I am the biggest book nerd there is.=) I absolutely love reading. My favorite genres are science fiction/fantasy and paranormal, and historical fiction to name a few. But of course I'm always game for a great book. I'm always open to suggestions!

The Divine Series by P.C. Cast
HOLY HELL!!!! I absolutely was entranced with these books. This was a series that I read all 4 books within a week. Now, with working at a school with a 5 year old in kindergarten and a 16 month old, thats saying a lot!!! This series has also had me looking for any other book by P.C. Cast. I had already read her House of Night series and that was pretty good. But this was even better. It is pure fantasy romance with some adventure mixed in. This is also a book though that if I started to tell you completely what it is about, you'll think I'm a nut and a freak. So I'll try and do my best without sounding like that! Shannon Parker is a single high school english teacher in her 30s who lives near Tulsa Oklahoma. She decides to go out in the middle of nowhere to an estate sale to look for some treasures that she likes to collect for her home and her classroom. Thats where she finds an ancient looking urn that has a picture of the Goddess of Equine on it(Goddess of Horses) that looks EXACTLY like her. The picture if has an exact scar that mirrors her own. She's oddly drawn to the urn and she can't explain why. Well, mysteriously it ends up in her posession and she is on her way home when a horrible storm hits, she has a bad accident and she blacks out. When she comes to, she's in the world of Parthalon, a world that mysteriously has mirror images of people that she knew from back home in Oklahoma. She is switched with her mirror image, Rhiannon, who is that Goddess incarnate of Epona. Apparently she was known as a raging bitch in Parthalon who slept with anyone that well, you know....Shannon instantly meets a mirror image of her best friend who in Parthalon is her maidservant Alanna. She quickly finds out that Rhiannon was fleeing her handfasting ceremony to the centaur Shaman Clanfinton and a Fomorian invasion. (The fomorians where horrible creatures reminiscent of vampires with wings). But she ends up falling in love with Clanfinton and completely changing Parthalon. I've already typed too much, but you get the beginning drift. My favorite book was the first one, Divine by mistake. It was GREAT. The following two were ok, but nowhere near the first. Then the prequel was also up there with the first one, but it was WAY short. I wished it could've gone on. But needless to say I would DEFINTELY read this series if you like fantasy and romance. BEST series I've read since The Immortal Instrument Series or the Hunger Games!!!! Reader be aware, these are more for adults..... very happy reading on this series!!
