100 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books and Series I've Loved

These are 100 of my favourite fantasy or sci fi (or both!) books, series, or graphic novels. I spent seven years running the SFF section in a large bookshop, so my tastes skew towards books published in the UK in 2011-18. Fewer "classics" than you would expect. I have tried to include books from around the world but there is definitely an Anglocentric skew.
