Books I Lurve Very Much

Oooh, there's just too many to count...but my top 2 favourites of all time are:

New e-Book cover
 Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
(collectively known as the Ender Saga)

Genre: Science fiction

Best. Series. Ever. It surprises me that the whole world doesn't know about the Ender Saga. Earth is preparing for war against an alien invasion. The world's best minds, child geniuses, that are sent up to space, on an asteroid called Battle School. They are tested for brilliance, ambition, and leadership, and trained to fight as commanders over armies in null gravity. It's an extremely intelligent book that explores human nature at the deepest level.



The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Genre: Romance

It's a book about one man with the ability to time travel, but at its essence, it's a book about love that transcends time.
Clare has known Henry all her life - he is a time traveler who befriended her during her childhood (with all decency, of course).
Henry is a man with a genetic disorder that uproots him from the now, and puts him somewhere in the past or future. Naked. He can return to meet his mother, who died when he was young. Sometimes, he even meets himself.
Warning: Quite a lot of …ah…s-e-x scenes, and language.


Other favourites (in no particular order):


• Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead

• Harry Potter by JK Rowling (of course)

• Looking for Alibrandi, Finnikin of the Rock, both by Melina Marchetta

• Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter

• Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz

• Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

• Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones


I'm always interested to hear what people like to read over and over again. So...what are some books that you like?
