My Favorite Books

I love reading. It's probably on of my favorite things to do. Like ever. 

I know I have a list of my favorite books/series/authors on the sidebar of my blog, but I want to expand on my list. I want to tell everyone why these are my favorite books. 


Harry Potter: I think everyone knows what this is.

Super fun story. This is actually one of the first book series I got into. And this is one I have re-read again and again. 

Schooled: Basically a hippie kid gets stuck at regular school and is voted in for the eighth grade president. 

This book is so funny and super cute. It's definitely for a younger audience, but this is one of the books that I have read multiple times, and that's something that I rarely do. All the kids in the school are fabulous in their own way, and even the bullies turn out to be alright in the end. 

Princess of the Midnight Ball: This book is a spin off of the 12 dancing princesses. (I did a web series on this one, and I'm working on the other books in the series)

It's a cute love story. Also it's just a fun story in general. I fell in love with all of the princesses and Galen. I loved how unique each princess is, even though there are 12 of them. It's hard to make them all different, yet, somehow, Jessica Day George pulled it off. Each princess has something different about them that makes them really easy to bring to life and characterize (at least from a director/actor's point of view). 

The Lynburn Legacy: Imaginary friend turns out to be real...and he can do magic.

This series is so cool. It's so intense at some parts, and it has some cute love stories thrown in there. I can't describe how much I loved these books when I read them. Just read them, they're the best thing that ever happened to me. Seriously. 

The Raven Boys: Guy is looking for a king from the 16oo's. Also, his friend is pretty cool.

Super intense, great plot. Lots of stuff you didn't see coming. And all that jazz. (But be careful, there is some vulgar language.) Super, super good book, and really well written. 

Falling Kingdoms: Evil king and lots of people conspiring against him.

Probably my very favorite book series I have picked up in a while. Super intense plot and really excellently written. A bunch of plot twists no one expected. And the author loves to kill people. Like, all the time. It's so fabulous. "Oh, you thought that person was important? Not anymore!"

Rick Riordan:

Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus: (Way better than the movie...) Son of the Sea God and all the jazz that happens.
It's a super fun story. It's so funny. Craziness happens. I'm the biggest fangirl there is. It's so great. The story is captivating at every turn. It's also excellently written. 

Trials of Apollo: God turned to mortal.

This book comes after the Heroes of Olympus series. So funny. And a lot of stuff happens no one was expecting. There is only one book out so far, but it's great, and super funny. Did I mention funny? Also, Connor Stoll. I feel so bad for him, but no spoilers. 

Magnus Chase: Dead kid's adventure in the afterlife.

Just like everything else by Riordan, this series is super funny. Magnus also has the best sword, like ever. I think Jack is my favorite character. Well, either him or Thor. It's great.  

(Before you ask, no I have not read the Kane Chronicles...but I'm going to. Probably.)
