The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde = 6/17/12

4) Author-ican Psycho (1 book)

Try a book from the author you've "given up" on - call it one more try. It can be the same series you previously found only so-so, or a totally different series by the same author. It's up to you.

5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1 book):

7) 3rd Degree (3 books):

BONUS: Bloody Mary (1 book):
Richelle Mead / Vampire Academy = 7/18/12
A series with a strong female kick-ass protagonist, something like: police detective, body builder, warrion. So for example LKH Anita Blake would work.
