Hello everyone! :) I'm almost done with Clockwork Princess and I've got a few books left on my to be read list. so I'm looking for more great books to build it up again. I'd like to get some suggestions from you guys :)

What are the top 3 books/series you just can't live without? or what are the top 3 books you've read in your life? or imagine that you're going on a long trip to a place with no books, what three books would you bring? :)

Enlighten me :D i'm open to any genre :) (well maybe not business or anything like that genre, with no story)

1. Harry Potter Series
2. Hunger Games Trilogy
3. A Song of Ice and Fire Series

Then, I can just re-read them all if I ran out of things to read. Repeat to infinity.

To recommend some out of your genre:
1. John Cleaver trilogy ( I am not a Serial Killer, Mr. Monster, I Dont Want to Kill you)
2. Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Jason Riggs
3. The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice (Interview with A Vampire, Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned)

1. The Hathaway Series by Lisa Kleypas and the Bridgerton Series by Julia Quinn (i should have this two set of series lol!) Historical Romance is my first evar love!
2. Blood of Eden Series by Julie Kagawa
3. Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales (shouldn't forget our childhood memories)

Would you believe I haven't read a single book from the Harry Potter series but I have my copies waiting on standby. I've seen all the movies the kasi w/c is probably why i wasn't in the mood to read it immediately.

Oo nga Malot, although i have fond memories sa Harry Potter series, each movie I've seen on the big screen. The very first one was with my cousin who is a hard core fan back in 2001? Before the movies came out ang mahal2x nga ng books na eto sa NBS. Among the children's book back then this was priced at 800+ most are hard covers pa. Genius talaga etong si Ms. Rowling to have created that kind of magical world for Harry Potter like Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Quidditch etc. etc.

Laila, you must read Harry Potter! :D NOW! :D
and I definitely remember Hans Christian Andersen Fairy tales from when i was small :)
I'm up for historical romance!

I read the summary of A Song of Ice and Fire series, Malot, seems like an action-packed fighting story, I'll try reading that :)
and Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, kind of hesitating on that. I know someone reading it and she says it's really scarry, hehe :) I'll abstain from that for a while :)

Thanks! :)

@mstessagray: A Song of Ice and Fire-- think about the Camelot with a dash of everything. Fantasy, romance, coming out of age, action, mystery, suspense, magic, sensuality.

Miss Peregrine's a little bit creepy pero magugustuhan mo yung twist nya sa huli. It's like a storybook for adults. Very effective yung pictures. :)
