Ooh, good stuff on that list. Robin Hobb -- a favorite over here!!!
Happy TT!
I can't believe I missed your T13 last week! Would have been a blast to play along. Love your choice in authors and characters.
Assassin's Apprentice is very good. I just finished Tad Williams' Stone of Farewell this past weekend. Well, I actually read the whole trilogy this past week. It was a great series.
Great list!
And great blog. Glad I finally found it!

I just finished rereading a few of the Hitchhikers books - great stuff!
Great list of books! My mom has read 1, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13, (and their associated series) and they are among her favourite books. Guy Gavriel Kay is one of her favourite authors and he's Canadian! :)
Dragonheart, I have a thing for Canadian authors (I'm one, too ;)) Another great one is Charles DeLint. He writes really beautiful stuff.
Robin: The Hitch-hiker's series is gold. I think Doug Adams is like a strange combination of Monty Python and Einstein :)
Kate: glad you found us, too :)
She: There'll be a few more playalong T13's, so I hope you'll be back to join in :)
Susan: Robin Hobb is still on my to-be-read list. I bought a book and only realised once I got it home it was book FOUR. I have to read books in order so...I'm looking for books one to three :)
Wonderful list, Dayna. I think my daughter has probably read each of these books. She's a huge fantasy and SF fan. Once she reads them I add them to my laughably gigantic TBR stack. With any luck I should get through the pile by the time I’m in my 90s. LOL
Hehehe. I said it last week and I'll say it again. The only 2 I knew were LoTR and Starwars.
It's odd. I LOVE Sci-Fi movies, but I rarely think to read it. Hmm. something to ponder.
The only one of these I've read is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm not usually a big sci-fi/fantasy fan, so I didn't really enjoy it as much as I hoped, though it did have its funny parts.
Great stuff on this list! Some I knew; some I have to get to. Thanks for adding to my TBR list.
Apparently it's been a really long time since I read a couple of these since I didn't recognize the characters last week, but know I've read the books (like The Last Unicorn).
I love Robin Hobb's work!
Well, you know me. Terry Brooks is my favorite fantasy author.
Although I've never read Charles Delint.
Hey! Stop throwing things at me Dayna.
Jen. You are getting books in the mail. Soon.
People who do not read Charles DeLint have not experienced the full pleasures of life. Just sayin'.
