It's that time again!

Going to tackle the unpopular opinions meme later - this sinus infection is keeping my energy super-low, but I'm feeling better today - but I require your book recs once again!

I have loved the books you guys have recced me in the past, and now I have a $50 Barnes and Noble gift card that's burning a hole in my pocket. The books in my cart only total to $34 right now, and I require your assistance to throw some awesome titles at me.

(And yes, I've already pre-ordered Dragon Soul. With my Borders gift card, actually! I have a lot of gift cards lately.)

Things I love:
- Fun books. Not to say there can't be conflict - conflict is wonderful, after all - but I want something I can just curl up and enjoy, not something that will get me depressed.
- Horror, the supernatural, good use of mythology, or any dose of creepiness at all. A nice, tense mystery will do it just as well, too.
- Creative fantasy elements.
- Adorable characters who I want to hug all the time. I tend to adore strong friendships and group dynamics, too.
- Snark and banter. ♥
- Unique, surprising romances.

I will be all over a book containing any or all of these elements!

Things that turn me off:
- Writers who are in love with their own "originality" or worldbuilding to the point that the story is inaccessible.
- Pretentiousness
- Love triangles
- When an author clearly wants me to think that his protagonist is amazing and witty and rebellious, but actually he is just bland/grating/all of the above.
- Romances between hapless guys and "quirky" women who aren't actually quirky at all but just spout supposedly meaningful dialogue at every opportunity. (See: Manic Pixie Dream Girl.)

Thanks in advance~ ♥
