My Favorite of course is the Harry Potter series. It brings back alot of great memories of time spent reading the books for the first time. Reading it a second /third/fourth... well you get the idea. And the midnight lineup for the opening night. Memories with friends and family. Hogwarts world in Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida was amazing!
One of the best vacations I've been on. .It may not be one of the best technically written book but it is a series that one can say influenced a generation and was internationally accepted. If only I could receive a Hogwarts Acceptance Letter.
The next series I really love and will always remember and re-read with fond memories. Philip Pullman: Dark Material Trilogy.
Amazon.com Review
In an epic trilogy, Philip Pullman unlocks the door to a world parallel to our own, but with a mysterious slant all its own. Dæmons and winged creatures live side by side with humans, and a mysterious entity called Dust just might have the power to unite the universes--if it isn't destroyed first. Here, the three paperback titles in Pullman's heroic fantasy series are united in one dazzling boxed set. Join Lyra, Pantalaimon, Will, and the rest as they embark on the most breathtaking, heartbreaking adventures of their lives. The fate of the universe is in their hands. The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass pit good against evil in a way no reader will ever forget. (Ages 13 and older) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Sad to say the series was not as well accepted on screen and was not as widely known as Harry Potter series therefore the meat of the series was never put onto the silver screen. I would have loved to meet Will and his Dad.
3rd Series is one of my hidden secret love. The Twilight series.. Yes you heard me... The Twilight Series
This series.. very simple text .. not as eloquently written as others but the story line is catchy and tweens love this series.. also one of those movie/book series that made quite a splash. Team Jacob all the way. Personally I like the struggle and sacrafices they make to be together ( does not have to be literally vampire vs human vs shapeshifters) It can be the struggle of two race or two culture or two economical classes. I know personally if I was ever to bring home my first love to meet my parents ( which I never did) It would be WWIII for me. To find someone that you want to fight all and overcome all to be with.. (Romeo and Juliet) is inspirational. I struggle almost on a weekly basis.. on the conviction of my love and acceptance of my own personal relationship with Mr. Leo.
This is a classic series that explores the innocence of youth and the struggle of a girl through childhood, adolescence , and adult hood. We as readers are taken through a journey of her mind and her sense of conviction in all that she does. Love Love Love this series.. (and the movie box set was also incredible)
Most Recent Obsession. George Martin : A Song of Ice and Fire: The HBO series was AMAZING!
I just finished the last of the series so far "a Dance with Dragons" soo good.. I love the writing the story line.. the fact that the author feels no loyalty as to who is gonna get killed off. If they need to go.. they need to go. What a roller coaster of emotions..! Love it! By far one of the best writers.
So .. . those are my all time favorite series so far.. There are plenty of other books and series that I enjoy but these are classics in my mind.
Below is how I feel every time I read:
