The Green Rider (http://www.amazon.com/Green-Rider-Kristen-Britain/dp/0886778581/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-5433181-7986410?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182040434&sr=8-2) and its sequel First Riders Call by Kristin Britian are two of my favorite fantasy-kinda books. And a third one is set to come out in November (it says July at amazon.com, but it says November at her website, so I'm going with the November date).
Also, my all time favorite fantasy series ever would be The Immortals Series (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/002-5433181-7986410?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=tamora+pierce+Immortals+series&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go) by Tamora Pierce. Its originally intended for young adults - which I was, in fact, when I first read it back in 1997 or there abouts. Since then, however, it has become an annual thing, and I have read it at least tend times over the years because I love it so much. However, there are lots of talking animals involved, so if that ain't really your thing (hey, you *said* fantasy! ;) ), you might want to look into something else.
Also, if they have it, The 10th Kingdom (http://www.amazon.com/Tenth-Kingdom-Kathryn-Wesley/dp/0007102658/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-5433181-7986410?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182040930&sr=1-2) is a good one, too. It was a mini series on NBC? back around 2000, but as with all movies, there is also a book - though whether the movie proceeded the book or a written version - which I think is better, even though there really isn't much difference between the two - came out after the mini series, is anyone's guess, but I adore both. It can been taken as kind the sequel to the original Grimm fairy tales, set 200 years later when it has been discovered that "happily ever after didn't last quite as long as we hoped". Its another one that I have read numerous times since it first came out.
I could suggest more, but I think I stop for now. :)
