Sandra  (sleo) | 1913 comments The Poll is up! http://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/64...

Please place nominations here. As usual, all nominations must be in the fantasy genre and need to be seconded. Y'all should know the rules by now, but here they are, just in case:

The book must be linked.
No fair nominating your own book.
Please check our bookshelf for books we've already read.
Books need to be available in a variety of formats.

So have at it!

Nominations so far:
Throne of the Crescent Moon
Black Sun Rising
The Darkness That Comes Before
Green Rider
Cold Magic
Acacia: The War with the Mein
The Once and Future King
The Black Company
Legacy
The Neverending Story
Nine Princes in Amber
The Sentinel Mage
Perdido Street Station
Dragoneye Reborn
Gears of Wonderland
Palimpsest

Any comments? Suggestions?
