I have a way to go till 21, I think I have #14 at home, which is the next one I need to read! Just got out of my reading phase and never went back to it! They were always really funny and I enjoyed them. It will be a cinch to finish this series for sure! :)

Sandra (sanlema) | 11261 comments Good list, Melissa. I'm starting Outlander series too, and I was planning to reread the Lord of the Rings series next summer. I read it 20 years ago. My kids are reading The Hobbit now, and I feel like to come back to the Middle Earth and take a look... just to see if everything is as I left it last time... :) I loved those series.

I really enjoy the Outlander series, overall. I love the characters and that's what keeps me going, though sometimes there are just huge gaps of time between reading them! :)
I read the Hobbit a couple months ago and really liked it and thought it was an easy read, but I've heard Lord of the Rings is intense?! Nothing I can't handle??!?! hehe

Almeta (menfrommarrs) | 11457 comments The Lord of the Rings series is the only book reading experience where I actually called in sick to work, so that I could continue reading!☻

p.s Don't tell my boss.
