The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings is a 3 book series written by J. R. R. Tolkien. There is another book called the Hobbit that came before the 3 books, but was not included within the series.
The Lord of the Rings books are fantasy novels all based around the power of a select few rings. Magic abounds in this fictional land and there is every type of fantasy creature to be found. Elves, dwarves, wizards, orks, humans, and many more. The series is based on a quest undertaken by a "fellowship" of all these races.
This series was such a sensation that high quality movies were made about them. Each movie is an incredibly long length, at least three hours long, if not more. All three movies have been made and here is a trailer from the last one.

The #1 Series in THE WORLD

I think the true #1 Series of this upcoming generation can easily be awarded to J.K. Rowling & all seven Harry Potter books. It is a Fantasy series about a magical young boy who discovers the world by finding out he is a wizard and accomplishing feats most wizards & witches thought impossible. It it truly a series about finding yourself and discovering what you are capable of.
The series includes many main characters & J.K. Rowling does an incredible job of sharing their whole stories as well. The books were such a sensation that all 7 books were made into movies, & just this past fall (fall 2011) the last movie of the series was made, & here is the trailer for it.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is truly a Magical Place. There is currently an amusement park in Orlando, Florida based off of the books. I bet many Harry Potter lovers visit with gusto.

Welcome to Books Are Best!

Hello everyone, my name is Marissa and I will be sharing my love of books and telling you all why they are so amazing.

I will specifically be focusing on various series such as Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. I will include clips from movies as well. Hopefully I will win more people over to them that way.

I will NOT be ruining the content of any of these books though. Just enough to pique your interest and hopefully make you go out and read it.

Happy February.
