 | Little Women (Unabridged Classics) by Louisa May Alcott
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $1.11 A favorite since I could truly comprehend the story.
|
 | Angels & Demons - Movie Tie-In: A Novel by Dan Brown
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $0.84 The movie was a disaster, IMHO. The book is soooo much better and well worth the read. I love this more than The Da Vinci Code.
|
 | Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera, Book 1) by Jim Butcher
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.05 A surprising work by Jim Butcher. More magic and fantasy than his Dresden Files series. A book worth reading and getting lost in.
|
 | Academ's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 2) by Jim Butcher
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.99 Book two is even better than the first! More adventure, greater insight and a more complex plot.
|
 | Cursor's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 3) by Jim Butcher
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.39 My favorite of the series so far. There are many twists and turns in this installment. Tavi is ever more lovable and believable.
|
 | Captain's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 4) by Jim Butcher
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.31 Probably not the best in the series. Sometimes it'll feel like you're reading a Dresden File book, but the storyline it sets up for First Lord's Fury is wonderful. You can't help but wonder what is up next for Tavi and the rest!
|
 | Captive Souls by Bonnie Lea Elliott
Buy new: $26.95 / Used from: $39.98 A story that parallels the lives of Cesso and Reeves living in 1889, with Charlie and Ravens living in 1989. A gripping story of passion, betrayal, love and loss. A brilliant debut novel and the newest addition to my favorites!
|
 | Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 I prefer the non-movie cover, but Amazon only has those listed under third parties.
This does not need an introduction. A compelling love story with a minor introduction to Japanese culture.
|
 | Acheron (Dark-Hunter, Book 12) by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.45 Book 12 of the Dark-Hunter series finally drops some light on the all-powerful, ever mysterious leader of the dark-hunters. The first part of the book might be pretty hard to get through, as Kenyon does not hold back on the details of Ash's early life. The second part of the book is more in-line with the other books.
|
 | The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Buy used from: $2.94 A monster of a read! Part Dracula lore, part art history and part adventure/suspense.
|
 | The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Movie Tie-in Edition (rack) (Narnia) by C. S. Lewis

|
 | Fatal Infatuation: Almost Human by Melanie Nowak
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $11.99 It is the first book in the Almost Human Trilogy. This book starts of the story of Felicity, Cain, Ben and others. Humans and vampires interact - love, hate, lust, jealousy, anger and commaraderie are some of the emotions this book will take you through. A brilliant, self published, piece. One of my new favorites!
|
 | Lost Reflections: Almost Human by Melanie Nowak
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $11.99 Book two of the Almost Human trilogy offers a deeper look into the characters and storyline. IMHO, this was the most gut wrenching book of the three. You'll go on an "emotional rollercoaster" more than once, but you'll love every second of it!
|
 | Evolving Ecstasy: Almost Human by Melanie Nowak
Buy new: $12.99 Book three of the Almost Human trilogy. Same main characters as books one and two. There is closure offered in the storyline that you'll only get from reading this book. This is my favorite of the trilogy and the most memorable.
|
 | Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $6.41 I am listing this here for practical purposes and to give credit to the book that started my love of vampires. Interview was the precedent for the paranormal genre that produced so many loved books.
|
 | Blood and Gold (Vampire Chronicles) by Anne Rice
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 Although not the first installment of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, Blood and Gold is my favorite. Blood and Gold chronicles the life of Marius, the once protector of the King and Queen of the vampires.
|
 | The Name of the Wind (Kingkiller Chronicles, Day 1) by Patrick Rothfuss
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $6.50 Debut book for Patrick Rothfuss. This book completely took me by surprise! It is not my normal reading. A little slow in the beginning, but you certainly won't be disappointed! An epic-fantasy love for a non epic fantasy reader!
|
 | Cast in Fury (Chronicles of Elantra, Book 4) by Michelle Sagara
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $5.94 Book 4 of the Chronicles of Elantra. The continuation of a spectacular story. The plot holds up to books 1 through 3, as does the character development.

|
 | J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy new: $19.08 / Used from: $7.50 A work of art that surely does not need an introduction. Favorite parts are:

Fellowship - Tom Bombadil and lost in Lothlorien.
Two Towers - Gimli and the caves.
Return - The forging on Anduril and the scourge of the Shire.
