Today I am honored to welcome Shelley Workinger to I'd So Rather Be Reading. Shelley is the author of the Solid series, a paranormal YA series that I just love. Click on the book titles to read my reviews of Solid (book one) and Settling (book two). I asked Shelley to tell us about her favorite books. Please join me in welcoming Shelley Workinger!
Top Ten Favorite Books

So here are my top 10 books at this moment. (I had a hard time classifying “favorite” – favorite mystery? adventure? – so I eventually went with 10 books I would happily pick up and reread right now, knowing that I probably wouldn’t move until I finished.) And, let me tell you, this list actually would’ve been different if I’d done it last week! I don’t think even time can push Peeta Mellark and Harry Potter off the pedestal I’ve put them on, but just this week I discovered a new series: the Resurrection of Magic series, which – to me – actually is “Harry Potter meets The Hunger Games.” Who knew?
I also realized when I looked over my list that I’d chosen both popular fiction and non-fiction, along with a good dose of YA, but no love stories. That really surprised me, because I love a great romance as much as the next girl. Maybe an irresistible dark horse will charge in sometime between now and the next time I do this; or maybe that future me will be looking for something different.
