Harry Potter 7 - The Deathly Hallows

I read this in a single 8 hour sitting. I couldn't put it down! It is truly the coup de grâce of a wonderful and very enjoyable series. I was immensely satisfied with all resolutions made, and thought she tied all the loose threads into a perfect tapestry. Small waves of melancholy still roll over me when I think that there will no longer be the tickling anticipation of waiting for "the next one"....

The Eight

Oh I can't BELIEVE I forgot to put this in here. I read this before the Harry Potters...and it is AMAZING. Gripping, historical, it's DaVinci Code meets Searching for Bobby Fischer meets Nancy Drew (but way cooler). That may be a really bad description, but this is a fantastic book. It came out in the mid-80s, and it was the precursor to all of the current Knights Templar fuss. Ironically, it sat on my shelf for years, which is a shame that I'm just reading it....I wonder what other treasures I own but haven't read!
