This was the series that seriously got me reading fantasy and thinking about writing. I would guess that I have read the series over 100 times, I have had to re-buy the books at least 4 or 5 times.<br /><br />Rachael- I LOVE Magician, I just bought it in hardcover.

Hunger Games too!<br /><br />Colene- HP is a great choice- you've always talked about how it has influenced and impacted you and your writing.<br /><br />Sarah- I'm pretty sure I've read From the Mixed Up Files...I need to go back and look at them.<br /><br />Library Gal- I never thought of contacting him. Maybe I'll make it my reward for if I get published lol. Although I just friend-requested him on facebook ;p<br /><br />Jess- Oh yes, loved Wicked (of course). I just had an image of you on a pile of books wearing a scrooge outfit.

Sedaris, Hiassen, King, Yep I would be on a big old pile of books...kind of like Scrooge and his pile of money :) But I think Harry Potter would be my pick because of how it turned so many adults into reading after a lifetime of never picking up a book....Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834283692288715813.post-20842284035614929812010-11-08T18:11:40.487-06:002010-11-08T18:11:40.487-06:00I would pick From the Mixed up Files of Mrs Basil ...I would pick From the Mixed up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankweiler-my alltime favorite book I read as a child.

If I were to look at the top shelf of my bookcase where my most treasured books go;it's lined with the Harry Potter Series/the Hunger Games Series/and The Twilight Series. All books that haved moved me or changed me in some way. If possible I'd like to hold my favourite from each of the series. Number 3 & 7 from HP, Hunger Games and Twilight.<br /><br />Abby-Have you ever contacted Garth Nix and let him know what Sabriel means to you? I bet he would love to hear it. :)Library Gal @Lost in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06919750239433212579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834283692288715813.post-1415888870715778632010-11-08T15:06:13.894-06:002010-11-08T15:06:13.894-06:00I'm with Colene, Harry Potter would definitely...I'm with Colene, Harry Potter would definitely be on my list.

I loved these books! <br /><br />I want to say I bought it for my mom from the book bus in 5th grade and ended up stealing it for myself after it sat on her bookcase untouched for weeks!
