A Request for Fantasy Reading Collection Advice

I am in search for a mature fantasy reader that is well-read in the genre and would enjoy reviewing a list of fantasy books I have in my queue (to be provided via email), and help prioritize reading quality based on a description of my taste and what you know is exceptional within the genre. I have other genres to read, and I now have a need to prioritize the titles that will likely work for my reading taste.

>1 SharingLife: I suspect you will have a difficult time finding someone with enough free time willing to help you. But, I can point you in the direction of a library with many of the books fantasy lovers on LibraryThing have selected as the best. (This list was compiled by Morphidae a while ago, so it might not be up to date.)

Go here: https://www.librarything.com/catalog/1001Fantasy/yourlibrary

I suggest that you view this library in Style B, and then click on the rating column so that the highest rated ones are at the top of the list. Let us know if you need more help doing this.

>2 clamairy: Thank you clamairy. I will look into this list as a tool to sort my books.

You may be able to short-cut some of this by entering them all to LT and then finding an 'Member with you books' with a high match, and seeing which titles they have rated/reviewed best. It will take a little time and may not cover all of your list, even going through a few people (there's no requirement to rate or review) - but finding someone who has similar tastes to you within a genre is a very difficult problem.

What I used to do was pick a book that I liked, look at the reviews for it, and find someone whose review I agreed with strongly; then see what other books they also rated highly.
