It's world book day, a whole day to celebrate all things books.
I love books, absolutely adore them. I love the information they impart, the humour they can spill out, the stories they bring to life, the pictures they draw, the emotions they convey, the learning they provide.
So I've been thinking; what are my milestone books?
Favourite Children's book: Winnie the pooh

First real adult book: lord of the rings
Favourite adult book: the hobbit
Top three authors: John Grisham, Sebastian Faulks, Bill Bryson

Book that changed my life: called or collared

I'd love to hear your selections, please share. Happy world book day. Happy reading. Off to switch on my kindle right now.
I love WBD too, apart from having to find costumes for the kids for school for slightly odd characters!
ReplyDeleteI always find lists like these so hard as I never have 'one' favourite anything, particularly with books. I always have about 3 on the go and a stack next to the bed waiting to be read!! That said I love Shakespeare and one of my other faves is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee - first read it at school when studying for GCSEs and have read it loads since.
Another good one I read recently is 'Redeeming Love' by Francine Rivers. A love story, but based on the book of Hosea, very interesting and provoked great discussion at my book club!
Thanks for the follow. Now following both of your blogs:)
