VPL - Books Just for You - Fantasy, Science Fiction and Paranormal eBooks

This list was created for a patron who enjoys Lois McMaster Bujold, Sharon Lee, Steve Miller, Tanya Huff, Robin McKinley, and Laurie R. King. The patron did not enjoy George R. R. Martin, Terry Brooks, Margaret Atwood, or Cormac McCarthy. The patron added "Nothing too bleak please!" The patron would like us to recommend fantasy, science fiction and paranormal in ebook format.
