A to Z April – F: Fantasy

For the letter F I’m going to choose a genre of fiction that is not actually one that I read a ton of.  There are some of my very favorite series that fit into it though, so it is worth mentioning.  The more I’m around authors and bloggers, I’ve learned that the type of fantasy […]
