My 10 yr old daughter and I are reading the Unicorn Chronicles, I just finished the first book last night, it was a nice light read....

I am currently reading the Twilight series , which I find thoroughly entertaining. All time favaorites vary from "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy to The Time Traveler's Wife.

My favorite book is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. It's beautiful. He's an amazing young artist.

Ahhhh, this is a very tough question to answer. I have so many favorite books. I love to read and probably read too much. I would have to say that my all time favorite classic novel is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. My most recent favorite read was The Shack by William P. Young. It is a story that will make you laugh, cry and re-evaluate life all. It was a great book.

If you like fantasy novels, you should try out the Drizzt series by R.A. Salvatore. I love them!

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is one of my faves. And if you like something a little racier (or a little more paranormal!), Dark Lover by J.R. Ward.

I have to put in my vote for The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It's truly a heartwrenching story, and one I could probably never read a second time, but I'm glad I did read it and it will always be in my personal library.

"Anne of Green Gables" :)

The Glass Castle is a book that hung around in my brain for a while. Love reading these comments, got lots to add to my reading list!

I've finally been able to get back to my reading, which I've missed so much - The Time Traveler's Wife ... loved it!

One of my all-time favorites is "Peace Like a River." It's excellent. I was hooked with the first paragraph.

I recently read Dracula by Bram Stoker and was amazed at how quickly it became scary and mysterious. I'm not usually drawn to vampire stories, but this groundbreaking tale is worth a read or re-read.
Of course, I should say that my favorite novel is Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

I've just started reading The Shack and I'm glued to it!

Whatever book I'm reading at the time is my favorite. I'm such a book fanatic. BUT, I have to second, third, fourth, etc. the Outlander series. It's been a long time since a series just captivated me the way that it has...I can't get enough of it!

I have to say any of Nicholas Sparks books OR Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. Wonderful indeed. I love all the goodies above. I hope I win a camera strap!!! Or scrapbooking stuff...or any of it!

The very best book of all time? The B-I-B-L-E. Reliable, modern, classic, timeless, my rock.

How about A Designer's Eye - scrapbooking with patterned paper (shameless sucking up!). Actually, it is Gone With the Wind, there is so much more to the story than in the movie. Have a great day!

I totally got sucked in - but I loved the Twilight series books!

OK - I have to admit that I am currently reading the Twilight Series with my daughter. We had heard so much about it that we decided we needed to see what all of the hype was about. Actually very good so far and I am spending lots of time with my daughter reading. Priceless!

My favourite book and the one that often comes travelling with me so I know I'll have at least one I love is Sword at Sunset by Rosemary Sutcliff, a retelling of the Arthurian legends as a Romano-British war lord fighting to keep the Saxons out of England, beautiful and exciting and sad.
And since I've just started buying picture books for the baby I'm having this summer I'd also recommend Lucy and Tom's Christmas by shirley Hughes - and indeed anything else with her charming illustrations, if you haven't read them you're missing out.
