 | Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 This book has well drawn characters and the romance between them is unique. All the books in the series are good - except I had a little trouble with The Fiery Cross.

 | The Belgariad, Vol. 1 (Books 1-3): Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit by David Eddings
Buy new: $12.21 / Used from: $3.44 Eddings characters are funny, interesting, and familiar. The plot is not totally unique but those readers that enjoy "quests" will find this a worthwhile read.

 | The Malloreon, Vol. 1 (Books 1-3): Guardians of the West, King of the Murgos, Demon Lord of Karanda by David Eddings
Buy new: $12.89 / Used from: $7.75 David Eddings adds more to the story of The Belgariad and continues on a new quest between good and evil. Many characters are the same as in The Belgariad and he introduces some new characters on this quest. I found both series very readable and exciting.

 | Kiss of the Highlander (The Highlander Series, Book 4) by Karen Marie Moning
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.65 Good trashy time travel romance. Not as good as Outlander but definately good if you want to get a trashy romance novel for the beach or if you're stuck in an airport. Fast and easy.
|
 | Son of the Morning by Linda Howard
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 A little different twist on this romance novel. The present day main character has to go underground after her husband's murder and finds love with a 14th century Knight to protect a secret power and to avenge her husband's death.

 | Nature Girl by Carl Hiaasen
Buy used from: $0.01 This is not your ordinary Whodunit. Carl Hiaasen uses not so perfect characters in interesting situations. The book is fast paced and oddly funny.
|
 | Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
Buy new: $9.74 / Used from: $0.99 A witty, sharp and funny book. I laughed outloud many times. The book can be funny and uncomfortable at the same time.

 | The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Buy used from: $3.53 I read this in high school and enjoy the book still today.
|
 | A Taste for Death (Adam Dalgliesh Mysteries, No. 7) by P.D. James
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $0.75 Adam Dalgliesh is one of my alltime favorite detectives. He is smart and sophisticated. P.D. James makes him a memorable character. Her plots are interesting and surprising. A classic mystery.

 | Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1) by Christopher Paolini
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 Christopher Paolini draws from his favorite fantasy novels and created his own story and characters. Typically a teen novel, I still enjoyed reading it. I especially like the relationship between Eragon and Saphira the Dragon. I'm a sucker for quests and this book fulfilled my needs. A good rainy day weekend read.
|
 | Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly
Buy used from: $0.01 This book is about a quest to kill a dragon. The ending is surprising.
