![]() | Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) by J.K. Rowling
Buy new: £5.57 / Used from: £0.01 This book reaches the next level of JKR's series..much more adult. Sets the scene for 5,6 and 7. Definately one of the best, if not 'The' - jostling with Books 1&3,

![]() | Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter 5) by J.K. Rowling
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £0.59 Still HP so still love it, but mixed feelings about OoTP. Much darker, didn't like the turn it took, did not flow as well as the others -could tell the writing had been interrupted. Fantastic though!

|
![]() | The Forests of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Buy new: £7.14 / Used from: £1.16 I have all four of these books, having been reccomended to me by a friend who shares similar reading tastes. Have always enjoyed these bc, although fantasy, they are very well written.

|
![]() | The Complete Plays (Penguin Classics) by Christopher Marlowe
Buy new: £7.69 / Used from: £4.99 Yes, my tastes do range to the more sophisticated too. Thoroughly enjoyed studying Dr Faustus, so went and bought this. Happily working my way through this.
|

|
![]() | Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor
Buy new: £7.65 / Used from: £4.49 I confess to being ever so slightly romantic...I love this. Most of all, however, I love the historical info contained within its pages and the fact it was written and published (1st) at such a time..
|
![]() | The Man in the Iron Mask (Oxford World's Classics) by Alexandre Dumas (père)
Buy used from: £0.69 Dumas style of writing is very gentle and amusing...I really enjoy re-reading 3Muskateers. Love this too, except one day I will actually finish reading it..
|
![]() | Les Miserables (Penguin Popular Classics) by Victor Hugo
Buy new: £2.00 / Used from: £0.01 Unfortuantly, a library loan - even extended - is by no means long enough to finish reading the complete and unabridged edition. I thoroughly enjoy reading every paragraph and appreciate Hugo's style.
