I don't think there is. I sort my gr shelves like "contempt read" and "contemp to-be-read" so that when I'm in the bookstore and feel like a contemp I can just look through those shelves.


message 13: by Janie (new)

Janie (sjelli11) Bummer. I went through listopia to find a good fantasy one.

1. Silver Phoenix (Kingdom of Xia, #1) by Cindy Pon
2. Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles, #1) by Melina Marchetta
3. The Demon King (Seven Realms, #1) by Cinda Williams Chima
4. Incarnate (Newsoul, #1) by Jodi Meadows

6. City of a Thousand Dolls (Bhinian Empire, #1) by Miriam Forster
7. The Burning Sky (The Elemental Trilogy, #1) by Sherry Thomas (Released mid-Sept but I think its available for request on Edelweiss) - Haven't read yet but love the cover so even though its probably not eligible for this round, I just want to show off the pretty cover. =)

Yeah, one a person unfortunately ;)

Silver Phoenix was almost my nomination!

I'm excited about Burning Sky but I liked the old cover so much better!

Finnikin of the Rock is AMAZEBALLS; I highly recommend for all fans of fantasy. I liked Defiance, too and it had a little steampunk in it which was cool. I was disappointed by The Burning Sky but, then again, it may be a good BOTM read because there may be LOTS of discussion. ; )

I'm just going to throw another in the mix for the fun of it.

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave (The 5th Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey

This *may* be more sci-fi than fantasy but it lists Fantasy on it's GoodReads main page so... ?

Well then, I suppose I second Graceling cause I haven't read that in years and I'd like to reread it.
