Lorre... I completely understand... I have been reading PNR & UF for a long time and believe me... It just keeps getting harder and harder to narrow it down... I find new series all the time and just blown away!!

I just finished Brighid's Quest and have been wondering if there will be a 3rd book, not ready for it to be over!
As for the top 5, super hard choice, think I have to go with series, not in order:
1. Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
2. Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
3. Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice
4. Outlander by Dianne Gabaldon
5. Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind
So hard to pick only 5 but those are definitely some of my favs!

Hi Laura,
I know what you mean, but I know a few people that have read them. Those are the only PC Cast books I've read and I LOVE them, especially Brighid's Quest. They were some of the first books I'd read after not reading for years and after I was ready to move on from Twilight. Lol.
Would love to chat about them...love to re-read them. And would really love for her to write a new one! ;)

Must add: I listed series for the most part, but I can't believe I missed Creatura by Nely Cab and EVERYTHING by Samantha Young, especially Slumber and the Lunarmorte trilogy. I also really loved Fifty Shades.
*Bri...PC has said she may write another. She gets a ton of requests. I'm not ready for it to be over ever. ;)

Okay, Here goes *deep breath:\
Jane Austen:Pride and Prejudice "Will you pollute the shades of Pemberley?"
Robin McKinley: Sunshine "I didn't hear them coming. But you don't do you, when they're vampires."
Stephen King: Wizard and the Glass "Bird and bear and hare and fish, give my love her fondest wish."
Tanya Huff: The entire Summon the Keeper series (Okay I cheated) "When you two are done with your blatant display of heterosexuality, I'll be in the kitchen."
Tanya Huff: Smoke and Series "Damn, maybe it IS my ass."
