 | The Complete Little House Nine-Book Set by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Buy new: $36.84 / Used from: $24.95 I would check these books out over and over from the library as a child. I now own them as a grown-up and still love them to this day.

 | Harry Potter Hardcover Box Set (Books 1-6) by J. K. Rowling
Buy used from: $81.16 A late bloomer to the Harry Potter world, a friend loaned me a copy of Sorcerer's Stone on a whim and bam instant fanatic! I absolutely cannot get enough of revisiting Hogwarts. The thought of the approaching release of book 7 is bittersweet. Although I cannot wait to get my hands on it, it will be sad to say goodbye to the end of the series - until I start to re-read it again!

 | The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
Buy new: $23.75 / Used from: $8.98 I read "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" as a child in school and the others in the series as an adult. After re-reading "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" as an adult, I was actually quite surprised that we read that book in a public school with all of Lewis's Christian references. An excellent series.

 | The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $0.01 Recommended by a friend in a very "coincidental" manner (*wink*) at the most perfect timing in my life, this book really changed the way that I thought about lifes everyday events. Always helps me to put things into perspective and inspires me to pay attention to those coincidental moments that are seemingly irrelevant, but never so.

 | The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book) by Don Miguel Ruiz
Buy new: $9.32 / Used from: $0.34 A gift from a friend that I shared The Celestine Prophecy with, a refreshing read that reminds one to:
- Be Impeccable With Your Words
- Don't Take Anything Personally
- Don't Make Assumptions
- Always Do Your Best

 | The Poetry of Robert Frost: The Collected Poems, Complete and Unabridged by Robert Frost
Buy new: $26.40 / Used from: $14.07 Robert Frost... His poetry is so transportational as he brings you to the places that he writes about with his amazing imagery. Beautiful.

 | My Sister's Keeper: A Novel by Jodi Picoult
Buy new: $9.36 / Used from: $0.01 Another recommendation from a friend, and I am now a Jodi Picoult junkie! When I find an author that I love, I always want to read everything theyve ever written. Jodi Picoult is now one of those readers.
With controversial subject matters and a great writing style that includes every chapter changing to a different characters perspective, her novels are very thought provoking.

 | The Secret Language of Birthdays (reissue) by Gary Goldschneider
Buy new: $22.02 / Used from: $16.50 This is a super fun book. The authors give a 2-page astrological profile for each birthday of the year. It is eerily accurate, and a fun tool.
|
 | Twilight (Twilight, Book 1) by Stephenie Meyer
Buy new: $11.69 / Used from: $7.00 Meyers 1st in a series of a plot consisting of the coexistence of supernatural characters living amongst normal human beings. I love series so am really excited about spending more time with these characters. I cannot wait until Meyer releases her "re-write" of this one from Edward's perspective!
|
 | New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2) by Stephenie Meyer
Buy new: $11.69 / Used from: $6.00 Follow-up to "Twilight" and even more exciting. A little heartbreaking as you are torn between two different types of love and agonize with the main character over how to handle the circumstances.
|
 | The Boy Next Door by Meggin Cabot
Buy new: $10.07 / Used from: $0.01 This is a very cute book written in a very clever way. The entire book consists of email conversations between all of the various characters. It is very witty and a fun weekend kind of read.
