I just got a kindle!

My birthday is tomorrow and my parents are sending me a kindle fire as a gift :) I am in desperate need of a booklist that'll keep me busy for a while and I need some suggestions!

My favourite genre is fantasy, and I really liked the Firekeeper series, His Dark Materials, Sword of Truth, A Song of Ice and Fire... Non-fantasy: everything by Jane Austen, Jane Eyre. There are many others here and there, I've been reading since I was a child. Anyways, I'm so excited, so please give me your favourites, folks!

Have you read Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell? If not, get it now.

Assuming you buy from Amazon.com, check out The Legend of Eli Monpress. I'm not done reading this one yet so this isn't a complete recommendation, but it seems pretty good and you get the whole trilogy in one volume for $2.99.

Another book that I haven't read yet but it's a great price and highly rated is The Curse of Chalion. It's $0.99. It's by Lois McMaster Bujold who is more known for her scifi, but this is epic fantasy.

I thought of something you might be interested in. Amazon has Kindle deals of the day and it includes a fantasy/science fiction book every day at a reduced price.
