The Book of Lost Things looks really good! I am such a big Neil Gaiman fan and I love all his works, especially The Graveyard Book. Thanks for sharing! :)

Yes, Neil is such a great author! It's a lifetime goal of mine to collect everything he's ever published :) Thanks for stopping by Kimi ♥
DeleteOh, NEVERWHERE! It made my list this week as well. Absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteI know right! It might be time for a reread! It's been a while since I last read it! Thanks for stopping by Becky ♥
DeleteI JUST picked up Barker's The Thief of Always last weekend at a used bookstore since my library doesn't have it. And, I've added a few of your favorites to my TBR! Thanks for sharing and great list! Also, thanks for stopping by our Top Ten!
ReplyDeleteWoo hooo! That's the first book I read that turned me on to reading when I was 13 or so. I mean, I read books before then, but after reading something like that I as like "MORE!!!" I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stoppin by xoxo
DeleteI love the Hobbit! Daughter Of Smoke And Bone is on my TBR list, I can't wait to get around to it! Great list :)
ReplyDeleteThank you and thanks for stopping by! I hope when you read Daughter of S&B you enjoy it as much as I do :)
DeleteHey! First off, thanks for stopping by! I agree, The Lumatere's are awesome. I haven't read Quintana yet, because I didn't want it to be over. And I think it's going to be the best of the lot. But when it come out in PB in May I will devour it. :)
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed Falling Kingdoms and Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Great worlds! Of course The Hobbit.
But said to say, I haven't read a lot of others on your list. I've had The Book of Lost Things on my TBR forever. But it's not made it into my hands...yet.
Great list! And YAY for another fantasy fan!
Happy reading!
OMG! I can't wait for you to read Quintana, I'm excited for you and a bit jealous lol! If you ever get around to reading The Book of Lost Things I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
DeleteThanks for stopping by ♥♥♥
Only I can forget The Hobbit / LOTR and Harry Potter. That's how amazing I am. I'm so happy to see Melina's series as your first pick, that one is my fave as well. I need to read Falling Kingdoms soon! I have it on my to-read it and I just need to pick it up. Great list, Michelle :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Ooohhh I can't wait til you read Falling Kingdoms! If you loved The Lumatere Chronicles then you'll love FK! I can't wait to read it's sequel :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by! BIG HUGS xoxox
Book Hangovers just keeps on getting nicer each time I pop over, I love the new signature! I plan on finally getting started on Falling Kingdoms after I get a few more of my NetGalley books read. And I promise to read some Neil Gaimen, most likely this summer. I was thinking Stardust, have you read it?
ReplyDeleteYes girl! It's sweet, kind of fairy-tale-ish! They actually made it into a movie starring Claire Danes. It was cute. Definitely read Falling Kingdoms, I can't wait to read the sequel, Rebel Springs, I have no idea what I'm waiting for. It's sitting in my bookcase. Lol!!
DeleteAnd yes, my signature :) I'm figuring new stuff out day by day! I LOVE IT!
Always a pleasure Monique ♥♥♥ xoxo
Loved The Daugher of Smoke and Bone! Great list!
ReplyDeleteMissie @ A Flurry of Ponderings
Thank Missie!!! Thanks for stoppin in! Always a pleasure ♥
DeleteBig yays for this list I love it! I've heard of quite a few of these but not read a single one, I'm so disappointed in myself! I am adding so many to the TBR pile because of this list, 'The Orphan and the Thief' looks great! Also I've never heard of 'The Book Of Lost Things' so thank you for drawing that one to my attention! :) Awesome picks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katrina! I've recommended The Book of Lost Things to quite a few people and they've all come back to say they loved it! Hopefully if you get a chance to read it, You'll love it too! The author Miss LeGette of The Orphan and the Thief is such a peach too! Love her xoxo
DeleteGreat list! Sadly, I have not read any of these -- isn't that crazy? I have a ton of Neil Gaiman books on my to-read shelf, though. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! Yes girl! Please read some Neil, soon!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM! It's a lifetime goal of mine to collect everything he's ever published (the ones I can afford and get my hands on)
DeleteThanks for stopping by Jackie ♥
I really need to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Seriously. Why haven't I even borrowed it from the library yet??! Isn't the 3rd one coming out soon (or just came out?). But YES to Finnikin. I want to finish them! I loooved the first one.
ReplyDeleteGIRL!!! If you loved Finnikin you will FREAK OUT with the rest of them. I'm telling you, each book is better than the last! Top 5 favorite books/series! BANANAS over them!!
DeleteAnd don't feel bad about Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I just read the first book last month and haven't even read the 2nd one yet. I'm trying to wait til it's closer to book 3's release date so that the story is still fresh. I better do it soon b/c it comes out April 17th (i believe)
Nice list these are actually all new to me - guess I better get reading! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by mine :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully you check em out and added some to you TBR list ;)
DeleteThanks for stopping by Jenn xoxox
I'm super tired so I'm going to try and keep this short, but I LOVE this list!! 1. Abarat. That's all a list needs for me to get happy haha. (I haven't read Cabal yet, I need to!) Unsurprisingly 2. So does Neil Gaiman. 3. I just read Daughter of Smoke and Bone last week and ohmygod new biggest love ever!
ReplyDeleteYou have great taste Elizabeth! Great minds think alike ;)
DeleteThank you for stopping by xoxo
I've had Finnikin of the Rock on my TBR FOREVER and haven't read it yet, because apparently I'm an idiot--this is the third list I've seen the Lumatere Chronicles on! It seems as though I really am missing out . . . AND I have the first two books in Laini Taylor's series, I just haven't read them (again, because I must be an idiot:p)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Don't feel bad girl! I just read Daughter of Smoke and Bones last month and haven't even read the 2nd one yet. I have it but I'm waiting til it's closer to book 3's release date! Which, I better get on it b/c April is right around the corner.
DeletePlease read The Lumatere Chronicles soon! I promise, THEY ARE BOMB!!!!
Thanks for stopping by Danica! BIG hugs xoxo
Finnikin. <3 My love. I need to re-read those books soonish. Hmm. Amazing list :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Girl, I know exactly how you feel. As soon as I get all these Spring reads off my TBR list, I think I'm going to do a re-read on Finnikin for sure!
