The Magicians

by Lev Grossman.

The man who recommended this to me and in fact loaned me his copy swore I wouldn't be able to put it down, that I'd stay up all night reading it, blah blah blah. I just finished it. 3 weeks after I started it. Meh. I mean, good, but not THAT good.

by Charles DeLint.

Now this is a fantasy I can get behind.

The Rose and The Beast

Fairy Tales Retold

by Francesca Lia Block.

I am still thinking about this one.

Stardust

by Neil Gaiman.

Better than The Goose Girl, but I still don't like fantasy.

The Goose Girl

by Shannon Hale.

Kingdoms, forests, princesses... blah blah blah. I find this type of fantasy so tedious.

Juliet Dove, Queen of Love

by Bruce Coville.

Another book tied heavily into Greek mythology. Dragged a bit in the middle, but it was pretty cute overall.

by J.K. Rowling

Damn, this book was long.

Good stuff.

The Fairy Godmother

A Romantic Fantasy by Mercedes Lackey.

I read this for my Readers' Advisory class. I like Harry Potter, but otherwise don't enjoy fantasy. And I realized while reading this that I really dislike Romance. The steamy scenes make me blush.
