Brooke, Odd Thomas is great and I also love Koontz Frankenstein series. Koontz has this very odd sense of humor and he displays that in his books.

message 43: by Chels (new)

Chels (xeevee) | 6 comments I don't even want to attempt this!! Sounds like the most difficult thing to do. I have to ONLY PICK 5 Of my favorite books?!!? I think i'd have an easier time sawing my arm off. ;P

not but seriously,

1. Harry Potter Boxset (you didn't expect me to just pick one of these books, did you? That is an entirely different list there. )

2. The Time Traveler's Wife Just really stuck with me when i read it. :)

3.The Book Thief

4. The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxset (though I can say the third book left me a little high and dry if you know what I mean. Also horrible epilogue. But i still loved the whole series too much to leave it out.)

Poo, ok last one.... *brow starts sweating* Oh the pressureeee!

5. Sookie Stackhouse 8 Volume Set (True Blood Books.)
Though her last few in the series.... Are starting to get a littttle silly. If you know what I mean. This was a toss up. I could of probably put about 10 other books here too.

:) Whew, that was tough. Was going to say The Game of thrones books, but i'm not quite finished yet (holding out for the show. Which i've never done in my life...haha) so I want to wait until i read all of them.

Happy Reading! ^_^
