Favourite Books

This is just a few (ha!) of my favourite books and series. I've listed some favourites under books that are parts of a series, but I either haven't read the other books in that series, or don't like the other books enough to class the whole series as a favourite. A more comprehensive list can be found on my Shelfari page.
