Of course I must include The Hobbit and TLOTR by J.R.R. Tolkien,the 7-book collection of The Chronicles Of Narnia by C.S.Lewis,the 5 books of the Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black, and the 7 books of The Dreamhouse Kings series by Robert Liparulo.

House of Dark Shadows: 1 (Dreamhouse Kings Book#1)by Robert Liparulo



Also loved The Fire Within (The Last Dragon Chronicles#1) by Chris d'Lacey

Of the fantasy novels which I have read so far, "The Stolen Child" by Keith Donohue is my favorite.

Mr. Donohue is a speechwriter at the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, D.C.
"The Stolen Child" is his first novel.

Some of my favorite clean SciFi/fantasy clean reads:

Ender's Game
The Goose Girl
Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
The Hero and the Crown
Crown Duel
Summers at Castle Auburn
Beauty
The Blue Sword
The Thief
The King of Attolia

@ Tadiana:LOVE "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell"! So glad to find another fan. My daughter and son-in-law loved it, but my mom and brother didn't. Can not figure that out. I thought it was delightful with a fantastic voice and lovely use of language. If you like fantasy, GIVE IT A TRY!

Also, Have you read the others in "The Thief" series? There is one that comes between "Thief" and before "King". And one that comes after "King". All FANTASTIC! Megan is a great writer (and a very nice lady). Her avid fans are still waiting for the next installment.

I also highly recommend Brandon Sanderson - almost anything he writes, although some of his can get kind of bloody. So, maybe not appropriate for this group. At least, probably shouldn't be added to the shelf. But, I'm not bothered by violence unless it's gratuitous and excessively bloody. Language and explicit sex bother me WAY more.

Other favorite fantasies would have to be Mary Stewart's Merlin books.

The Crystal Cave
The Hollow Hills
and The Last Enchantment

I believe there are a couple that come after these in the series, but I didn't think they were quite as good. Probably should reread.

Mary Stewart also wrote very good suspenseful romances which I REALLY like.

I've been looking for some good fantasy, but have been unsuccessful. Any ideas?

Besides the wonderful titles already mentioned here, check out ~Green Rider

Into the Forest

The Sword of Shannara

Will do. Thank you, C.

Also The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black

The Dark Is Rising series by Susan Cooper

The 7-book Harry Potter series beginning with ~

For those of you who like regency romances and fantasy, you might try Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamorist series. They are regency fantasies. I've only read the first one, but it was pretty good. Shades of Milk and Honey is the first in the series, I believe.

Also, His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik is like Master and Commander with dragons. The first few in that series (Temeraire) are very good. And clean, as I recall.

Also~The Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke

Fablehaven (Fablehaven #1) by Brandon Mull

Has anyone tried Slayers by C.J. Hill?

Fablehaven
Harry Potter
Cinda Williams Chima
Margaret Peterson Haddix
Rachel Hawkins

I could really just go on. This is my favorite genre.

Had not heard of these, thanks.

So far have only read the first two Harry Potter books, and Missing by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Enjoyed them.

Happy to help.

the kinshield legacy by k.c. may is a good read. it has some cursing and i think only one not detailed inappropriate scene but overall it is good.
