These are some of my favorite series. Keep in mind that some of them are adult and will contain adult content, I will put a warning star next to any adult books. No, I am not trying to corrupt todays youth, but some people are more mature than others. If you want the summaries of these books or have any questions then email me at kellymossad@yahoo.com as that is now my more used account. You can look at my opinion of recently read books at my blog: http://ericnorthmanxsookie.tumblr.com/ Happy reading!

I am almost finished with the book "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothvus. It's one of the best fantasy novels I have read in a long, long time and I would highly recommend it. Also, anything by Neil Gaiman - my favorite is "Anansi Boys" which I saw that someone else already recommended.
