Forgotten Realms Novels

Otaku indeed. Imagine all the time and money that I must have invested to read all these books... But believe me, it was worth it. Thanks to authors like Ed Greenwood, R. A. Salvatore, Elaine Cunningham, Kate Novak, Jeff Grubb, David Cook, Troy Denning and James Lowder, the Realms have haunted my dreams and every AD&D campaign that I have created since first reading "Shadowdale", and my own avatar has settled in Silverymoon for his retirement, after traveling through Toril for a few years...

Here is the list of all the Forgotten Realms novels that I am aware of, sorted by publication date. A name between brackets in the 'own' column means that the said person has borrowed the book from me. For future releases, when only the publication year is announced, I set the pubdate to December 31st. I have included Mark Anthony's never-released "Shores of Dusk" novel, marked as "Cancelled" (see Mark's FAQ for more information about this book). Also note that the list does not include "Murder in Ravens Bluff", which was apparently also cancelled.

Don't forget to visit the Wizards of the Coast's excellent Forgotten Realms page. They do have an interesting way of renaming old series... I guess that's a marketing strategy for re-release. Elaine herself once told me in a discussion regarding the Harpers series: "Sixteen books in one subseries looks a bit daunting to the uninitiated." Good point.

I am listing only the first release for each book, but I do list the Collector's Editions. Many books have been re-released by WotC, sometimes with new cover art, new product codes, new ISBN, etc. The product codes reflect WotC's current numbering scheme, prepending "TSR" to the old TSR codes. I think a few may be wrong and are supposed to start with "WTC" instead of "TSR".

If you find any errors or omissions in this list, please tell me.
