1.
Fear Nothing
I have to admit it - Bobbie Holloway makes this book for me. The highly detailed characters become friends before you're three chapters in, and that is quite the acomplishment.

Odd Thomas
Odd Thomas - the protagonist of the story - is perhaps the best crafted character in literature since Elizabeth Bennet.

Breathless
This novel is finely crafted and leaves you with high hopes for the human race. If for no other reason, that is a reason to read Breathless.

4.
The Taken
Rarely does an end of the world novel fill you with as much hope as this one does. For everything that is loss, something better is gained in THE TAKEN.

One Door Away From Heaven
Laloni Klonk is a precocious 11-year-old and carries the novel on her slender shoulders with verve and aplomb. Well worth reading and leaves you smiling at the end.
