[Fey]

oh lord, this is gonna take me a while LOL I'll probably pop back in frequently as I recall other things I'd recommend. I'm going to try to recommend across a lot of Genre's, just so people have lots of options.

Genre: Fantasy
Title: Twelve Kingdsom Volume 1: Sea of Shadow
Author: Fuyumi Ono
Synopsis: Yoko did everything she could to be a 'good daughter' and unexceptional girl, but her red hair made that hard. But nothing she'd done prepared her for the arrival of a blonde stranger who swore to serve her always...just before plunging her into a new world. Now, lost in another world, another kingdom, she must fight off demons, thieves and assassins to discover why it is she was brought to this place. And why her face is no longer her own.
Why do you recommend this book? This is the first book in a series by Ono and it's amazingly rich in details of this new world. It's not a hard read, even though it's a longer book. While found in the Teen Fiction area it's message is much more mature, and with undertones of horror, not really meant for an immature audience.

Is this a book, manga, or graphic novel? This is a Japanese novel that was translated, so while it does contain the occasional illustration it is not a manga, but reads a bit lighter than a traditional book.

Genre: Regency Romance
Title: Four in Hand
Author: Stephanie Laurens
Synopsis: After a years time Caroline Twinning decided it was time she and her three sisters set themselves upon London to find husbands. To do this she would have to seek out their guardian, the Duke of Twyford. However, he is not as she expected.
Why do you recommend this book? This is one of Stephanie Laurens first novels and she is a past master of creating rich characters who seem to step out of the book. Very much a 'classical' regency novel you may not find many surprises inside, but it's a good read.

Genre: Action/ Suspense
Title: Die Trying
Author: Lee Child
Synopsis: Jack Reacher is in the wrong, and right, place at the right time yet again. Kidnapped along with FBI agent Holly Johnson he's transported across the nation and embroiled in a madman's scheme. It will take a man of his unique abilities to save Holly and stop a potential crisis.
Why do you recommend this book? Out of all of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series this is the most involving book. Some of the imagery is incredibly evocative and you find yourself rooting for the hero against all odds.

With the help of a fire demon, a narcissistic wizard, a turnip headed scarecrow and a magic stick Sophie shall find her fortune.
Why do you recommend this book? While I enjoy the movie the book is much more visually rich, the character of Sophie much more British and over all the book is super enjoyable. As are the two sequels.
