1. Lord of the Rings series - by J. R. R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings movies have been my favorite movies ever since I was a little kid, and I've seen them all multiple times. When I was little, I was never really interested in reading the books; in fact, I don't think I even knew that the movies were based off of books. I think it's finally time I get around to reading them.
2. The Silmarillion - by J. R. R. Tolkien: This book takes place before "The Hobbit", which is the prequal to the Lord of the Rings series, and I really enjoyed "The Hobbit". This book is about the creation of the worlds and creatures of the Lord of the Rings series and "The Hobbit".
3. Thirteen Reasons Why - by Jay Asher: This is a book about a girl who committed suicide and sent tapes to all the people who contributed in her death, which sounds very intereseting to me. All the people I know that have read this book have said it was good and have recommended it to other people, and it sounds like a great book that is really emotional.
4. Before I Fall - by Lauren Oliver: We read the first chapter of this book in my English class last year, and I automatically wanted to read it, but I never got around to it because I was in the middle of reading another book and just completely forgot about this one.
5. Speak - by Laurie Halse Anderson: I had never heard of this book until this year, and I found out that this book is about a girl who gets raped, and just completely stops talking. The book is a New York Times Best-Seller, and it sounds like it is a good book.
6. The Mortal Instruments series - by Cassandra Clare: My best friend recommended this book series to me. Every time I talk to her, she constantly talks about this series and how good it is. We both like the same stuff, and this series sounds like something I would enjoy reading.
7. The Book Thief - by Markus Zusak: This book sounds really interesting and unusual. It's the only book I've heard of that has been narrated by Death. I think it's interesting when death is personified; I used to watch a TV show that would have Death in some of the episodes. I also like reading about Nazi Germany.
8. The Princess Bride - by William Golding: This is a fantasy novel, and I think that the plot of this book sounds really interesting. I would like to watch the movie version, but I don't really like watching movie versions of books without actually reading the book first.
9. 11/22/63 - by Stephen King: This book is about a time traveller who tries to prevent JFK from getting killed, which I think is interesting because I've always liked JFK and the concept of time travel. Stephen King is a great author, so I'm sure this book will be great.
10. Heavier Than Heaven - by Charles R. Cross: This is a biography of Nirvana's frontman Kurt Cobain. Nirvana is one of my favorite bands and this book includes some information that other biographies and things have not included, and I like to find out as much as I can about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain.
