Top 10 favorite fantasy/Sci-Fi series

[Creme]

For any Anne Bishop (Black Jewels Trilogy + Anthology) fans, her new Black Jewels novel was recently released (sadly in hardback). This book does have Jaenelle and the rest of the family in it + Surreal.

Tangled Webs : A Black Jewels Novel

Note: There is another book with the title "tangled webs" but by a different authors, so just make sure you pick up the one by Anne Bishop.

(sadly in hardback)

I don't buy paperbacks. Half the fun of a good book is seeing a beautiful copy of it sitting on my shelf looking shiny.

(for books that I read often I buy a paperback reading copy and a hardcover "looking" copy)

1. Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien)
