Sandra  (sleo) | 1913 comments Please place nominations here. As usual, all nominations must be in the fantasy genre and need to be seconded. Y'all should know the rules by now, but here they are, just in case:

The book must be linked.
No fair nominating your own book.
Please check our bookshelf for books we've already read.
Books need to be available in a variety of formats.

Have at it!

Perdido Street Station
The Heroes
Dreams Underfoot
Dragon Precinct
Labyrinth
The Dragon's Path
The Neverending Story
Green Rider
King's Dragon
Furies of Calderon
Finnikin of the Rock
Throne of the Crescent Moon
Little, Big
The Book of Lost Things
