Another Favorite

Every good writer has a favorite book or three. I think that the favorite books of authors says a lot about them. Sometimes they are completely opposite of what they write and other times their favorites run in the same gene.

I tend to fall in the latter category. All of my favorite books and series fall in the fantasy/sci-fi genres. There's a good reason for what I write. I write what I know, it's that simple. My favorites tend to be wide ranging within the genre. My true favorites I tend to re-read at the very least once a year. These are ones that I've listed below. I don't really have an all time favorite but there would a close tie among the first three.  

Polgara: The Sorceress by Daivd & Leigh Eddings

It's a book that is added in to a series but I first read it as a stand alone. It's really great and I love the strong sarcastic heroine. Well written with just enough humor and a good pace, it's one of my top three. 

To Say Nothing About the Dog by Connie Willis

A great time travel read, the first I think, by Connie Willis. Dry British humor with great imagery and well researched historical details really makes this an easy read for me.

Dragon Singer Trilogy by Anne McCaffery This trilogy I could read over and over. A plucky female heroine, dragons, and music. They are short reads but I always pick up something new when reading.

Other Favorites:

Tiger and Del Series by Jennifer Roberson
I loved these books and will still read them time to time.

The Chronicles of Elantra by Michelle Sagara
A still running series with a bit of mystery, magic, and romance woven in. Super great and I watch like a hawk for the next release.
