I love fantasy novels but recently have been having troubl finding any that AREN'T about vampires.
Are there any books you would reccomend?

Not sure of age: adult (as of about 14-16 depending) or teenage or child?
And I'm never personally sure where the line is between fantasy, scifi, dystopia and novels with futuristic/unrealistic aspects but how about...

Richard Adams - Shardik, Maia (adult - quite good)
Margaret Atwood - the Handmaid's Tale (dystopia? - adult - excellent)
Marion Bradley - Mists of Avalon, the Firebrand (adult historical fantasy - good)
Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl and many sequels (child - excellent and funny)
Zizou Corder - Lion boy (child - good but not crossover)
Stephen Donaldson - Mordaunt's Need (adult - good, surprisingly so as his main series Thomas the Covenanter stuff is awful)
David Eddings - the Belgariad, the Mallorean (teenage - boys love it, slow start though)
Michael Ende - Momo (child/teenage - good), also the Neverending Story (some like I don't)
Cornelia Funke - Inkheart trilogy and several others (child/teenage - good)
Frank Herbert - Dune (SciFi? - adult - good)
Aldous Huxley - Brave New World, Island (dystopia - adult - excellent)
Eva Ibbotson - Secret of Platform 13 and others (child - good)
Kazuo Ishiguro - Never Let me Go (dystopia? - adult - very good)
Anne McCaffrey - Dragonriders of Pern series and Freedom's Landing series and others e.g. The Ship who Sang (teenage/adult - variable quality but serious quantity)
Patrick Ness - Chaos Walking series (teenage - very good)
William Nicholson - the Wind Singer and sequels (child/teenage - quite good)
Garth Nix - Shade's Children (teenage - good)
Audrey Niffenegger - the Time-Traveller's Wife (adult - good)
Mervyn Peake - Gormenghast trilogy (adult - excellent)
Terry Pratchett - tons & tons (teenage/adult - you like it or you don't, I don't but lots esp. blokes do)
Philip Pullman - His Dark Materials (teenage - excellent)
Philip Reeves - Mortal Engines series (teenage - good)
Rick Riordan - Percy Jackson books (child - excellent but not crossover)
Angie Sage - Septimus Heap series (child - good but not crossover)
Manda Scott - Boudicca quartet (adult historical fantasy - good)
Jonathan Stroud - Bartimaus trilogy (child/teenage - ok)
J RR Tolkein obviously...
John Wyndham - the Day of the Triffids, the Chrysalids, etc (scifi? - adult - good)

Isabel Allende wrote a few books which are aimed at Young Adults, which I liked much better than her adult books (although I was forced to read The House of Spirits in Spanish at Uni, maybe if I wasn't forced to read it then I would have enjoyed it better!) but I recommend them highly:
The City of Beasts
The Kingdom of the Golden Dragon
The Forest of Pygmies

I second a lot of the books from the list above (especially Philip Pullman and Cornelia Funke) but you should also try Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman, not total fantasy but more dystopia and very thought provoking.

Finally you should read Neil Gaiman - Neverwhere, Stardust, The Graveyard Book, Coraline, Anansi Boys and American Gods - utterly brilliant.

JRR Tolkin: Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
Eoin Colfer: Artemis Fowl
Christopher Paolini - Eargon, Eldest and Brisinger
Lloyd Alexander - (Chronicles of Prydain) The Black Cauldron, The Book Of Three, The Castle Llyr, Taran Wanderer and The High King
Any of Terry Pratchett

you could check out mine, mirror bound by nissa gordon. It's set in the future, with aliens and magic

warrior cats its about cats who live in a forest and have clans they r amazing!!!

No vampires at all in First Aid for Fairies and Wolf Notes. There is a great centaur, a lovely dragon, a scary Minotaur and and some scary fairies. Some great fights where the goodies don't always win and some very funny bits. I'm not keen on vampires either but I love good kids fantasy stuff. Vivien French has written some really books in the same vein.

If it's Young Adult books you're looking for, try some of Trudi Canavan's work. I highly recommend the Black Magician trilogy: full of sorcery, guild and international politics, caste divisions and suchlike. For a slightly younger reader I'd recommend The Prophecy of the Gems by Flavia Bujor, Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin (no magic or monsters - more in the realm of "what if?" than fantasy) and The Moon Riders by Theresa Tomlinson.

Don't know how old you are. However, you could try the Pellinor Series by Alison Croggon. It's a epic saga in the tradition of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, but is a cross between the young Arthur/Merlin legends and LofTR.

