1. I spend a lot of time on FreeRice. It's a lot of fun, and what a great cause!

[hack_benjamin22]

That's a great site isn't it? It's so addicting. :)

[irishvampire13]

Oh, it totally is. :D

7. i love the discworld books by terry pratchett. full of silly humor.

if you like puns, the xanth books by piers anthony are also lovely and fun.

[hack_benjamin22]

Ah, Diskworld. I have heard of it but never read any. I'll be sure to check it out. :)

Fantasy books... hmmm...

Well, always - Mercedes Lackey's books tend to hit the spot for me. I love the Elves on the Road universe - Diana Tregarde books are fun, the Bedlam Bard and The Serrated Edge books always fun. I love her Elemental Masters series. And of course, the Valdemar universe. I love that I can totally suspend disbelief and her characters are usually engaging and fun. She's also fairly prolific, so there are a lot of them. *shrugs*

Also, two of the books that I continually go back to: The Blue Sword and also The Hero and The Crown both by Robin McKinley. I also really enjoyed her take on vampires and such in her book Sunshine.

These are some of the older books that I absolutely love, and if you haven't read any, you should check them out. :)

Hope that helps :) If you'd rather more up to date recs, ping me and I'll go make a list of what's on my shelf...

No need for up to date recs. I've never heard of any of these so I'll definitely check them out. Thank you!

Fantasy is my favorite genre! Off the top of my head:

Terry Goodkind
Sara Douglass
Elizabeth Haydon
Juliet Marillier
Charles de Lint - urban fantasy, which is so cool

I've been trying to get into fantasy lately, but I had a bit of a rash of bad fantasy books hence the wish for recs. :) I'll be sure to look into these authors, thank you!

[irishvampire13]

I second the recommendation of Charles de Lint. I forget who that was who recced him to you, but I agree that he's fantastic.

[hack_benjamin22]

In all of the recs I've gotten so far there seems to be reccurring authors and he seems to be one of them. I think I'll put him on a list for my next trip to the library/bookstore. :)
