The Dresden Files

"For Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name."

Love, love, love this series! Seriously, if you love sci-fi and/or fantasy or just a good murder mystery with a splash of magic, this is the series for you!

Cookie Dough or Die

Olivia Greyson is the proud owner of The Gingerbread House-a quaint shop that specializes in all things cookie-and her best friend, Maddie, is her sidekick, baking up scrumptious treats for their cookie-themed parties. But now they must take a break from baking and find a killer, or else their reputation-and quite possibly their lives-will be battered for good.

Whenever I read one of this series, I swear I smell sugar cookies. And since I saw a few more books have been written I guess I know what I need to request from the library next.

Amelia Peabody

Set in 1884, this is the first installment in what has become a beloved bestselling series. At thirty-two, strong-willed Amelia Peabody, a self-proclaimed spinster, decides to use her ample inheritance to indulge her passion, Egyptology. On her way to Egypt, Amelia encounters a young woman named Evelyn Barton-Forbes. The two become fast friends and travel on together, encountering mysteries, missing mummies, and Radcliffe Emerson, a dashing and opinionated archaeologist who doesn't need a woman's help -- or so he thinks.

Love love love this series! Elizabeth Peters (real name is Barbara Mertz) was a genuine Egyptologist and this insider knowledge adds so much to the stories.
