Best Fantasy That Could Stand Alone, but Doesn't (Call For Recs and Secs)

Reminder: After this post I am going on vacation for a week and a day (and Labor Day too). My trip got cancelled, but I'm still taking a staycation and I'm going to be doing a lot of lower-key admin stuff behind the scenes. However, one thing I will keep going, so that there are SOME posts going up, is our book recommendation. 

I'll be dropping the original page rerun over on WAW's Facebook page but for everyone else, here is a quick update post. If you haven't yet, please don't forget to pop over to the original page to drop that nomination, see what has been nominated already, second (all) those you agree with, as well as brush up on the rules—there are a FEW after all.

So much like our similar Sci-Fi poll, when we called for best stand-alone books, we got a bunch of books that WEREN'T stand-alone. So now is your chance to specifically do a book recommendation for all the books that had sequels but didn't really need them or were part of a series but could have (and maybe should have) stood alone.

Again, please remember to go to the original page to drop your nomination (and familiarize yourself with the rules if you haven't yet). If you put it anywhere else (including a Facebook comment on this post) it will not be counted.

Thank you all for joining in our Book Rec Conversation. I've really love reading all your comments about the books you treasure and why.
