My new favorite book is a knitting book that I'm hoping to start a project from next week, Stitch & Bitch. I need to make a baby sweater in the worst way.
Thanks for the chance at your beautiful shoes! I've been an admirer for a few weeks now.

I'd love to be considered for this contest. As for a favourite book, it is so hard to pick just one, and I guess it also depends on what audience you are looking for. Two fictional adult favourite are The Time Traveller's Wife and A Fine Balance. As for children's books, there are so many wonderful classics, but a newfavourite is Ish by Peter Renolds. Wonderful message.
Posted by: Allison | October 08, 2009 at 06:25 PM
I adore children's books, one of my favorites growing up was "Miss Nelson is Missing"
Posted by: Shimmy Shake | October 08, 2009 at 06:04 PM

The favorite would be anything by Dr Seuss of course- love "My Many Colored Days". "Katy and the Big Snow" and any others by Virginia Burton
Posted by: Rachel P | October 08, 2009 at 03:39 PM
My all-time fave is "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" by Avi. But I have about fifty million trillion favorites, really.
Posted by: Allison Hansen | October 08, 2009 at 02:23 PM
It got to be "Finding Little Sister" by Yoriko Tsutsui.
I'm sure my 6 mths old baby will grow up to love this as well.
Posted by: Phyllis Pan | October 08, 2009 at 02:14 PM

Posted by: Jennifer | October 08, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Too hard to choose! I love the Chronicles of Narina...I've re-read them many times. I just read a book by Josephine Tey that was very good. :)

So hard to choose, and such fun thinking through the list! Right now my favorite books are from the "Miss Read" series, by Dora Saint. Reading about English village life is soothing and heartwarming, and the voice of the narrator is remarkably funny and crisp. Love them.

Hello everyone!
I'm glad you are posting all that great book titles! And to answer to Margareta - yes! I asked for your favorite book, it can be from your childhood, teen days or the best book you read recently - one of the best you read in your life! (I know it's difficult to pick just one! That's my challenge.)
To be sincere - for me it's a great way to hear about good books I've never heard before, too :)
Enjoy and good luck to all of you! :)
