How do you choose favorites?  What makes a series stand out to you? I can’t imagine having to choose one favorite author or one favorite series.  We are truly blessed to have a dizzying variety of books to read, and so many talented authors who bring continually bring unique and thoroughly entertaining works for us to enjoy.  Here are some of my all-time favorites- please share yours!

Harry Potter Series by: J.K. Rowling

If you were living under a rock, I think it is still possible that you would have heard of the worldwide phenomena created by this series.  Fantastic story.  The world created by J.K. Rowling in a word- magical.  Huge fan base due to this series appealing to wide age range.  If you have not read it, I urge you to do so.

Chronicles of Narnia  By: C.S. Lewis

These books have been some of my favorites since childhood.  One of my goals is to read them again this year.

The Saxon Stories  By: Bernard Cornwell

Have I mentioned I love historical fiction?  I am a huge Bernard Cornwell fan, and his main character in this series- Uhtred- is one of my favorite characters of all time.

Sookie Stackhouse Series  By: Charlaine Harris

There was no way I was going to get through this post without throwing in some vampire books.  They are my favorite niche.  Funny, creative, and romantic- nice light reading.

Myron Bolitar Series  By: Harlan Coben

I love a good mystery, and throw in some humor and witty conversation- and a character named Myron- and you have struck GOLD.  I own most of these books, love to read them over and over.

I hope I have inspired you to get out there and pick some of these up.  Happy Reading!
