Done, done and done! Although I haven’t read The Inheritance Trilogy, so that must go on the TBR list! Thanks!

Graceling and Fire are another couple of books you could try too.

Also the Stone Trilogy by Charlie Fletcher:
Stoneheart, Ironhand, Silvertongue

Rick Riordan is coming out with a new book series in May of this year called The Kane Chronicles. This time around it’s a fantasy based on the gods of Egypt instead of the Greek gods. Book 1 is The Red Pyramid.

Hi Susan Q – Welcome! I take it you’ve read a lot on this list. What are some of your favorites?

Captain Yarr – All great additions. I should have thought about some of those. :) The Kane Chronicles look interesting. I got the first chapter from Amazon for free on my Kindle and it was pretty good.

Great list! I have another strong candidate. Its called Her Mother’s Diary and it has a lot of the drama and angst that the later Harry Potter have. Worth the read.
