I think, at some point, I stopped counting all the general fantasy that I read, so this isn’t a complete list. At any rate, I’m more than happy that Carl’s still giving me an excuse (although I don’t really need one) to clear out my fantasy lists every spring. This is what I read:

Fantasy:
Grave Mercy, Robin LaFevers The Floating Islands, by Rachel Neumeier
Huntress, by Malinda Lo
Hex Hall, by Rachel Hawkins
Castle in the Air, by Diana Wynne Jones
Demonglass, by Rachel Hawkins
Spell Bound, by Rachel Hawkins
Girl of Fire and Thorns, by Rae Carson
Dealing with Dragons, by Patricia Wreade
Searching for Dragons, by Patricia Wreade

My favorites for these were Grave Mercy (of course; though I haven’t been able to find a person to sell it to at the store, which depresses me greatly) and the Hex Hall series.

Mythology:
Ilium by Dan Simmons.
The Lost Code, by Kevin Emerson
The Serpent’s Shadow, by Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan wins, every time. Though I did like The Lost Code, too. Ilium, not so much.

Folklore:
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

Fairy Tales:
Cinder, by Marissa Meyer.
Fables: book one, by Bill Willingham

I’m glad I read both, because I really enjoyed Fables and I’m glad I know what Cinder’s about now. 

What were your favorites?
