Laura

Currently: “Inkheart” by Cornelia Funke

Last: The Diaries of LM Montgomery

“Austenland” by Shannon Hale

“The Mysterious Benedict Society” by Trenton Lee Stewart

“The Girl Who Could Fly”  by Victoria Forester

“Seeing Redd” Frank Beddor

“The Looking Glass Wars” Frank Beddor

“Two for the Dough” by Janet Evanovich

Top Three:

1. Anything Austen related; “Pride & Prejudice” is my all time favorite(isn’t it everyones?)

2. “Anne of Green Gables” (the set); I read all seven books at one time, and I wish they’d publish them that way, I also deeply relate to another of LM Montgomery’s books, “The Blue Castle”

3. “Harry Potter” (the set); there’s no way to choose a favorite book, it’s like choosing a favorite child to me

Alisa

Current: The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fford. Recommended by Laura.

Last: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. A young girl finds herself in a battle to the death. She makes alliances along the way but wants nothing more than to upset the plans of the government. My response to Laura’s review.

Top Three: Go ahead and laugh and mock. I don’t care. I like teen novels, so there!

1. Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. A young girl moves into a neighborhood where she befriends a werewolf and falls in love with a vampire.

2. Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling. A young boy discovers he’s a wizard and ends up battling the most evil dark wizard of all time.

3. The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. A Hobbit named Biblo Baggins finds a magical ring which gets passed on to his heir. The ring must be destroyed but evil forces are out to take it and use it to rule Middle Earth.
