All About Me - Day 4 - My favorite book

Again, do you know how many books I’ve read in my lifetime? Probably more than movies I’ve seen (I’ve always been quite bookish…)

I define my favorite book the same as I do my favorite movie. If I want to read or see it again, then it’s my favorite.

So, by that definition, my favorite book is the one I’ve read the most and that’s a tie between these two books (read both 3 times):

I first read Jane Eyre in the 8th grade (by choice), read it again for a book report my senior year (again by choice), and then requested a new copy for Christmas a couple years later so I could read it again because my copy was falling apart. :)))
Seize the Night by Dean Koontz, I’ve read three times because I think you have to read it that many times to grasp everything in the book. Each time I read it, I understood something I didn’t get the first time. I read it for the first time in the 9th grade, again a few years later and then once more a few years after that. Again, I’ve always been quite bookish.

And here are some honorable mentions:

I have read the entire Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. I have read the first 4 and last 2 twice. The Vampire Lestat (#2) and Blackwood Farm (next to the last) are my favorites in the series. Was so sad to see this series end. :(((

This book is SO much more than the movie. As much as I love the movie (shoot, I forgot to put that one on my list!) the book is SO much more. The movie leaves a lot out!

I would like to read Gone With The Wind again one day.

Again, I forgot to put this on my list of movies (it should’ve made the short list)! Absolutely loved the movie – watched it 3 times in the first two days I had it.

As far as the series of books go, I got midway through Prince Caspian. I haven’t watched the movie yet. One day, I will start over on Prince Caspian and then finally see the movie.

Since becoming a Mom, I have a few children’s books I have to add to my favorite book list:
