For the Love of Reading

I am obsessed with reading. It is my favorite thing to do in my down time. Take a bath, light some candles and read. For Christmas I received the Kindle Fire from my parents. Best. Present. Ever! I don't have much money, so I've been downloading free books. I've found so far a couple of book series that I love. So here is my fantasy/fiction (thats what I consider them atleast) collection:
NoLander by Becca Mills
This book was about a girl who had panic attacks that weren't really panic attacks, just a way her body reacted to another world. I got really into this and loved it and then discovered the second book is not out yet. Damn. There were parts I got confused by. Not because the author made the story line confusing but by explaining the different worlds. I think, anyway. Like I said. I was confused.
Rain and Revelation by Therese Pautz
Not much to say but this was amazing. It was dark and twisty and the main character had to find her way. I loved it. I couldn't put it down. Plus, I could picture Ireland perfectly. I recommend this book to anyone. I loved it.
Poison Princess by Kresley Cole (The Arcana Chronicles)
End of the world. The Flash. This book was layered really well. It was dark and eerie, and awful to think of this actually happening but it was awesome. I normally don't read books like this because it will give me nightmares but this one didn't. I actually got the first 17 chapters free, and then paid 8 bucks. It was worth it. It was sad too, in a way. I hope there's another one. I'd love to see what happens with the characters.Whether she stays good, or goes bad. Whether he will accept that she is The Empress or if he will run. I want to know if she finds her gramma or if she encounters more setbacks.
The Binding and The Drifting by L. Filloon (The Velesi Trilogy) 
About fairies!Which I love. Most can't go wrong when writing about fairies. These one's I was up all night reading. And considering my 6 month old still wakes up twice a night, sleep is hard to come by. These are ass kicking, passionate, and loving characters. The third book of the Velesi Trilogy isn't out until July, I believe. And that's sad because I want to read it now. I hope they get to Lily in time before the bad guys do. And I hope nothing bad happens to Julia. But I do hope something bad happens to Julia's step dad and step brother. It's a fictional world. I'm okay with wishing something awful on a fictional character.

Harry Potter is my favorite series. Since before the movies. Shoot, I don't even like movies. I can read and it is a movie in my head. I get to imagine the characters how I want and no one can ruin the image in my head.
Dan, my boyfriend, is happy I have the Kindle Fire. It means he doesn't have to move heavy boxes of books! Although I do miss the feel and smell of a paper back book.
