Today is World Book Day!
The love of reading has been a part of my life for a long, long time. I immerse myself into the world of whatever I'm reading. Sometimes, the characters are so real for me I love them, laugh with them, and cry with and for them.
In my introductory emails, you learned a little about books I grew up with. Those characters were like friends of mine. Here are the Top Three Series I've loved as an adult.
1. The Black Jewels books by Anne Bishop: This series mesmerized me from the Black Jewels Trilogy (the first three books) on. Anne Bishop writes so sensuously, almost lyrically. The brothers Daemon and Lucivar stole a part of my heart. If you've never read her books, you must.
2. The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Okay, this may seem to not fit my wheelhouse, this series is SO much fun, with characters that make you laugh out loud. Or in the case of Ranger, swoon.
3. The Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton. There are 30 books in this series. They started out as largely supernatural crime/thriller stories and slowly began to focus on the growth of the main character, Anita. Although admittedly I enjoyed the early books more, all of her books are fun, sexy, and often murderous. (I know, strange combination but it totally works. In fact, several of my book boyfriends reside here.)
What are your all-time faves?