Here you have 16 year old Maerad, rescued from slavery by the great Bard Cadvan (so you have the young Arthur/Merlin situation). Cadvan recognises that she has the Gift and later realises that she is the unkown, unschooled Bard of legend who is to defeat the evil Nameless One, who is making a play for domination of the World yet again and unleashing his evil minions on the World. In the first book The Naming, Cadvan has to get Maerad across country, avoiding the evil ones, to his mentor, so that she can be initiated into Bardom, come fully into her Gift and be given her secret Bard name. Unfortunately, the evil ones are now aware of who she is and are searching for her. The first book introduces you to the characters and places, but has enough action, adventure and tension in it to make you want to read the next book. Very good, I enjoyed it. It is adult. However, as Maerad in only 16 in it it would be suitable for teens and there's no graphic sex or anything else in it (at least not yet!).

How about a happy friendly Skeleton who changes colour with his mood and has amazing adventures with his two friends Sasha and Ben and a magical piece of Red String. The books are 'The Amazing Adventures of Scary Bones the Skeleton' and there are three in the series so far, including Dinosaurs and Pirates! Wonderful stuff.

My favourite author as a child (and still now as an adult) was Diana Wynne Jones - she's a brilliant children's fantasy writer and if you've not come across her yet, you definitely need to. A good one to start with is 'Howl's Moving Castle' or 'Charmed Life', regardless of age!

For sword and sorcery fantasy, try 'Zac's Destiny' by Lynne North. If you prefer amusing fantasy, take a look at 'Gertie Gets it Right(eventually)' by the same author. Not a vampire in sight in either!

Anything by Diana Wynne Jones. She writes for a range of ages, from children through young adult and onto grown ups.

Eva Ibbotson writes fantasy type children's books and Mary Stewart has written a few.

Also Mary Stewart has written several witchy/fantasy type adult books as well as some mildly romantic suspense. She's very suitable for teenagers as there's nothing ultra adult that you should't be reading about, in there. Good books, I enjoyed them all.

eragon for teenagers dont be put off by the movie the books are worth the read and i agree that the recomendations above are good, you could try the rangers apprentice.

alot of the terry pratchett books aren't about vampires
one or two do feature vampires but there drastically traditional vampires or are just in for a bit of comic relief
if you definately dont want any vampires read his tiffany aching stories which are part of the discworld and are about witches these are: the wee free men, a hat full of sky, wintersmith and later on in the year i shall wear midnight

Cynthia's Attic: The Missing Locket - Mary Cunningham
The Ancient One- Sheri L McGathy
Septimus Heap series book 1: Magyk - Angie Sage
A College of Magics - Caroline Stevermer

Kissed By An Angel by Elizabeth Chandler (i think) - not sure if it's fantasy so much as 'dark romance'.
The Guardians of Time Trilogy (The named, the key, the dark - not sure of the order) - Marianne Curley
Old Magic by Marianne Curley
Need by Carrie Jones (followed by Captivate)
Evermore (part of The Immortals series) by Alyson Noel

I think that this book has an element of fantasy about it. It came up on my recommendations list and appears to be YA. The blurb looks interesting as to the story.

The Red Necklace - Sally Gardner.

She seems to have written another couple which may be of interest to you.

Also, Beautiful creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

there's Michael Moorcock's Elric Saga (quite a number of books that crossover in parts with his other books - Corum, Hawkmoon, Enekose (<--not sure of spelling on that one ^^) etc. Along with his Michael Kane/Warrior(s) of Mars trilogy - there's also Alien Heat/Dancers at the End of Time.
the are also Games Workshop/Black Libary novels (and graphic novels) that have fantasy in them (Warhammer or Warhammer 40k settings - and you can bypass any containing vampires) # some have strong themes of blood and gore thou

What about LARRY NIVEN: surely everyone hasn't forgotten him?

Apart from his well-recommended sci-fi (Ringworld, Ringworld Engineers, Protector etc and (written with Jerry Pournelle)The Mote in God's Eye; Lucifer's Hammer - all immensely readable, well-written sci-fi novels of stunning imagination.) he also wrote lovely crossover/magic stories. Try THE FLIGHT OF THE HORSE (linked short stories, as I recall) also do try Convergent Series - extremely clever short stories that stretch the imagination and the boudaries of Known Science!

And have you tried the Wizard of Earthsea trilogy? Ursula LeGuin

As this is a Children's Books Forum, could I also mention Tom's Midnight Garden (Philippa Pearce) and The Midnight Folk (John Masefield)? Oh, and the marvellous E Nesbit books: 5 children and It, The Amulet, The Treasureseekers, The Woudbegoods. Oh dear I do go on. Anyhway, Happy reading!
Happy reading!

Fallen by Lauren Kate
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrik
The Immortal Series by Alyson Noel
Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare(theres a small part for Vampires, but there not the main characters of the novels.)

"Magic Parcel: The Awakening" is almost here. Have a look at the website www.frankenglish.co.uk.
Neither vampires nor any other sort of blood-sucker in sight! Lots of other action, though.

I would recommend Zoe Marriott. She's quite a new writer but her two books, The Swan Kingdom and Daughter of the Flames, are great fantasies that definitely have nothing to do with vampires!!
