    Read this multiple times. The documentary comes on PBS every holiday season, it's wonderful too.

    Ok, I thought of one. Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry. I’ve been told by smart people that it’s not his best but I like it the best of all his fiction that I’ve read. It is the kind of book I’d like to write: sad, sweet, optimistic...poignant.

    If I use the criteria of what I’ve read more than once it would be many of Berry’s books. Also some of the Miss Read books. And so many children’s books.

    I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. I bought it not expecting much and it turned out to be one of the best reads of my life so far.

    Been thinking of books I've read more than once or given to friends. Gave this to my daughter recently. 8smvoteq5n84.jpg

    I'm currently reading a book about anti-gravity; it's impossible to put down.

    I don't have a favourite book - every book I've ever read was because I truly liked it...if I didn't, I'd put it down, usually pretty quick. Even for school (cliffs notes, and movies, duh!)

    But I will admit to liking the Twilight series...and admit to watching one an a half of the movies yesterday and tearing up (I was tired?!!!!)...and then laugh/crying at myself (the books are so much better than the movies and teen romance/fantasy is idealistic❣)

    Dean Koontz whips out easy fun thrillers that I used to devour, have not read any lately, but loved the Odd Thomas series.

    Enjoyed "Ready Player One", and the movie too

    Recently finished "Will Haunt You" indie author - (horror/sci-fi - my fav) it was a twirly twist, thoroughly enjoyed.

    Currently reading "Dead Moon" and loving it.

    Also currently reading "The Haunting of Blechdel Mansion", and liking it so far.

    ...is it weird tho, that sometimes I get into a book and then don't want to quite finish it because I don't want it to be over - or it to disappoint me?
