Bel's Favourite Fantasy & Sci-Fi Books - So Far

Those are my favourites: both fantasy and sci fi novels, old and new ones, series and standalones.
I know there are many more books that just wait to be read - for those I will create a 'to read' list.
You're welcome to suggest books I haven't read yet in the comments :)
