The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis (still haven’t read it!)

The House of Storms - Ian R. MacLeod (Loved The Light Ages so planned to read the sequel)

The Chessmen of Mars - Edgar Rice Burroughs (just where I am up to on the series)

The Cry of the Newborn - James Barclay (really looking forward to this, loved the Raven books)

Grave Peril: Book Three of the Dresden Files - Jim Butcher (quite enjoy these books, and again it’s where I am up to in the series)

Jimmy the Hand - Raymond E. Feist (just where I am up to on the series)

All four of the books below depend on me reading one and liking it as I hear they are all in the same vein, style wise. But they all sound pretty interesting so I’m willing to try them:

Veniss Underground - Jeff Vandermeer
The Etched City - K.J. Bishop
The Year of Our War - Steph Swainston
Vellum: The Book of All Hours: 1 - Hal Duncan

Godslayer by Jacqueline Carey
Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman
The Hidden Stars by Madeline Howard
Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem
Tides (ARC) by Scott Mackay
lost boy, lost girl by Peter Straub

Who? Robert Stanek? Or a member of his family? Because that's who all of the reviews on Amazon, etc. are written by.
