5) The Secret Garden.
Plus the Silmarillion.
Also: His Dark Materials, Harry Potter, everything that Tolkien ever wrote he is a deity!

Plague by C.C. Humphreys.
The Skystone by Jack Whyte
That’s really it for me.
Where the Crawdads sing;
Great, small things;
A Monster calls;
Charlotte’s Web;
Fablehaven series
I was intrigued by A Monster Calls on Goodreads and plan to read it sometime this year.
@Letina it’s a quick little read. I think I read it in one afternoon. The only book that made me ugly cry out loud (because I related to the storyline).
@Angie wow that’s a great recommendation. What about Where The Crawdads sing. It’s another I’m interesting reading.
@Letina I can’t explain how amazing or why: Where The Crawdads sing is, but run to the book store or download as soon as possible. It is worth every cent. I’m not a big book “buyer” but this is one I would buy just to have and hold. It seeps into your soul and stays. It’s very touching.
