers.

Have you read EE Knights dragon series? I liked them very well.

It's a really good series. It's an assassin in training to begin with. I've read them all. Now I'm waiting for the new book in his new series to be released to PB.
