Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) by J. K. Rowling
Buy new: $23.09 / Used from: $1.19
I feel like I lost a friend when I finished reading this book. JK had me wrapped from the first page of Sorcerer's Stone to the thrilling end of this book. Words fail me for how excellent this book is and will continue to be for as long as I live. My children will definitely have me read this saga to them.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) by J. K. Rowling
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01
I have read this book so many times that the pages and covers are falling off.I think it sucked that the movie didn't include more of the obstacles Harry faced in the maze or Fleur meeting Bill at Hogwarts.I really liked how Rowling finally let us know about other wizarding schools, besides Hogwarts.

I need an Alpha male like Jake in my life. This was my first cowboy romance novel, loaned for ONE day by one of my best friends. It took me the same evening to read it and the next day to buy a copy myself.

MatildaMatilda by Roald Dahl
Buy new: $11.55 / Used from: $0.35
This book was the first Roald Dahl book in my life. My 3rd grade teacher had us read it. This is the book that inspired my love of reading and my devotion to the Harry Potter Septology that would come along a decade later.
The TwitsThe Twits by Roald Dahl
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $2.00
Mr.& Mrs.Twit are the quintessential representation of people who have been married too long. My mother read the first few pages and almost threw up from reading the content. Everyone knows someone or a couple like the Twits.One of the best books I've ever read.

Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.85
I have always loved the Wizard of Oz, and this book was a nice twist to the perspective we've come to know of only Dorothy's. The play was just as excellent when I saw it.

Lies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get WrongLies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong by James W. Loewen
Buy new: $11.52 / Used from: $2.96
I'm still reading this, but I read Lies My Teacher Told Me after an excerpt about Gone With The Wind was a required read for my Blacks In Film class when I was in college. This is a great book that uncovers or rather, brings to international light the cover ups of American towns and their actual history.

I love anything Berenstein Bears. My mother used to underline words in the books and my older brothers and I would have to define them. I love these stories, they always had a great moral. Never cheesy.

Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.01
Oh come ON! What kid in my school when I was in 4th grade wasn't wrapped around the series. Before there was Harry, there was R.L. captivating the minds of America's children. The cartoon Arthur calls it the Scare Your Pants Off books, but we all know it is in homage to the great R.L. Stine....before it became a TV show that is, it jumped the shark then.

Flyy GirlFlyy Girl by Omar Tyree
Buy used from: $13.85
I'm glad I read this book first so I could appreciate it in its own right. This book was flyy, the sequel after, not at all. Coldest Winter Ever would be like this character going through a complete metamorphosis. I loved this book, it was like a prequel to TCWE, in like an alternate universe sense.

I'm so glad Watterson never commercialized his characters like Garfield. It does cheapen them. I love Calvin and Hobbes. They really get me and my twisted mind.
