I like lists (a lot), and all the books you recommended here look really good! I'm a Hobbit/Narnia fan already, and have read G.C. Levine's books - but the Sanderson book was one I've never heard of. Will definitely check that out sometime. Thanks for sharing!

Yay! These are some of my all-time favourites—so far anyway!

If you do check it out, I hope you enjoy it... I know that the sarcastic, fourth-wall breaking style isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Thank you for reading!!

The Three Doors Trilogy by Emily Rodda is fantastic!!! It's got awesome characters, an intriguing mystery and lots of fantasy. It's been a bit since I read it, but I really want to reread!

Yes! Those seem to be some of the most popular ones on this list. They really are classics in the fantasy genre.

I love many of these books! Haven’t read Finding Serendipity, or the Word Hunters book. The Alcatraz book is one of the funniest I’ve read! I loved Sisters Grimm as well and Ella Enchanted.

Nice! It's so great to talk to people who have similar tastes in books.

Alcatraz is hilarious, I love how often he breaks the fourth wall! It's the best. XD

I actually haven't met many people who've heard of the Sisters Grimm. And my local library never had the last book, so I only recently finished the series. I must say, I was pretty happy with that ending...

Yes! My library has them all on audiobook so I was able to listen to them all.

Lovely choices! Funny thing though, I've never read any of them except *The Hobbit* and *The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe*

Thank you!

Those two are great! If I was ranking these books in order of my all-time favourites, they would definitely be higher up the list. They're much better quality writing than some of the other more light-hearted fantasy reads, in my opinion.

That said, I like a bit of variety too. 😊
