    I have lots of favorites that I read again and again, so it's hard to pick just one. Jane Eyre was the first romance I read so I have a special place for that one.

    I loved Georgette Heyer's These Old Shades and its sequel, The Devil's Cub, more than 30 years ago and still read them today. They are wonderfully witty and satisfying.

    And a more recent book, Kresley Cole's A Hunger Like No Other is a fantastic read. It's a thrilling paranormal with hero and heroine that really appeals to me!

    Whoops, sorry! Didn't mean to post twice. And to top it off, I forgot to add my email.

    I have lots of favorites that I revisit often. I guess the ones I reread the most are my J.D. Robbs. I love Eve and Roarke.

    I have two actually - one is...the mother of all chick lits "BRIDGET JONES DIARY" and my second one is a book I pull out everytime I break up with a guy (which, unfortunately, happens too often) so I get to read and re-read this book quite alot!!!

    In Between Boyfriends.....Both are exceptional and always put me back in a good mood.

    The Magic of You by Johanna Lindsey

    I love this book and can read it over and over.

    Hmm... several of my favorite re-reads are SEP's Ain't She Sweet, Julia Quinn's To Sir Phillip With Love, and almost anything by Jennifer Crusie. I guess I like the hot romance, plus a dash of humor :) Definitely comfort reads!

    My favorite book of all time is Twilight because of Edward Cullen.

    I don't have room for 'keepers' and I don't have the time to re-read a book because I have such a huge TBR pile. But there are certain favorite authors of mine that I read everything they have ever written and can't wait for their next book. In no particular order, some of them are: Candice Hern, Stephanie Laurens, Sabrina Jeffries, Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Teresa Medeiros, Tracy Anne Warren, Michele Ann Young, Liz Carlyle plus many, many more.

    My favorite book of all time would have to be The Reader. I could not put it down.

    I have a keeper trunk of some books I read over and over whenever I need a pick me up. One of the books is Lorraine Heath's Always to Remember. It's a tear jerker post-Civil War romance that I highly recommend.

    I agree with Karen... there are so many books to be read that I just don't have time to reread the ones I like.

    There are certain authors that I usually read anything they write. Some include:
    Stephen King, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Dean Koontz, JK Rowling to name a few.

    I love historical fiction especially anything along the lines of the Da Vinci Code. Angels & Demons is a good one.

    My TBR pile is very large, so I rarely reread a book. I like so many books I could never pick a favorite, but the books I would most likely reread are All About Evie and Everybody Loves Evie by Beth Ciotta, Pearl Cove by Elizabeth Lowell, Wanting What You Get by Kathy Love, Heiress For Hire by Erin McCarthy, Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins, Good Time Girl by Candace Schuler and anything by Suzanne Brockmann

  14. CrystalGB // February 09, 2009 6:33 AM  

    My choice would have to be Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas. Love the hero.

    I read Night Magic by Charlotte Vale Allen when I was just a teenager and it has stuck with me. The hero is flawed physically and that really made a difference in the story to me.

    I have read The Throat by Peter Straub multiple times. It is very well written and a great mystery story.

  18. Metonia // February 16, 2009 3:50 PM  

    I re-read many series, C.L.Wilson, Christine Feehan, Kresley Cole, Majorie M.Liu, Rebecca York, but my all time most read book is Christine Feehans Dark Fire is my most re-reas bbok

  19. LuAnn // February 20, 2009 7:48 AM  

    This is easy! My favorite book is "The Stand" by Stephen King. However, the one book I've read many times and still read every now and then is "A Separate Peace" by John Knowles.

    Metonia, Dark Fire is my favorite of Christine Feehan's books! I've read that one quite a few times. *sigh* I love Darius.

    I have read so many books that I forget to remember which one I read over and over again. The Da Vinci code and Angel and Demons both by Dan Brown were the historical mystery novels I couldnt get enough of. For fantasy novels, Cursor's Fury and Small Favor both by Jim Butcher stuck for me for a while.

    The cliffhangers and the plot twists were responsible for making revisit the novels several times. Sometimes, I just couldnt believe what happen that I have to read it over.
