As you can see, I love fantasy. I read all types of books--I love love dusty classics that have an air of mystery. Realist Fantasy is my absolute favorite genre. I don't limit myself to books that are for my age group--I will read picture books, teenage books, adult books, classics, myths anything really. I adore celtic legends and unknown, beaten up books that have not been read since they were first published. For me, fantasy opens up a whole new world where there is no limit to possibility. I love reading but often neglect it because of school, photography, the internet, etc.
