This is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. I've seen it for the last couple months on Gripped into Books, and I thought this week I would join! I might even do last weeks, just because I like it. I'll post date it if I do...
The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien - I loved these the first time I read them. And the second. They are riveting, funny, astonishing... everything good in a book is in these. I almost just want to stop my list here, with the first one. These are amazing books.
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers - This is the ultimate in Christian romance novels. The ultimate. I cried so much, both tears of frustration and joy. The characters are loveable and broken... this is Francine Rivers' ultimate best book.
The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis - This is my favorite book from the Chronicles of Narnia... maybe tied with The Horse and His Boy, but its so close. I love the story that begins the amazing place that is Narnia!
Rivers of Gold by Tracie Peterson - Okay, honestly I didn't like this series a whole lot {the author left something to be desired in her writing style}. But I loved this book. I love the female lead in it. She's so charming and innocent, and she finds such a wonderful man!
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling - Its amazing. It just is. Read it.
Goddess of Spring by P.C. Cast - Persephone and Hades. And the picture she paints of the Underworld? Beautiful. {Didn't think you'd read that in a description, did you?} The House of Night books aren't the best, but I think that can be blamed on the two different writers and writing styles that go into it.
A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks - Yes, its sad. We all know how it ends, too. Buts its SO good!
Magnus by Sigmund Brower - One of the first novels I read just because I wanted to. Its wonderful historical fiction. I haven't read it in probably around five years, but I've had it in my bookshelf for about thirteen! And I would say I read it about 10 times in the first five years.
Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev - The third book came out last week in this series, and I want to reread the whole thing, but this book especially. Its so whimsical and charming.
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld - This book is one of a kind. Westerfeld is a brilliant writer {I started reading his Midnighters trilogy, and its good}.
