Books by Obert Skye

One series that I like that is both fun and funny:



These books are appropriate for older children, teens, and adults.  They will make you laugh if you have a sense of humor. 

Type of Book:  Modern Day Alternate World Fantasy Adventure
Rating:  8.5/10

Another series that I like:



These books are fun for older children, teens, and adults.  I don't know when the third book comes out.  I'll have to ask the author.  I'm not trying to brag that I know a semi-famous anonymous author, even if I do.

Type of Book:  Modern Day Fantasy
Rating:  9/10

Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes

My husband found this book recently:



This book is one of the best children's books that I have read in a long time.  It is for readers ages 8 and up.  Older children, teens, and adults will all most likely enjoy this book.  Unless they don't like fun books.

Type of Book:  Children's Fantasy Adventure
Rating:  10/10

The Mysterious Benedict Society

I read these books last year and really liked them. 



I have several nieces and nephews and at least one of my own children who are all extremely gifted, so it's fun to read about these kinds of kids having their adventures.  The content in these books is appropriate for children ages 7 or 8 and up.  The reading level is much higher, maybe about 10 and up for average kids.  Older kids, teens, and adults will also like these books.

Type of Book:  Modern Day Children's Adventure

Books by Jessica Day George

Jessica Day George is a wonderful author. 



I first read these books, and I really liked them.  They are appropriate for older children and teens.

Type of Book:  Fairytale Fantasy
Rating:  8.5/10

Then I discovered these books:



They are retold fairytales.  Really good books.

Type of Book:  Fairytale
Rating for both books:  9.5/10

And the last book that I have read of hers:



Type of Book:  Fairytale
Rating:  9/10

Books by Julie Berry

I love this author!  These books are not a series, but they are both really good.  Kind of girly, maybe really girly even.



Type of Book:  Fairytale?
Rating:  9/10

The Limit by Kristen Landon

A book that a lot more people need to read:



Of course, being a debt counselor (almost, once I finish my last few classes after I have this baby), I think that this a book that everybody should read.  It is a fun book, but it also shows how important it is for people to live within their means. 

Type of Book:  Modern Day/Slightly Futuristic Teen Adventure (What?  It could be a real category!)
Rating:  9.5/10

Fallen by Lauren Kate

Another good series:



The fourth book comes out in June.  Sometimes it would be easier to discover a series like this after all the books have been published.  Then I could read all the books together.



Type of Book:  Paranormal Romance
Rating:  8.8/10
