One story that has totally stuck with me is Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey trilogy.

I was so emotionally drained after reading that book. I told Kim that in a signing I went too but I did stick with the series. I just had to take a break. It was the first book to do that to me so bad.<br />Glimmer sounds like a very good read.

One of the...I have had quite a few over the years. One of the perils of being a voracious reader! I sometimes have flashbacks to favorites and I must then go back and revisit the scene. For instance, in Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon, when Soteria assumes Acheron has led a charmed life and he then sets her straight. Or in Hot Target by Suzanne Brockmann, almost any scene with Jules and Robin. As far as whole books go, I rarely do full re-reads. I just don't have time with all of the books out there I have never read. That being said, I did nearly a full re-read of Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey. I sat down to revisit specific scenes and found myself drawn back in. The writing is just so... I don't even have a word for it.Jen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04737375224830943067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-75291973594491820302011-03-30T08:38:12.057-04:002011-03-30T08:38:12.057-04:00Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
