Twilight Series

The Twilight Series is a trilogy written by Stephenie Meyer & caused a huge sensation regarding vampires and wolves. In my opinion, it set off a huge flow of authors to write paranormal series for young adults.
The series is about hopeless love and most of the story is about 'everyday' events.
Teens flocked to this series almost as much as they did to the Harry Potter series.

All three books were made into movies, above is the one for the first books.

Mercedes Lackey Fantasy/Fiction Author

Mercedes Lackey is a phenomenal author of over 50+ books and has over a dozen series written by her. She is a fantasy/fiction author and clearly loves her work. She also does & has co-authored many books.
All of her books are stock full of elves, fairies, and creatures not seen in the natural world. Her imagination is amazing and knows no bounds. (Picasa Web Album below of some of her books covers).

Above is a link to a longer review/summary of The Hobbit if you're interested!

The Hunger Games



May the odds be ever in your favor.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games has become a recent sensation. It a tale of a girl named Katniss and an overbearing type of government. I find it to be full of social commentary in a very witty way. The story is essentially a story of survival in the beginning, but is told in a very beautiful way.
They recently made a movie for the first one.

I think it is becoming a sensation like Harry Potter. There are two more books to this trilogy, that I am presuming will be made into movies as well. They are all superb.
