What's the Best Novel You've Ever Read?

Welcome to midweek, everyone! People are always asking me what my favorite book is, or what I am reading, so now I'm turning it around! I'm wondering what YOUR fav read is, and/or what you're reading right now.
Let me know!

Oh, and here's a shameless plug for this blog! Would y'all ask friends to follow? I would love to get a BIG friendly group together and chat about novels, the weather, the rising cost of Hagen Daas, or whatever! Thanks, and have a magical day!

Wow, that's like asking me what my favorite song is; it changes depending on my mood and the month. :)
I'm looking for a new read now.

I know! That's why it's such a hard question for me to answer too!

I asked my Facebook friends also and they've suggested a few really good ones..."Heart of Darkness" (Joseph Conrad) and "Snow Falling on Cedars" (David Guterson), and--if someone were holding a gun to my head and insisting I come up with an answer--the one I would choose...Pride & Prejudice.

Book #1 Lor Mandela - Destruction from Twins

Through the selfish acts of twin enchantress, the world of Lor Mandela is sentenced to its untimely death. Only one can save it--the appointed Child of Balance, Audril Borloc. All hope seems lost, however, when shortly after her fourth birthday, Audril disappears without a trace. Audril Borloc must be found! When a group of Lor Mandelan spies travel to Earth in search of the little girl with black hair and bright blue eyes--traits that on Lor Mandela are exclusive to the ruling Borloc family--they instead find sixteen-year-old Maggie Baker. While the age difference between the girls is obvious, Maggie has the Borloc traits--evidence enough for the desperate spies. Suddenly, Maggie's mundane existence is transformed into a thrill ride of twists and turns as she begins bouncing back and forth between her hometown of Glenhill, Iowa, and the strange and diverse lands of Lor Mandela. Amid battling a ferocious two-headed beast, being abducted by a lawless clan of Shadow Dwellers, and falling head-over-heels for the son of an evil warlord, Maggie soon discovers that her blase reality could be the REAL fantasy, and that the fate of Lor Mandela may depend entirely on her.

Book # 2, "Lor Mandela - Four Hundred Days", Now AVAILABLE!

When Audril, the heiress to the Lor Mandelan throne, sneaks away to Earth to save one of her dearest friends, she finds that a power hungry tyrant from her own world has begun systematically obliterating towns and cities to get her to turn herself over to him. On Earth, she meets a wildly eccentric old lady named Teedee Venilworth whose imaginary butler/fiancé supposedly holds the key to her success. But how can someone help if he doesn't exist? Could it be that creatures who dwell in shadow are not exclusive to Lor Mandela? Book number two in the Lor Mandela Series, Lor Mandela – Four Hundred Days, is an action-packed whirlwind of intrigue and fantasy. Join the extraordinary characters from the first book, (both the good and the evil), as they traverse the haunted corridors of Alcatraz Penitentiary, travel via portal to an ancient castle on the cliff shores of Ireland, and meet a foreboding race of mystic warriors known as the Solom. Soar on the back of a large horse-like creature to the Northern High Forests and discover that on the picturesque world of Lor Mandela, your friends can become foes, your enemies your allies, and just because someone dies, it doesn’t always mean that they’re dead.
