Next, what are your favourite books/series written by your favourite authors? Top 5
1. Darren O' Shaughnessy: Cirque Du Freak Series - This was a very hard choice because all of his series' are great but I just have too many memories with Cirque Du Freak and I think it may very well be my favourite series of all time!
2. Pseudonymous Bosch: The Secret Series - Once again, I have re-read this YA series 3 times over! All three times I read them back to back in a matter of 2 nights! Just goes to show how much I love this series.
3. Johnathon Stroud: The Bartimaeus Trilogy - This was a very captivating, suspenseful, and such an enjoyable series. I loved every page of it!
4. Emily Rodda: Deltora Quest - Sure there are so many more fantasy books that are better than this (matter of opinion), but for a series aimed at such a young audience, it was a rather spectacular series. I loved every bit of it and the plot, characters, villains were just amazing.
5. J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter - Ah, the infamous Harry Potter Series... While I could have easily picked 10 more authors/series' just as great, I grew up with Harry Potter! I waited years and years for each novel to come out! J.K. Rowling is a brilliant author with a fantastic story. No words can explain my love for this series (or any other of my top 5 for that matter)
