1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
Weeks after I finished reading it, I cannot stop thinking about it. This is one of those rare books that, when reminiscing about it, I remember the emotions I felt while reading it more specifically than the actual events in the book. What a rare gift to be able to conjure up such powerful emotions in a reader, but Rowling has done just that, and in doing so, Harry joins the likes of Atticus Finch and Jay Gatsby and Anne Shirley.
2. Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnosis by Georgia Bying
While only halfway done with this book, I couldn't resist putting it on the list. There's no other word for it--not only is Molly's book incredible, she's incredible. What a fun heroine!
3. Sing a Song of Tuna Fish by Esme Raji Codell
She never disappoints...
4. Eleven on Top by Janet Evanovich
Hilarious as ever. Evanovich keeps cranking out the Stephanie Plum adventures and, amazingly, they keep living up to their reputation. Miss Rixie recommends reading this one while lying on the beach if at all possible.
5. The Princess Diaries VI by Meg Cabot
This woman is talented!! Read anything by Cabot and you won't be disappointed. I'm convinced she's actually six women posing as one because she cranks out so many books in a year and updates her blog all the time. If only I were one-tenth as productive. Sigh...
Next up on Miss Rixie's reading list:
Dancing in the Dark by Mary Jane Clark
1-800-Where-R-U series by Meg Cabot
Molly Moon Stops the World by Georgia Bying
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
Diary of a Fairy Godmother by Esme Raji Codell
