I can't pick five favs. I read so many books by so many authors in so many series, that there is no way for me to pick. I love Robert Jordan and his Wheel of Time series, and Laurell K. Hamilton and her Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. Terry Goodkind and his Sword of Truth series is good, but Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings was better. Feehan, Rice, and so many more, how can a girl choose?

Hmmm... I don't think I can narrow it down to just 5 books, but I'll try my best!

Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
The Stone Angel - Jane Urquheart
Angels and Demons - Dan Brown
The Princess Bride - (I forget....lol)

The Harry Potter series
White Oleander - (I forget...
