I love horror, so one of my favorite book series is Stephen King's Dark Tower series. It's amazing, and there's not a gorefest by any stretch of the imagination - more than anything, it's a strange fantasy tale. Thanks for sharing your favorites!B.

A Year in Provence is one of my most favorite books ever. I read The Lovely Bones in one day and not a day has gone by since that I don't think of that haunting story. And Audrey Niffenegger -- what a genius! Did you read that The Time Traveller's Wife was turned down by more than 20 publishers before finally being picked up? I'm grateful for success stories like hers, aren't you?<br /><br />Enjoy the rain (my favorite weather :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.com
