- Latest Review: My Personal Desert Storm by Marcus Johnson
To give you some form of answer, for me it is just the one that sticks with me and draws me back to it again and again. It is in my thoughts during the day, and I dwell upon it quite often. It is never boring to read either. This is how it is for me.litmonster wrote:To all of those that are actually able to choose a favorite book, what are the parameters of your choice? Why *that* book? Seriously, as someone absolutely incapable of choosing one favorite book, or even just a couple, I would like to know. I'm curious.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for Thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. ~ Psalms 4:8

I still cherish The Folk of the Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton for the wonder it inspired in me as a child and it still sits proudly on my bookshelf.
As a young tweenie The Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit took me on wondrous journeys and remain fond memories in my mind.
But now I sit and stare at my bookshelves there is one series of books I would re read over and over - The Black Jewels Series by Anne Bishop. This series took me out of my comfort zone of pretty and magical fantasy fiction and into a darker, more adult set of novels. As a result, I broadened my scope of "potential adventures" and accessed different genres and writers with a new sense of acceptance into the darker side of fiction. This series sits high on my list of favourites for the strong female characters, the dark sensuality, the incorporation of the abhorrent aspects of human nature and the way it allowed me to accept these less fluffy books into my world and enjoy them. My bookshelf has been forever changed since meeting Jaenelle.
