Listopia > Addictive Fantasy Reads, Not the Usual Recs

What it says - books you cannot put down. The ones where everything stops til you reach the last page. Where you sit down to read a chapter and the next thing you know you're 200 pages in.

This doesn't just mean books you love - I love lots of books, but a select few are on my addictive list. Only ones you devoured. If you can, write a note in your list why you chose the book.

We all know about the big guns - Harry Potter, Hunger Games, etc. Let me know the ones you wish you get get others to read.
