Top Ten Tuesday (68)- Ten Reasons I love the High Fantasy Genre in Books. Movies, and TV!

Hi thanks for stopping by!!! And welcome to my Top 10 Tuesday post! 

Thanks to the lovely ladies at The Broke And The Bookish for creating this weekly meme!

Here's this week's topic.

June 7: Ten Reasons I Love X -- could be a certain book, character, author, your indie bookstore, a fandom, a tv show, reading, a hobby, a genre. Honestly anything you want to gush about.

I think I'm going to focus on a genre instead of just one thing so here we go!

Ten Reasons I love the High Fantasy Genre in Books. Movies, and TV! All the movies and TV shows are based off of books too!

And just a warning there will be some gif usage here lol

1. I love High Fantasy because it lets me escape to other worlds where magic is real and so are monsters.

2. It has introduced me to some of my all time favorite book boyfriends! I'll link the books to the guys names so you can add to your tbr's!  Valek, Hector, Elias, Khalid, Chaol, Rhysand, Anton, Magnus, & many, many more!

3. There's all types of heroines and not all of them are badass/kickass (although I do like those!)

4. Elves, Hobbits, Wizards, and other magical creatures. And Legolas *sighs*

5. Game of Thrones. And my 3 favorite characters. Jon, Danerys, and Tyrion.

6. Harry Potter for so many reasons!

7.  Shannara.

8. Many of you probably won't remember this series but I loved Legend of The Seeker!

9. Merlin of course!

10. And Willow, Chronicles of Narnia, The Neverending Story, Stardust, and so much more!

So what about you? What are some of your fantasy books, movies, or TV shows? And check back next week for my Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For The Second Half Of The Year!

Here's this week's topic.

March 24: Top 10 Books From My Childhood (Or teen years) That I Would Love To Revisit

These are in no particular order just books I want to read this spring. Click on the cover for details

1. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES by L.J. Smith. I read these when they first came out in the 90's when I was a teenager and loved them!

2. THE SECRET CIRCLE by L.J. Smith same as above.

3. ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND & THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS by Lewis Carroll

4. THE ARTHURIAN SAGA by Mary Stewart. This is probably one of the best Arthurian Legends I've read. I loved Mary's take on it.

5. THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA by C.S. Lewis. I actually still have a set of these books I really need to read them now that I'm older.

6. DRACULA by Bram Stoker. What can I say? My love for vampires started early ;)

7. THE EARTHSEA CYCLE by Ursula K. Le Guin. Other than Narnia this was my first high fantasy series and I loved it!

8. THE GIVING TREE by Shel Silverstein. I actually re-read this one quite often and it makes me cry more as an adult than it did when I was little.

9. THE DOLLANGANGER Series by V.C. Andrews. I still can't believe I read this in my teens! Flowers in the Attic was crazy! But I'd like to revisit this one too see how much my perspective has changed.

10. THE NEVERENDING STORY by Michael Ende. I loved this book and it will always have a special place in my heart and I love the movie too :)

So this is my list. What about you? What books would you like to revisit?

And come back next week for my Top 10 Books I Recently Added To Your To-Be-Read List
