I wanted to do a top ten fantasy books post, but I had so many outstanding books to choose from that I couldn’t narrow it down. Instead, I decided to present:
Top Ten Fantasy Series I’d Like to Reread
-
- The Aware by Glenda Larke
-
- First Truth by Dawn Cook
-
- The Last Dragonlord by Joanne Bertin
-
- Joust by Mercedes Lackey
-
- Daughter of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts

- Dragon Weather by Lawrence Watt-Evans
-
- Heart of Myrial by Maggie Furey

- Thief’s Gamble by Juliet E. McKenna

- Medalon by Jennifer Fallon
I loved all of these books the first time around, but it’s been so long since I’ve read them (10+ years) that I can’t speak to exactly why I loved some of them. I remember general things, but none of the specifics that usually helps me recommend books. Others were so good that I remember them vividly and can’t wait to experience them again. Either way, there are some killer books on this list.
I know rereading these series will cut into all the new books I can get through (which is why I haven’t already read them five times over). It’s that constant battle between the thrill of the unknown versus guaranteed awesomeness…. this year I hope to have reread at least three of these.
What books are on your reread list?

Awesome post. I haven’t actually heard of any of those books on your list though. I also struggle with the re-read versus new books choice.
I chose to participate in Tuesday Teaser. this week. It is from City of Bones by Cassandra Clare if you want to check it out

Ha ha I know what you mean. I joined re-readathon this month reading a chapter a day of Vampire Academy. It’s quite fun :)

Interesting. Once I read nothing but fantasy. Oddly, I haven’t read a single one of these! My fantasy-only days must have been a long time ago.
Here’s my Top Ten: Childhood Favorites.

They are kind of under the radar, but every bit as good as the mainstream fantasy books.

I’m a fantasy geek, so these look absolutely amazing! Hmm … I would really like to reread The Chronicles of Narnia. I love rereading books that you read as a child and kind of discovering the story again. Great post!

A lot of them are fairly under the radar, but they are every bit as good as some of the mainstream fantasies out there. I loved them all. :-)

I feel so lame because I don’t know any of these! And I say Fantasy is my favorite genre, this is embarrassing ;) I’ll have to check these out!

Not embarrassing at all – there are just so many great series out there. If you’re in the mood for a new one, however, these are all excellent choices!
