Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Books From My Favorite Genre. I bounce between genres quite a bit, but thought I’d focus here on fantasy. My list includes stand-alones as well as series, and because I’m sticking to just 10, I ended up not including three that pretty much go without saying: of course I love the Narnia, A Song of Ice and Fire, and Lord of the Rings books! (See? I managed to mention them after all!)

My top ten, in no particular order:

• The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley
• Codex Alera (series) by Jim Butcher
• The Immortals (series) (standing in for ALL Tortall books) by Tamora Pierce (review)
• Uprooted by Naomi Novik (review)
• The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (series) by Patricia C. Wrede (review)
• Wayward Children (series) by Seanan McGuire (review)
• The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King (review)
• The Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner (review)
• His Dark Materials (series) by Philip Pullman
• Stardust by Neil Gaiman
