Celebriän, you've got to give Tamora Pierce's other Tortall books a try! Theyre all so good... the quartet after Alanna is called the Immortals quartet... then comes the Protector of the Small quartet, and then two books about Alanna's daughter. I admit that the books about Alanna's daughter (Alianne) and the last book of Protector of the Small were disappointing... but the rest of them are great. If you loved the books about Alanna, then you will love the books about Daine and Kel just as much!

sorry to back track but i no what u mean by the barthimaeus thilogy they hve there funny moments but gettin 2 those takes awhile!
i cant believe none of u have mentioned marianne curley i love her books, i've read them so many times and still cant get through them with out cryin. Would really recommend then (fantasy as well)
Geoffrey Huntington's sorcerers of the nightwing series is good, hellhole and demon witch are the only1's out at the mo but worth a read.
garath nix is a very gd author but the keys 2 the kingdom series never quiet lived up 2 my expectations!
i think im goin 2 go out and buy sum of these books u guys have been talkin most of them sound v-good.

You know what books I really enjoyed reading... the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery (who was Canadian, w00t w00t!) Anne of Green Gables is pretty famous worldwide, and is really popular in Japan, for some odd reason. Dunno if anyone here has heard of it?
The books are about a young redheaded orphan sent to live with a woman and her brother around the early 1900s. No magic, but Anne is so imaginative, optimistic, and endearing that you can't help but love her. Try it =D

I remember reading Anne of Green Gables! My mother made me read it, well she bought it for me with a collection of other books from the library when I was 11 because she wanted me to read some children's classics, rather than popular fiction :D :D :D I can distinctively recall laughing at some particular point in the book.

I read Anne of Green gables when i was about 8. It was great. I remember laughing aswell, probably when she dyed her hair green. :D
I never read the whole series. I got very bored in the later books (when she's a teenager) and all the books featured were love letters. Very boring when your eight.

Yay, all these people have read the books! Lol Celebriän, love letters would definitely be boring to an eight year old. I don't remember an Anne book like that, though... maybe it was in Anne of Windy Poplars. I think that's the only Anne book I didn't read.
And yodee I remember laughing, too. Like when she did the dramatic maiden in distress thing on a raft in the river and had to get rescued by her mortal enemy, Gilbert. Hahaha.
