If you like dystopian novels, you should try Unwind by Neal Shusterman. It's super awesome.

 

He's who I came here to talk about. He's really awesome, and I think his Skinjacker Trilogy is my favorite, and his books are just, ugh amazing. His style makes me think of Stephen King.

I've recently read I am J by Cris Beam and Ash by Malinda Lo. Both are wonderful books and are very much worth reading. (:

[DrangonGirl_92]

So, I am in a book called "Secret Vampire" and so far I find it very interesting.

But, mostly, I am involved in books with mystery, fiction or fact, vamps, wolves, love, romance, lust, etc...

blah blah blah and all that good stuff

[Quinney]

I'm getting into the Psy/Changeling series.

 

Wolves, Jaguars and well, something like The Borg (Dr. Who fans will know) falling in love, basically.

[Dirtytabs]

At the moment, The Onion Book of Known Knowledge. Novels? Pah!

[Ramica]

-The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings - Tolkien.

-The Narnia series - C.S Lewis

-Discworld Series - Terry Prachett

-The Dragon Rider of Pern Series - Anne McCafferey

-A song of Fire and Ice - Game of thrones series - George Martin

True Crime stories -Ann Rule is my favourite author here.

 

 

 

 

[tyto_alba]

Recently read Boy meets Boy by David Levithan. I'm also currently reading Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden. Both are very good and worth checking out if you like LGBTQ books or if you're just interested in a good read.

[PinkSkylaa]

Hmmmmmm how to narrow then down!

 

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

 

~ Dragons of Purn Books

~ Heracey & Profecy (Tudor Books)

~ Hunger Games Trilogy

~ The Morganville Vampire books (Glass House, Mignight Alley, ect)

~ Skulduggery Pleasant series

~ LOTR's Trilogy (plus The Hobbit & The Silmarillion)

~ Harry Potter ~ of course

 

Oh my so many good ones I think think

 

[PhoenixStarr]

I will forever adore Jane Austen novels. Perfect prose, perfect pacing, extrordinarily well-wrought characters, engaging plots, what more could a bibliophile desire? I make a point to read Pride and Prejudice at least once a year, and her other works are on a two year rotation. (I take my favourite books seriously)

[sparkdragon]

- Mistborn trilogy, Warbreaker and The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

- Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

- Harry Potter, 1-4 especially, by JK Rowling (as we all know)

- Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman; and Gaiman's Neverwhere

- Deathstalker series by Simon R Green

- Pern, Talent and Crystal Singer universe books by Anne McCaffrey

- Hobbit and Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien (read all these before the movies x3)

- The Immortals series by Tamora Pierce

 

In a metaphorical fire, I'd save these first (In an actual fire, I'll just run.)

[Quinney]

Howl's Moving Castle.

 

I read it when I saw a couple of friends on another forum give it a glowing report.

 

It's a trilogy, and I've downloaded the next two onto my Kindle. I do a lot of my reading backwards and forwards to work on the bus.

 

 

[Voardrem]

Strands of Starlight Tetralogy by Gael Baudino, hands down.

 

for Manga, Othello, by Satomi Ikezawa.

[Switch]

Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

[happyseagull]

All of the ones I listed before besides Fablehaven and these:

 

-The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins

-Legend and Prodigy by Marie Lu

-The Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth

-The Inkheart Trilogy by Cornelia Funke

-Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan

-Maximum Ride by James Patterson

-Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage

-Reckless and Fearless by Cornelia Funke

 

There might be a few others, but I can't think of them right now.

[catstaff]

Strands of Starlight Tetralogy by Gael Baudino, hands down.

Wow, you're about the only person I know besides the ex who introduced me to her books who's read Gael Baudino. Given my age and my musical tastes, Gossamer Axe is my favorite of hers.

 

Other favorites... pretty much anything I've read by Mercedes Lackey... the Valdemar books, the Elemental Masters books, the Dragon Jousters books, along with a couple others. Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses, and The Mammoth Hunters by Jean M. Auel and I think it's a shame how the series went downhill after that. Books 4 and 5 were passable, but book 6 was a waste of paper, as well as a waste of my reading time. For unashamedly "mature" reading, Bertrice Small's Pleasures series, and for when I want to revisit my childhood I like Heidi, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. Since I'm in the SCA, Murder at the War by Mary Monica Pulver is a sentimental favorite, but my favorite mysteries are the Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters.

 

...and I just realized that I've got over a hundred favorites mentioned here, and that's not even all of the books I re-read on a regular basis. *facepalms* Guess it would be easier to ask me what books I dislike, lol, the list would be a LOT shorter!

[Nectaris]

My favorites:

 

- Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams

- The Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson *series*

- Temeraire by Naomi Novik *series*

- The Noble Dead by Barb & J.C. Hendee *Series*

- Discworld by Terry Pratchett *series*

- Xanth by Piers Anthony *series*

 

These are just some off the top of my head, there are others I like, I just can't think of them at the moment.
