Obscure Awesome Books For Christmas
I'm looking for some books for Christmas. They don't need to be new. I've already read most of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, Ben Elton and Jasper Fforde, but they represent the kind of thing I love. I also love things like Jeeves and Wooster and the 'Pagan' books by Catherine Jinks
( Read more... )
- Tithe, Valient and Ironside by Holly Black are all brilliant.
- The Splendour Falls by Rosemany Clement-Moore.
- Butterfly by Sonya Hartnett. Not fantasy, but very well-written and heart-warming.
- If I stay by Gayle Forman.
Adult - the Witches of Elinean series by Kate Forsyth (fantasy)is fantastic.
- The Legendsong of the Unykorn by Isobelle Carmody is an awesome fantasy trilogy, though we've been waiting for the final book for a very long time.
- Anything Kim Wilkins has written apart from Rosa and the Veil of Gold. My favourites include 'Giants of the Frost', which revolves around modern day Norway mixed with ancient Norse mythology, 'The Infernal', which is set in monday-day Brisbane, Australia, and deals with past lives and witchcraft, 'The Autumn Castle', which deals with Germanic mythology, and 'The Ressurectionists', which deals with modern day England and necromancy.
I hope that helps somewhat! Most of these authors are Australian, but I do know you can find them in the UK and the US.

Good lordy, that's how it was for me with her Obernewtyn Chronicles (which, by the by longlongwaytogo is also quite good fantasy). I waited years for the last book but now that it's been published and I own it I can't muster up the enthusiasm to read it. The gap between books was just too much and I lost the love.
