Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Turtleback School & Library) | Margaret Weis

#NYBirthdayGiveaway @LazyOwl

3 in 1. These are 3 fantasy trilogies that I loved as a teenager. I spent so much time in the worlds that these books offered me. All three of them are long spanning series that are still going to this day. I might not be reading the new ones that are coming out now, as my tastes have grown over the years, but the memories I have of the older originals are precious to me and I will carry them with me always. ❤️

LazyOwl I've read some of the Shannara Chronicles, I've been meaning to read the whole series. 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @LazyOwl Its a pretty big series. I really enjoyed them though. I haven't read the last 5-6 or so that have been published but one day I'll get around to them. I guess Terry Brooks is gearing up for a finale in the next few years. 7y

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone | J.K. Rowling

So sweet of you to do such a nice giveaway @LazyOwl and Happy Birthday for whichever day it was 🎂❤️ I keep seeing these posts with some great looking books. I don‘t read loads of fantasy but I‘m really trying to get more into it this year 😊 My favourite of all time can only be Harry Potter as I reread all the books at least a couple of times every year ! #NYBirthdayGiveaway

LazyOwl You can't go wrong with HP. I love it and have read several times as well. 7y

Christine11 @LazyOwl I know - it‘s just so good ! I know it‘s a bit of a predictable choice but i couldn‘t think of any I loved quite as much! 😊 7y

Only a few more days to enter, open till 31 January. If the winner is international, I may do a gift card, as international postage is a killer.

I've loved seeing everyone's selections and I think I'll do a post listing everyone's favourite fantasy fiction.

The Complete Wheel of Time | Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson

#NYBirthdayGiveaway @LazyOwl

My all-time favorite fantasy book series is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

I fell in love with the characters and the world of these books within the first few chapters of the very first book. I followed the series over such a span of years, waiting impatiently for each new book to be published. It became more than just another series; it defined a time in my life.

LazyOwl I just finished The Eye of the World. Loved it 👍💕 7y

SandyW Added to the ever growing stack! ☺ 7y

Reminder, just a couple weeks left to enter.

Update to giveaway: I may do a gift card if there is an international winner, as postage is pricey from Australia. If the winner is an Aussie, then I will still do the posted gift.

The Lies of Locke Lamora | Scott Lynch

#NYBirthdayGiveaway @LazyOwl

Another favorite Fantasy series of mine are the Gentlemen Bastards books. 😍

This is another newish (and incomplete) series that was like a breath of fresh air for me when it came to the fantasy genre. The 4th book, The Thorn of Emberlain is due out this year (there's a planned 7 books in total).

I love the characters in this series and following them on their journey is definitely well worth your time! 🙌😍👍

GrilledCheeseSamurai Also...I really need these to be made into movies. Normally I don't think that when I'm reading a book. There's just something in the way that Scott Lynch writes that over & over makes me think how cool his scenes would look up on the big screen! 😍 7y

toofondofbooks My hubby and I have been waiting on the 4th book forever. It keeps getting pushed back 😯 7y

ElishaLovesBooks I just bought The Lies of Locke Lamora! It looks great! 7y

LoveToReadLiveToRead I love this series, I‘ve re-read The Lies of Locke Lamora a few times which I don‘t do that often nowadays. You‘ve made me want to pick up Red Seas again now too! 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @toofondofbooks @Lovetoreadlivetoread I need book 4. Like. Now. Please! 😥 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @ElishaLovesBooks Ooooh. Nice. Hopefully you enjoy it as.much as we all did! 🙌 7y

LoveToReadLiveToRead @GrilledCheeseSamurai I‘ve only recently weaned myself off from checking Scott Lynch‘s twitter feed every week to see if there‘s been a big announcement. I‘m guessing I‘ll hear about it in the bookverse when it happens. Same with Patrick Rothfuss. 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @Lovetoreadlivetoread haha. I can't imagine it's to far away. I mean it can only be.pushed back so many times. I know he just got married and moved across the Country so I'm guessing that's what slowed it down. Rothfuss on the other hand...siiiiiigh. I doubt we'll see that this year. 😥😭 7y

LoveToReadLiveToRead @GrilledCheeseSamurai I‘m keeping my fingers and toes crossed for The Thorn of Emberlain in 2018 then! 🤞🏻I think you‘re right about Doors of Stone though, I‘m not actually convinced it‘ll be this decade! 😱 (edited) 7y

Marmie7 I am just finishing up book 1 and loving it so much! 😍 7y

claffy_reads Woah, I had no idea there was a book after TLoLL! Going to have to find these asap! 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @callielafleur Oh niiiice! What a treat for you. 😂 Yeah, the story continues...and it's awesome! 👌 7y
