Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper: I loved this series when I read it as a kid, but the end of this last book in the series actually disappointed me a bit this time.
Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner: This is a hysterical story about what would happen to a demon hunter who raises a family and then has to go back to hunting again. There are two more sequels and I definitely want to read them.
Only Mine, Only You, and Only Love by Elizabeth Lowell: These western romances are a fallback series for me. Interesting characters, vivid descriptions and plot.
Web of Love, Slightly Dangerous, Slightly Sinful, Slightly Scandalous, Slightly Tempted, Irresistible by Mary Balogh: Another favorite romance author. I've reread these numerous times.
Excavation by James Rollins: Recommended by my brother, who is an archaeologist, this was a great Indian Jones style book.
Dragonsinger, Dragonsong, Dragondrums by Anne McCaffrey: Another old favorite trilogy. Teenager finds a life that makes her happy and a whole bunch of dragons. How can you go wrong?
Sleeping with the Fishes by Mary Janice Davidson: Cute and silly paranormal (mermaid) romance.
Salamandastron by Brian Jacques: As much as I like this author, eventually these novels start to get dull. They have the same plot - and it's not a bad one (evil is scary, good people fight back, good people have problems, evil people are defeated, everything is happy (and lots of wonderful food descriptions)) - but I usually get bored after about 8 or 10 of them (and I just checked and there are now 18 in the series. I wish he would start in another universe or change the format.
