1. Seize the Night- Good book, I couldn't put it down, but it made me sob like a baby towards the end, this book is a part of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series, amazing series, and the very first book in the series is Fantasy Lover! I suggest reading them all from beginning to end!

2 Return to Harmony - An old favorite still makes me cry every time I read it! If you like stories about friendship you'll like this one.

3. Catcher in the Rye- I have been wanting to read this book for a long time, so when I finally got to read it I was blown away at how awesome it was. I loved it a lot, but probably won't read it again.

4. Lost Girls Vol. One - Heheh I've been wanting to read this graphic novel since I first heard about it, unfortunately to actually buy it would take a butt load of cash. It's very interesting, but heads up, it's also very pornographic!

5. Sins of the Night- Now this one was a little harder for me to get into, but once I was in there it was awesome! Somewhat nail biting.

6. Alice in Wonderland- I love Alice in Wonderland, and have done so since waaaay before Tim Burton made it popular

7. Unleash the Night Oh this one was good! I didn't have much trouble getting into it, though I was a little bogged down by the HEA in the book.

8. Collected Works of Edgar Allen Poe It's Poe there's not a lot more I can say about it. It does have my favorite tale in it "The Devil and the Belfry.

9. Memoirs of a Geisha - I enjoyed probably better than the movie. It's not perfectly accurate, but I still enjoy it.

10. Black Beauty - OHMIGAWSH!!! How do I love this book let me count the ways! Quickly if you are a parent go out and buy this book for your child right now!!!

11. Dark Side of the Moon It was good what I remember of it, I think this one I read while...ahem...inebriated

12. Cowboy Daddy, Jingle-Bell Baby DON'T JUDGE ME!!! Ok so sometimes I like fluff, plus I'm researching romance novels. So yeah, I like the plot of this plus the character evolution was good and believable.

13. Ooh, Baby! - BLEH! I had to go like my but to get the taste out of my mouth. I thought it was poorly constructed, unblievable, vulgar (and considering some of the things I've listed that's saying something! Horrible book!

14. Pet Cemetery - *sighs* I like the book, ok, but it's a very hard read for me, very hopeless and not enjoyable. You can tell King is writing from a place he very rarely taps into to. It was very rough.

15. Lost Girls Volume 2 - SMUT!!! Ok so seriously aside from the smut it is brilliant the way Moore composes and writes the story. I really like it.

16. The Dream Hunter - Not a big fan of the Dream Hunter Series, kinda meh. This book was no different.

17. Upon the Midnight Clear - Once again a dream hunter book, meh it was ok.

18. Devil May Cry -OMFG!!! I love this book so effing much!!! This helps us learn more about teh sexiness Ash

19. Dream Chaser - Meh another Dream Hunter book

20. They Call her Mrs. Doc -Ahh Janet Oake you make me laugh and cry at the same time. I love this book sooo much! It's always been a favorite of mine.

21. The Wallflower - One of the very few romance novels I credit with a pretty decent plot. Interesting and unique, and very tastefully done smut.

22. His Brother's Bride - A pretty good plot, with an interesting twist at the end plus BABIES!!!

23. The Killing Joke - I adore this Graphic Novel, of course I love Batman in general, the Joker in particular (once again I liked him before Nolan made him cool). It tells one of the many stories of the Joker's creation. Very good.

24. Acheron - Tissues will be needed for this one ladies and gentlemen, oh this book made me weep like a wee small child. So effing good but so sad, and then when you think it can't get any sadder BAM it does. Still the ending is amazing!!!

25. The Outsiders - I read this book for the first time when I was younger, and fell in love with it. It's sad but beautiful in it's own way...made me cry too
