Ooh, this sounds good! Not only does it involve Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess, but it has Tam Lin in it! I'd probably never have heard of this if it wasn't for this post!

i still have about 50 books that i havent read yet but i keep buying more!

at the moment i'm reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini - its the second time I have read it but I think it may bpossibly be even better the second time

next on my list are:

1. Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey. I love her books and I'm partway through her Pern Series

2. The Crow by Alison Croggon. Another author I absoluely adore, her Pellinor series is really good and is another one I am partway through

3. Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb. I've read the other 2 trilogies of hers and can't wait to start this one. I read them in the wrong order, but they are still really awesome books

4. The Silmarillion - because I still haven't read it *oopsie*

5. The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. I've read his Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy and I can't wait to start this one


i used to always have 7 or 8 books on the go at a time, but i've managed to train myself to read one at once

1. Gifts by Ursula K. Le Guin
I've wanted to read the book since it came out and now I have it from the library, though I have to return it very soon... It sounds promising.

2. Viinikauppias (The Wine Merchant) by Anu Holopainen
The last part of a Finnish fantasy trilogy which I have read the first two books of. I don't think the books have been really good, but I'd hate it if I didn't get to know what happened to the main characters...

3. The Lord of the Rings or The Unfinished Tales by You'll-Never-Guess-Who

I miss the LotR and haven't read the UT for a long time. Good reasons to reread beloved books.

4. Inkspell by Cornelia Funke

Because my mother bought it to me. And because I liked Inkheart well enough.

5. A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

I've nearly finished the first part of the series The Song of Ice and Fire and am waiting to get my hands on the sequel.
