This top Tuesday is a freebie so I decided to list some of my favorite book series!

Top Ten Favorite Book Series 

It was really difficult for me to choose only 10 series to put on this list when there are so many series I loved out there! I chose these 10, but I could easily add at least another 10 to this list!

1 Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. I'm sure this one is many people's favorites and is no wonder why. Magic, mystery, friendship, good characters and an interesting plot transformed this series in one of my favorites. 

2 Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien. I love the world and characters created by J.R.R. Tolkien. I mean, how imaginative was he?

3 Hercule Poirot series by Agatha Christie. I'm not completely sure this is considered a series but I think it is and is definitely one of my favorites. I love the little Monsieur Poirot and his peculiar gray cells!

4 A Song of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin. Sometimes I think the fact I'm a Lord of the Rings fan makes me like this series so much because the whole feel of both series is very similar. Either way, this series has become one of my favorites due to all the mystery and intrigue.

5 Sherlock Holmes series by Arthur Conan Doyle. Yes, I cannot deny I'm a fan of mystery! Sherlock Holmes had to be on this list because all of the books are extremely well-written and entertaining. Plus, all the characters are extremely well-developed. 

6 The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater. The way the books in this series are written make me enjoy it so much. Plus, the story is really different and well-thought-out.

7 Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis. I fell in love with the first book in the series when it was first published and have, since then, enjoyed every new book Jill Shalvis writes. 

8 Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. A series about aliens with kickass and witty characters. It's no wonder it became one of my favorites. 

9 Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand. This might be my favorite series about angels. Yes, I do like Hush Hush as well but this one was able to me entertained and interested rigth from the start. 

10 The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. I know this is controversial, but I really did enjoy this series (more than Mortal Instruments). 

I know it's difficult to choose only 10 series but which ones are your favorites?

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten All Time Favorite Authors

This is definitely a hard list to make. There are many authors out there I love and to narrow it down to just 10 seemed like an impossible task but here's what I came up with.

Top Ten All Time Favorite Authors

1 - Jane Austen. Jane Austen is definitely one of my favorite authors. Persuasion still stands as one of my favorite books of all time. Jane Austen knew how to describe the peculiarities of the society she lived in like no one else. 

2 - Agatha Christie. Agatha Christie definitely had to be on this list. I love mystery and no one writes a mystery quite like this Lady. Her books are full of plot twists and interesting characters. The peculiar, little Monsieur Hercule Poirot is one of my favorite characters 

3 - Sir. Artur Conan Doyle.  As I said before, I'm a big fan of mystery so is not wonder Sir. Artur Conan Doyle is on this list. Sherlock Holmes, that's all I have to say! :)

4 - J.K. Rowling. I grew up reading Harry Potter and anxiously waiting for the next book or movie. Great characters, interesting plots and a world of magic are the reasons why J.K. Rowling is on this list. 

5 - J.R.R. Tolkien. The intricate world this man created while writing The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings is simply amazing. These books are some of my favorites.

6 - Charlotte Bronte. I remember reading Jane Austen for the first time and thinking it was a wonderful story about two people who are not always easy to love or understand. 

7 - Jill Shalvis. The first book by Jill Shalvis was Simply Irresistible. Someone gave me the book and I decided to read it and was immediately hooked. Jill Shalvis writes great contemporary romances and when I need something light, funny and well-written I know I can just pick one of her books up and be entertained for a while. 

8 - Jennifer L. Armentrout. Books by Jennifer L. Armentrout or J. Lynn are always fun and interesting. The author always creates characters I want to read more and more about.  

9 - Maggie Stiefvater. In recent years te Raven Cycle series became one of my favorites. The books are extremely well-written and the plot is so intricate I can't help but to love it. 

10 - Lorraine Zago Rosenthal. Other Words For Love stuck with me for a long time after I finished reading it and, for this reason, Lorraine Zago Rosenthal deserves a place on this list. 

There are many other authors I love and who deserved to be on this list but since I could only pick 10 I had to compromise!

What about you? Can you choose your all time favorite authors?
