It is that time of the week for another Top Ten Tuesday. It is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010. This weeks topic is your top ten ALL TIME favourite books of a certain genre. Let’s be honest here – of course the genre I’ve chosen is fantasy :). As always I am not going to rank these in any order and I am not going to go into detail about these books – otherwise we would be here all day. A lot of them I have mentioned in previous posts anyway so you will probably already know my favourites and I will leave their Goodreads page linked for you to check out. Most of these are actually series but I figure that counts as well. I have also picked series that I have completed, just in case you were wondering. Before I start I just wanted to quickly note that I am rubbish at choosing favourites so these may change at some point in time, but at the moment they are some of my favourites. Onto the list.

Only read His Dark Materials Series & The Bartimaeus Sequence but loved them both! I am listening to book 1 of The Bone Season at the moment and am really enjoying it so far.

Love Love LOVE The Old Kingdoms series by Nix!!! There are so many good fantasy series out there and somehow I’ve missed all the others (except for Eragorn… I know read it but don’t remember any details >.<). Fantasy is definitely the best! The Imager Portfolio is another fabulous (if long) series for you to check out… also Green Rider and Dragon Jousters!! ahhh, too many to chose from!!
