So it seems

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

So it seems...

So it seems I have read my entire book collection, and I am drifting around, looking for the next story to read. I have no idea what to read, however. Could you guys give me recommendations for some good books that are not non fiction please? Thanks!

back to the Blab about Books

I'm kind of a fairy tale/fantasy fan so all these books are in that genre:

The Young Merlin Trilogy by Jane Yolen (there is a complete collection in one book, I would get that becuase the individual books are very short)

Pegasus by Robin Mckinley

Beauty by Robin Mckinley

The Water Mirror by Kai Meyer

The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester

The Mermaid's Mirror by L.K. Madigan

Cinder by Marissa Meyer (first one in Lunar Chronicles series)

Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce (first one in Circle of Magic series)

Sandry's Book by Tamora Pierce (first one in Circle of Magic series) 

The Singer of All Songs by Kate Constable (first one in Chanters of Tremaris series)

The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann (first one in The Unwanteds series)

Hope these help!

Some of these I have never heard of, and will check out, but I have to obsess over the Lunar Chronicles quickly. LOVE THOSE BOOKS! My friend has a signed, prepublished copy of Cress, and I am so jealous!

Thanks! Summer leaves opportunities for books that I need to take advantage of!

@ Arianne:

I LOVE Robin McKinley! Have you read The Hero and the Crown? It is my favorite book.

Heads up to Owlfire about that too, then, I guess.

Besides the classics, I say Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger!!! FANTASTIC series!

The False Prince trilogy.  I read these recently and really liked them.
