Every Tuesday over at the  The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  The topic this week is :

ALL TIME Favorite Books Of X Genre

Impossible.  It’s just impossible to give you 10 all time favourite books for the fantasy genre because frankly there are a lot of books that I love.  I’m going to stick to 10 but I’m going to cheat a little by giving you more than one book by the same author – I love cheating!

1. Neil Gaiman: The Graveyard Book, Stardust, Neverwhere, Coraline, The Sandman Series, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
2. Mark Lawrence: Prince/King and Emperor of Thorns, Prince of Fools, Red Queen’s War, The Wheel of Osheim, Road Brothers, Sleeping Beauty, During the Dance,
3. Patrick Rothfuss: Name of the Wind, Wise Man’s Fear, The Slow Regard of Silent Things
4. Sarah Pinborough: Poison, Charm, Beauty, Mayhem, Murder, 13 Minutes, The Death House, The Language of Dying
5. Scott Lynch: The Lies of Locke Lamora, Red Seas Under Red Skies, The Republic of Thieves
6. Brandon Sanderson: Mistborn Trilogy, The Emperor’s Soul, The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance
7. Patricia Briggs: Mercy Thompson series 1-8
8. JRRTolkien: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion
9. Jen Williams: The Copper Promise, The Iron Ghost, The Silver Tide, Sorrow’s Isle
10. Robert J Bennett: The Troupe, The Company Man, Mr Shivers, American Elsewhere, City of Stairs, City of Blades
