Any book from the Skulduggery Pleasant series. Not only does the author have an amazing writing style, but also the characters are funny and serious at the same time
I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.

How do you choose a favorite? There are so many great novels and stories to delve into... I just love getting lost in a book and becoming a part of the story. It is so easy for me to lose track of time and read until I am completely done with the book. However, then the sadness washes over me as I realize that I have to put it back on the bookshelf and take myself out of the story....

My favorite will be 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' by Betty Smith.
Why? Because... idk sometimes you just love something and you don't know how to explain it in words.
It's just, I love classic books and coming-age novel kind of, so when I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, I feel like the book just spoke to me, I feel 'rich' with the life of Francie that I read.

Currently, it's Outlander. I just love the story and the little bit of scifi that's mixed in the story.

I really don't have a favorite book. I do like mysteries and thrillers.

"The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights" is one of my favorite books. It was published by John Steinbeck in 1976. It is really very interesting book.

I like this psychological book by Scott Peck, the road less travelled. It clearly shows reality in the twenty first century. The same book motivated me to start my writing my own book.

My favorite is 1984 by Orwell as well ! It is a must-read for everyone. Haruki Murakami has some awesome books too. Also Tolkien.

Latest Review: "Revelations From the Past" by Lori J Gordon

Post by Christinar81 »

My favorite book changes by what mood I'm in. It's to hard to just pick one single book. I have favorites for when I'm happy, sad or even angry. Certain books that were my favorite at one point may not be now. It all depends on what I was going through in life at the time that I read the book. How the book affected me in that moment can make all the difference in how I feel about it.
