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 a throwback freebie so I’ve decided to share 10 great books that were released in the early 2000’s. Basically roughly between 10-20 years ago. I have read and loved all of these books, so this topic was a great excuse to talk about them/ recommend them to you guys :). Let’s get started.

1. Son of the Shadow / Juliet Marillier / second book in the Sevenwaters series / first published 2000

2. Furies of Calderon / Jim Butcher / first book in the Codex Alera series / first published 2004

3. The Magician’s Guild / Trudi Canavan / first book in the Black Magicians trilogy/ first published 2001

4. The Gift / Alison Croggon / first book in the Pellinor series / first published 2002

5. The Amulet of Samarkand / Jonathan Stround / first book in the Bartimaeus trilogy / first published 2003

6. Wolf Brother / Michelle Paver / first book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series / first published 2004

7. Fudoki / Kij Johnson / first published 2003

8. Ruins of Gorlan / John Flanagan / first book in the Ranger Apprentice series / first published 2004

9. Fool’s Errand / Robin Hobb / first book in the Tawny Man trilogy / first published 2001

10. Old Man’s War / John Scalzi / first book in the Old Man’s War series / first published 2005

So coming up with the answers to this actually made me aware that I haven’t read a lot of fantasy books written after the 2000’s, if that makes sense. I definitely want to try out more fantasy books written in the 80’s and 90’s. Have you guys read any of these books? Spot any favourites? I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.
