My husband and I own three Ikea bookcases, each with 6 shelves. We have had to start double stacking books because we just have so many.

My favourites are as follows:

The Kite Runner by Khaleed Hosseini
The Lovely Bones by Alice Seebold
The Girl Who Played with Fire by Steig Larsson
The Little Prince by Antoine de St.Auxprey
Shadowfires by Dean Koontz
Superstitious by R,L.Stine
The Monk by Matthew Gregory Lewis
Weaveworld by Clive Barker (this one introduced me to fantasy)
Of Time and Of Seasons by Norma Johnston
Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume
The Works of Edgar Allan Poe
Trinity by Leon Uris


And quite a few more, but the list is already long enough.

Oh my gosh, I love The Monk. I read it in my Romantic Literature class in college and it was such ridiculous fun. It's so completely over-the-top and cheesy and it's like playing Gothic Novel Bingo with all the overblown tropes. It also contains possibly one of my favorite lines of all time- "He tore off those garments that impeded the gratification of his lust." I about died. I actually included Ambrose in an article I wrote on the strangest and most gruesome deaths in literature.
