I can’t remember when I first read it. Had to have been around 2012 or so. There are also two more in the series…one a prequel. I’ll have to re-read Wool before I start on the others though because it’s been so long.

here are some of my favorites
– The Name of the Wind – Patrick Rothfuss,
– Monster Blood Tattoo – DM Cornish (this one is a bit complicated as it almost has its own language, but its so worth it!)
– The Onion Girl – Charles De Lint
– The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making – Catherynne M Valente

those are just a start and looking at the list, I realize they are all part of a series, so if you like one, then you can continue the story… maybe one day we can sit down over tea or hot chocolate and discuss our favorites!

The Fey series by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
For me the Fey had been the by far best planned and written fantasy world.

And for fun: “Illegal Aliens” by Phil Foglio and Nick Polotta
Science fiction, but I just love Phils humor!

And now I’ll be off, looking for “Fifth Season” 🙂

I have read “Frankenstein” which I liked, I just finished “The Hobbit” which I loved. I am sorry to say I read “The Fifth Season” and couldn’t get myself to read the next two in the trilogy, I just didn’t like it at all, sorry. 🙁
I have now started “The Lord of the Rings” which I really like so far.
I also listened to the audiobook (free on Librivox) of “Mathilda” by Mary Shelley, it is very poetically written and dark(ish). I liked it much more than I had planned on.
I also recommend the book “Lisey’s Story” by Stephen King, it’s much different from most of his work, I think you would like it.

I am still working on the first draft of my novel, but I did write a children’s book that I now need to illustrate, once I learn how to draw! LOL
I also decided to write a quick short story (to try and make a little money on 😉 ), but it is suddenly getting kinda long, and the other night I was typing along and “Bang!” two new characters just popped into the storyline. It surprised me, it was like the story was writing itself, and my fingers were just there, I think my brain left for a coffee break! (it can be a slacker)
Writing has become very important to me. 🙂
