Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and features lists on different bookish topics. Today's category:
Books I Read Before I Was a Blogger
I have a tendency to harp on about my old favorites, so long-time readers will certainly have heard these before. But I can never turn down the chance to proselytize about my favorite books, so here you are!
Sunshine by Robin McKinley: one of my most worn-out comfort reads
Magic Strikes by Ilona Andrews (Kate Daniels #3): probably my favorite book in one of my favorite UF series
The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay: possibly my all-time favorite book
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch (Gentleman Bastard #1): hilarious, disturbing, suspenseful, exciting. Just an amazing book.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (The Kingkiller Chronicle #1): another funny and intense fantasy
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card: a mainstay of science fiction
Mercury Falls by Robert Kroese (Mercury #1): a funny and clever story of the Apocalypse
Fever series by Karen Marie Moning: unbelievably gripping. I've never really thought of them as separate books (except when waiting for Shadowfever).
Captain's Fury by Jim Butcher (Codex Alera #4): best book of a great epic fantasy series
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling: definitely my favorite HP book
What are your old favorites?

I love all the Harry Potter books, and Goblet of Fire is AWESOME. But my favorite is definitely Prisoner of Azkaban. I just love that book, and it was the one where I realized JK Rowling had some serious plans for the whole series.
ReplyDeleteYou know what is interesting? I had a copy of Sunshine sitting on my shelf for ages unread and I donated it last year. Now I see that it is one of your go-to comfort reads and I am wishing I had not given it up. *sigh* Back on my wishlist it goes. ;)
