Aaron found a great series of books just looking on the shelf. It is called The Books Of Pellinor. It seems mostly undiscovered at our library, so I thought I'd share it with you! They are fantasy books that are supposed to be based on earth thousands of years ago. They are about magic and saving the world...I really don't want to give away too much, but they are awesome!
The main character is Maerad, a slave who really doesn't know who she is or what is outside her owner's domain. She meets someone who changes everything and then she is on a quest to save the world! The writing is very good and the details about everything are amazing!
The books are called, The Naming (The Gift, outside of the US), The Riddle, The Crow and The Singing. They are by Alison Croggon.
They are listed as young adult books (which I have NO objection to reading...they are many times better than many of the adult books out!) but I think it is really only because some of the main characters are youth. Oh, and they have nothing to do with the King Arthur legends. I was a bit confused by this at first because of the name...
Go check them out! They are definitely worth your time!

Ooo...always looking for new fantasy series to read. I'll have to check those out!
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been finding that YA books are more and more the niche that I want to find in looking for things to read.
I was just going through all my old blog posts to "organize" things and saw your name...realized I haven't seen you around the blog-world in a while. Nice to see you are still at it--and I love the adorable baby pictures you have posted a few posts down.
