These are a few of my favorite things...

Harry Potter- the books, the movies, the world- and basically all of the franchise
Leverage, Bones, Lie to Me, and Castle
The Vlogbrothers and Nerdfighteria xD DFTBA!
Hunger Games- the AMAZING trilogy
Maximum Ride- the EPIC books!!!
Divergent- a SPECTACULAR dystopian novel ... I absolutely TORE through this book.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho- A really thought-provoking, beautifully written book about life
Night by Elie Wiesel- A heart-wrenching, emotional, nonfiction account of the Holocaust written by a survivor with a lesson that will remain with you forever.
The Giver by Lois Lowry- An AMAZING dystopia sci-fi novel
I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak- This was a MARVELOUS book, with SO much meaning to it, it's incredible. It gives you an impossible-to-put-down storyline, and it also teaches you a very important, inspirational message about life. It's a perfect blend of mystery, romance, and realistic fiction. BRILLIANT! I read it in a day. :)
The Tension of Opposites by Kristina McBride- I was completely attached to it, and there was absolutely no way anyone could tear me away from it. The characters are real, the plot is catchy, and I felt like I was actually in the story- and reading it was such an exhilarating experience!
Animal Farm by George Orwell- a brilliant dystopian novel.
Distant Waves by Suzanne Weyn- An elegant Titanic romance
Blue Aspen by Tenaya Jayne- A beautiful combination of fantasy, awesomeness, and romance.
