Our STRW Fantasy Recommendations Continues
Are you at glued to however you watch tv these days when GoT comes on? That’s Game of Thrones of course. The lavish, addictive, often dark fantasy series from HBO adapted from George R.R. Martin’s series A Song of Ice and Fire, one that’s he still writing, I might add if you aren’t someone who read the books first and then started watching the series. Or lives in Outer Mongolia, although I’m convinced they get GoT there too. It’s a land where winter’s coming, a woman ride’s a dragon to her destiny, there are terrifying whitewalkers and even scarier queens now sitting on the iron throne. There’s Tyrion a dwarf who drinks and knows things plus so many mad wonderful, awful, horrific events that have occurred that we stay fastened to this series as though epoxied. You can’t help it. It’s magnificent. And its fantasy. People love fantasy, From Tolkien to George R. R. Martin, to the stories of our childhood, whether it be Harry Potter or Peter Pan, imagining the impossible or the improbable has always captured our imagination and our attention.
We want to slide into those worlds, those adventures, see those dragons! How I loved Anne Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series and Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar series just to name two that I couldn’t get enough of. But really I gobbled them all up. And still do today. I just finished last week Don Allmon’s Glamour Thieves and another story in Megan Derr’s Tales of the High King, a series Lila loves as well. Megan Derr can do no wrong in her fantasy stories. Just check our our recommendations for her below.
We are still working on our Fantasy Rec lists. You all know? I forgot the Supernatural/Paranormal lists, so those may have to come next. But for now, lets concentrate on the Fantasy ones. Our Giveaway runs until August 26~you just might see books you never got to or ones you definitely want to reread!

Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words 
Oops, I found last week’s post before this one, and contributed one I don’t see here, Kushner’s Riverside series (it was one of my first gay fantasy reads). I’ll add a couple of less well known, really good but may not be for everyone – Mark Anthony’s Last Rune series, and Jim Grimsley’s Kirith Kirin. And I’m also enjoying Andrew Q. Gordon’s Champions of the Gods series. –

Unfortunately I don’t read many fantasy because they’re not my favorite genre. So I can’t really think of books to recommend. But I will try
Bitterwood (Rowan Speedwell)
Ravenhearth (Lotus Oakes)
