Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
	Adena, January 01, 2013 I loved this book so much I read it twice in 6 weeks! I recommend it to everyone I can find! It was, without question, the best book I read in 2012. Possibly the best book I've read in a decade! Thank you, Ernest Cline!!

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
	Adena, August 24, 2012 I am reading this book for the second time in six weeks! It is phenomenal! If you ever played Dungeons & Dragons, went to the video arcade, or loved '80s movies such as Breakfast Club, WarGames, or Blade Runner, you will LOVE this book! Go get it!!

Passage by Justin Cronin
	Adena, April 26, 2012 Holy crap. This book was heartbreaking and stunningly beautiful. I became obsessed and was much sleep-deprived. One of the best books I've ever read.

A Discovery of Witches: All Souls 1 by Deborah Harkness
	Adena, January 26, 2012 I could NOT put this book down! What's great about this book is not just the witches and vampires and demons. It's about family and loyalty and staying true to who you are - no matter what. Love it!

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende
	Adena, September 03, 2011 One of the best books I have ever read. So much heart, imagination, and creativity. It speaks to the hero in all of us even if we don't always know he/she is there.

Guardians Of Gahoole 01 Capture by Kathryn Lasky
	Adena, September 20, 2010 I decided to get this because the movie is coming out this week. I read it in about 2 hours. It was absolutely compelling and wonderful. I am very much looking forward to 1) the movie and 2) the rest of the series!

Eyre Affair Thursday Next 01 by Jasper Fforde
	Adena, March 22, 2010 Delightfully clever and highly entertaining! It made me want to go back and read "Jane Eyre" again because I'm sure that I missed something. Fforde does it again!
