Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik (I think) is like snowy Russian fantasy.
Then Lord of the rings, naturally.
The Hobbit
A Wizard of Earthsea 💯
A Natural History of Dragons is a light fantasy about a woman who likes dragons
Heaven Official's Blessing (Chinese fantasy, you can read it online or find the ebook on something like 1lib.sk since it was first translated by fans)
