Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy - Book 1)
3.  Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy - Book 1) by Robin Hobb
The list author says:
  "What can I really say about Fitz? Such a good read and so bittersweet that it often seems curelly realistic. Another Hobb trilogy, yes, but they're so good!"

The Pillars of the Earth
4.  The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
The list author says:

The Light Fantastic: A Discworld Novel
5.  The Light Fantastic: A Discworld Novel by Terry Pratchett
The list author says:
  "Not my favourite Pratchett book, but I found it very useful to start at the beginning. You'll soon learn about Witches, the City Watch and find that Death really does have (rather dry) humour."

His Dark Materials Trilogy: "Northern Lights", "The Subtle Knife", "The Amber Spyglass"
6.  His Dark Materials Trilogy: "Northern Lights", "The Subtle Knife", "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman
The list author says:
  "Although termed a children's book it actually raises some interesting theological issues. Lyra's universe is subtly different from ours - but not so much so."
Used & New from: £29.88

Under the Eagle
7.  Under the Eagle by Simon Scarrow

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1)
8.  A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) by George R. R. Martin
The list author says:
  "An 'unexpected' author, who isn't afraid to really harm his main characters for the sake of the story. You know it can only end in tears but, trust me, you will keep on reading."
Used & New from: £3.24

Roman Blood
9.  Roman Blood by Steven Saylor
The list author says:
  "A Roman whodunnit but a more adult version than most. Saylor sets his story in Pre-Ceasar Rome - the time of the Republic. Incredibly informative without losing any 'story' as it were."
Used & New from: £0.01

Wizard's First Rule: Book 1: The Sword Of Truth Series: Wizard's First Rule Bk.1
10.  Wizard's First Rule: Book 1: The Sword Of Truth Series: Wizard's First Rule Bk.1 by Terry Goodkind
The list author says:
  "The first book in an ongoing series and, in my eyes, the best of them. The book itself it brillaint, and the series is an enjoyable read. The plots are believable, but not so unexpected as others."
Used & New from: £0.01

Strange Meeting
12.  Strange Meeting by Susan Hill
The list author says:
  "One of the books that I read for my A-level reading list and surprisingly moving. If you need any idea about the fraternity that built up in the trenches, this book is a great starting point."

Harry Potter Hardback Box Set: Five Volumes
13.  Harry Potter Hardback Box Set: Five Volumes by J. K. Rowling
