Fantasy Novels Being Read by my Students

 On the first day of ENGL 378: Fantasy Fiction, I asked students to name their three favorite fantasy books. Wonderfully, many of them actually had three favorites. We had 30 students overall, so I tallied up the results, including the few who couldn't resist naming videos games or movies.

After that there's a significant drop-off, but several books had multiple votes, including Brandon Sanderson, George R. R. Martin, and Sarah J. Maas. 

Without further ado, here are the results:
