This list is compiled of fantasy books that I have read and liked as well as other popular series that I have not read, but I am interested in. The webpages below are where I have pulled some of the book recomendations. Each series is just under one promt so that it is checked off if you read just one book from the series. I listed the rest of the books in their universes in case you (or me) are interested in reading more than one book. The numbers in parenthesis show (the essential books in the series + additional books in the universe)
