The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narnia



Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_cycle#Synopsis



Uglies Trilogy by Scott Westerfeld

http://www.scottwesterfeld.com/books/uglies.htm



His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

http://www.philip-pullman.com/pages/content/index.asp?PageID=36



Forgotten Realms books by R. A. Salvatore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgotten_Realms



Dragon Riders of Pern by Anne Mcaffery

http://www.iblist.com/series130.htm

Anne Mcaffery is one of those authors whose books just leave you feeling good once you read the last page. While a combination of Sci-fi and Fantasy (the argument continues about which one it is) they sit on my fantasy shelf. Anyone who has ever dreamed of riding a dragon should read these.



Xanth Series by Piers Anthony

http://www.amazon.com/Xanth-nbsp-Series/lm/RDF5340JWQCTW/ref=cm_srch_res_rpli_alt_3

Fun series full of fantastic creatures, a unique world and a magic system based on puns. Yes I said puns! These are a light read and funny as heck (by the rules of the Adult Conspiracy if I say the other word really bad things will happen.)



Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey

http://www.mercedeslackey.com/biblio_series.html

This is a large collection and every book in it is excellent. The concept of being *chosen* by a companion, which is essentially a telepathic horse with amazing powers, is delightful. Once chosen you become one of the elite heralds, protectors of the realm. Start with Arrows of the Queen.

i think of you summed it up somewhat completely. Twilight books are addicting and exciting and that i in my view like them, however the hype is ridiculous. It advocates abusive relationships.Edward is oftentimes a stalker and actually controlling. Bella is susceptible and pathetic. Breaking first easy replaced right into a large sadness because of the fact it dragged on perpetually, and that i do in contrast to Renessme. I advise, she's no longer even married for like 2 seconds and now there's a toddler? in the previous she even gets to be a vampire? Lame. besides, sorry that replaced right into a sprint rant. I enjoyed Twilight contained in the beginning up in the previous the hype and in the previous the action picture. And it would not even study to Harry Potter.

I know exactly how you feel!!!! For 7 years of my life my best friends were my Harry Potter collection. Although you obviously like fantasy, you must not mind romantic novels (because of twilight) so I HIGHLY recommend Meg Cabot novels. I don't know how old you are or what gender, but if you're in your teens and are a girl, I would say Jinx by Meg Cabot because it has a little of both. I also really liked Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix and my brother loved the 'So you Want to be a Wizard' series. I must admit, I too am addicted to mugglenet.com!!!!! You don't even want to know how many hours of my life I have spent there!!!!! (Don't think I'm a freak though because I DO have a life)

I love both those books. I'm obsessed with Twilight. Try The Host. I'm reading it now and it's really good. It's a little confusing at the beginning but It makes more sense and gets better as you read.

I have answered this question so many times, I decided to dedicate a web site to answer this question. Here it is:



http://www.life-after-harry-potter.com



Included is a list of only the best sorcery fantasy books, grade reading level, a short review of each book along with a brief summary of adult content. There is also a "Readers' Choice" list of favorite books, and a list of heroine sorcery fantasy books, plus a full review of "The Golden Compass".



I hope this helps. I would also appreciate criticism of my HP fan fiction (starring Luna Lovegood)

http://www.life-after-harry-potter.com/fanfiction/

It is completely in agreement with the books, and no adult content.

Read Scott Westerfeld's books. There's the Uglies triliogy, So Yesterday, the Midnighter's trilogy, and Peeps and it's sequel Last Days. I love all of them.



You should also read Jaclyn Moriarty's books. My favorites are the Spellbook of Listen Taylor and Feeling Sorry for Celia.

read Kate Dicamillo books. Those have real meaning, and when your done, do the english literature activites on the back.





Go outside it's healthier than looking up fansites for HP or Twilight. (trust me I've been at that stage for months)

Christopher Paolini:

In the first book, Eragon, a young man finds a mysterious blue stone in the forested mountains above his home in Alagaesia. Along with his blue dragon, Saphira, Eragon is stumbling about because things are happening to him which he does not understand. His inner goodness and common sense enable him to muddle through and he has some help from a couple of humans and some dwarfs. In the second book, Eldest, the dwarfs, elves, humans, Eragon, and Saphira have joined forces against evil. Eragon and Saphira have begun training to understand and improve their skills. A new, red dragon makes an appearance. I've been told that in the third book a golden dragon will appear. It has just been announced that the third book, Brisingr, will be available on September 20, 2008. Originally planned as a trilogy, Paolini has recently decided that there will be four books in his Inheritance Cycle.



John Beachem:

Storms of Vengeance is John's first novel and I've been told that it is part of a series of 8 to 10 books. There is a murder mystery to be solved. Who did it and why? There is a mythical Lorradda Stone to locate. There are three parallel stories as we follow the actions of three different groups of people. There are also some ogres, two elves, several sorcerers, a troll, and one very impressive river monster. The book ends with a cliff hanger. One reason that young people gave for liking Harry Potter was the detail in the stories. They will find plenty of detail here as well. The title of the second book in the series will be The Hunter and the Marked.



David Eddings:

There are three stories in Volume I of The Belgariad: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, and Magician's Gambit. Volume II of The Belgariad has two stories: Castle of Wizardry and Enchanters' End Gambit. If you are looking for grand adventure and plenty of detail it is here. Some may object to the slow progression and limited action of this tale. A sorcerer and his daughter, a sorceress, have gathered together a group of individuals to fight evil. It seems that the particular make-up for this group is necessary based upon an ancient prophecy. The group includes: the Nimble Thief, the Man with Two Lives, the Blind Man, the Dreadful Bear, the Knight Protector, the Horse Lord, the Bowman, the Queen of the World, and the Mother of the Race that Died. A young boy named Garion, who was raised by his Aunt Pol, is caught up in all of this, though he doesn't know why. But then, is she really his Aunt? There is so much detail that I have not as yet confirmed there are no mistakes in the mapping of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed The Belgariad and look forward to reading the sequel, The Mallorean.



The Mallorean Volume I: Guardians of the West, King of the Murgos, and Demon Lord of Karanda by David Eddings

The Mallorean Volume II: Sorceress of Darshive and The Seeress of Kell by David Eddings

Polgara, the Sorceress by David Eddings

Belgarath, the Sorcerer by David Eddings
