For something light try the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne or the Dresden series by Tim Butcher.
I am very fortunate to work in a library and find heaps of great books in the YA section e.g. Tamora Pierce or Garth Nix, although I am reluctant to recommend them as some adults become offended at the thought of reading a “children’s book”. For quick read (in one sitting) you might even like Clemency Pogue Fairy Killer (can’t remember the author). Next time you are at your local Library check out the YA and Junior section, you never know what you might find. Hint Hint!!! if you are not already a member. I use it as a try before you buy system. My kids can’t understand why I keep buying books when I have them at work for free!!! Most Libraries will also take member recommendations for purchase if there is a new author you would like to try but don’t want to buy the book in case you don’t like him or her. Here endeth the sermon!!

I started a list of all of the recommendations last time, so I will find it, and combine it with the recommendations this time. It was mentioned that it should be put on Crydee.com, but was squashed, as it might appear to be recommendations from Ray. Of course, I can't believe that no-one mentioned some of the more well-known authors, I guess that it goes without saying, but I'm going to say (write) it anyway, Terry Pratchett - Discworld Series, Robert Asprin - Myth Series, Janny Wurts - The Cycle of Fire Series For an Australian twist, Sara Douglass - Axis Series I have a personal library of over 1000 books, probably half I haven't read yet (for some reason, I keep re-reading about 30 odd books by the same author, strange that!), and I have found that most of the recommendations are in there, which promises years of good reading :-) Jim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neil Morgan Sent: Wednesday, 15 May 2013 6:04 AM To: feistfans-l Subject: Re: In need of something new Have to agree, excellent books.
