101 Fantasy Reading Challenge

This challenge pulls from a specific list of fantasy books that Bella at A Bibliophile's Bookshelf and Jo at Ink & Paper compiled and gathered votes over a period of a few months to determine the best of the fantasy genre. The challenge runs from 10/10/09 to 10/10/10. I aim to read at least 12 books from the top 101 books on the list, and I will likely read lots more from the rest of the list that did not make the top 101 titles. The challenge was originally hosted by Bella at A Bibliophile's Bookshelf, but was taken over by Michelle at 101 Fantasy Reading Challenge.
