The Immortals series is the ultimate feel-good kind of story. Yeah, a few not so fun things happen, but all of it rated PG or less (maybe PG-13 for Realm of the Gods because there is kissing and a little sap, but don't let that stop you!) I tend to read it when I'm sick in bed and have a whole bunch of time to lie around and do nothing, and I can (and have) gone through all four books over the course of two days).
I don't know why I love The Green Rider, but it is also working its way up there in rereads. The second one wasn't as good, but it has it's moments, and the nice thing about rereading a book is you can skip over the bits you don't like so much.
And 10th Kingdom is *totally* awesome. I'd suggest reading the book before seeing the movie, but considering the movie is, quite literally, 6 and a half hours long (the full edition might possibly be seven hours), it's not like it really leaves much out. I only suggest the book reading first because some of the physical descriptions of the characters differ a bit from the actors who play them in the movie, and I personally like the description of them in the book better, even though - since i did see the movie first - the actors who played them are the ones who show up in my head when I reread it. But still, The 10th Kingdom will forever rate as a favorite on the book *and* movie scale for me.
/ramble I really didn't intend for it to get this long, honest. I am such a book whore.
