Booking Through Thursday (44) Playing Favorites

-
Booking Through Thursday is a weekly bookish meme where participants are asked a series of questions about their reading habits. To join this or future Booking Through Thursdays Click Here.

This Week BTT Asks:
Do you have a favorite book?
 What do you say when people ask you?
And, has your favorite book changed over the years??


As you yourself mentioned, the question flummoxes me as well. I definitely have Favorite books but I wouldn't say I have one that reigns supreme over all the others like some evil overlord. Depending on genre my picks differ and I'll give you a couple examples below in case you're curious.

Favorite Children's Books
The Velveteen Rabbit
Anne of Green Gables
Where The Sidewalk Ends



Favorite Middle Grade/Young Adult Books
Harry Potter Series
 The Immortal Rules
His Fair Assassin Series
My Sweet Audrina
Demon In My View

Favorite Fantasy Books
Chronicles of Narnia
Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit
The Xanth Series

OK, I think that is enough for now. Honestly, it would take like 10 pages to list them all and I'm sure you'd be bored before even reaching the end. Anywho in short, the above mentioned are some of my favorite books but nowhere near all of them.I could never pick just one considering the millions of books in existence.If you can though, I'd love to hear what it is and why it is your favorite.
________________________________

Now for my questions:
Do you have a singular Favorite book?
If yes, What is it?
 If no, Do you have Favorites in multiple genres like I do?
What are some of your Favorite books?

    Okay, well my answer for this is fairly obvious :) But I do understand your indecisiveness here, even still. It's hard to pick favourites among books that are so special to you! I like your choices though.

    My automatic kneejerk answer, that is very honest, is Anne Rice - Queen Of The Damned. But the longer you give me to answer, the longer my list gets!

    I don't have just one favourite. It's too difficult to choose! I listed some of my favourites on my blog.

    I think I read Demon in My View many years ago. Reading Amelia Atwater-Rhodes was my first exposure to vampire books.

    I'm with you - I need to categorize my favorites and then list them! Favorite children's books have to include The Borrowers, The Complete Tales of Winnie the Pooh, and everything Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein. Middle Readers would include The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, The Harry Potter Series, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Other categories would be Classics, Cozy Mysteries, and Historic Fiction.

Welcome to my stop on the Books To Movies Giveaway Hop hosted by Mary from Bookhounds & I Am A Reader, Not A Writer If you didn't know by now I'm a huge fan of Books turned movies. I read as if I'm watching a movie as it is and so whenever I see a book turned into a film I get super excited. While I have many favorites I've decided to limit my choices to my Top 5. Trust me I can talk about Book to Movie adaptations all day if you'll let me :)  From this list you can choose either the book or film as your prize! In no particular order here are my favorite books turned into films! .The Lord Of The Rings is a series that can only be described as epic. I love the books and suggest everyone read the series at least once. When Peter Jackson turned the trilogy into a film and I heard of some of the changes I was skeptical. Fortunately as soon as I saw the first film all doubts were erased from my mind. I just can't get enough and have rewatched t

Giveaway: Vamps vs. Zombies Blog Hop!!

Welcome to my stop on the Vamps vs. Zombies Blog Hop hosted by April @ My Shelf Confessions . Up for Grabs is a $5 Amazon Giftcard and a Vampire or Zombie book of choice (up to $10).  Since I'm #TeamZombie all the way I figured it'd be fun to list my reasons for why Zombies are clearly superior to Vampires. Zombies Vampires Early Warning System. If you hear a moan you have time to run away before they eat you.                                       Climb through the window while you're sleeping to suck blood. That's just rude! Helpful in decreasing the surplus population. Sure their numbers might increase but it's the thought that counts. Due to "secrecy" Vampires try very hard to not increase numbers. They'd rather suck and move on. More fun to kill!  From traditional weapons to household supplies the possibilities for proper Zombie slayage are endless. Holy water, sunlight or stakes= yawn.   Zombies are equal opportunity hu
