I love Josephine Cox books, I can relate to them

Orhan Pamuk Black Book or Stig Larssen: Millenium Trilogy documentary fiction, politics, romance: great books: a real thrill to read!

Or, Secret Scripture Sebastian Barry: Ireland's Arundhati Roy: love, the tragedy of inequality and a beautiful twist: read it and weep.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is my favourite. I've never been to Louisiana but was totally transported there. I just loved the laid back style, the mint juleps, Southern drawl and the scenery. A wonderful observation of female camaraderie and a tricky mother daughter relationship.

For me it has to be the first Harry Potter book (Philosopher's Stone), because it was THE book that got me into reading while at a young age, and if it wasn't for the first book and the books that followed, then I might not be the man I am today.

Ah so much choice!
I will go with a childhood favourite and it has to be The lion, the witch and the wardrobe.
I have read it more times than I can remember and enjoyed film and stage productions...hmmm I must get a copy again!

Pride & Prejudice - a classic love story with an edge that I come back to time and again.

‘The Old Kingdom’ trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael & Abhorsen) by Garth Nix. I have enjoyed these books many times over and will do again.

Markus Zusak - The Book Thief. An unusual book written narrated by "Death", that follows the life of a young girl in World War 2. It's moving, interesting and drags you in so you just want to read more.

I love to read the Agatha Christie mysteries. Especially Hercule Poirot ones. He's my hero

my fave book is also a film- but the book is better as usual lol

Jurassic park, i love dinosaurs and this book brought them to life for me

simply amazing and jaw dropping too!

My favourite book is still A town like Alice by Neville Shute. I first read it in my teens and eventually when I retired went to visit Alice Springs to see the town for myself. It was a wonderful trip and brought the book to life. I still have the television series recorded on Video from the early 80s in my loft!

Favourite book is Fingersmith by Sarah Waters .I love the twists and turns and the Victorian style atmosphere of the novel.Extremely well written and gripping.

Alone in Berlin. It is set in Germany during the II World War. Such dreadful things happen but ordinary people behave with kindness and bravery. Truely uplifting

Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte gives us a strong heroine, a wonderful love story and, above all, a deep, dark novel which is full of mystery. I read this as a teenager and have visited it again and again throughout my adult life.

Still Alice by Lisa Genova. Alice is aged 50 when she receives a diagnosis of early onset Alzheimers disease. It changes everything, her relationship with her family and all around her. The book gives an insight into what it is like to live with Alzheimers.

Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca - a wonderful suspense from 1938 that has never gone out of print - yet we never learn the name of the heroine!

My favourite book is Night School by CJ Daugherty as it is full of mystery and intrigue and I didn't want to put it down.

Difficult to choose one overall favourite but this year I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. the story of 2 young girls in the southern USA during the 1800s, one a slave and the other her owner. A really good read and informative as well.

'The Best of Times' by Penny Vincenzi. A wonderful read - I just could not put it down. I became so involved with the characters and the difficult dilemmas they found themselves in that I almost felt as though I had been involved in the incident around which each of the scenarios evolved. I have read most of her books which are all superb but for me this was the best!

Sorry my post was too long - I read it as 140 words not characters!!

Wow - such a hard question... My favourite books are the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella - very funny

A Christmas Carol for this time of the year

My favourite book so far has got to be 'The girl On The Train' by Paula Hawkins.
A book about three women who's lives cross paths, a murder, alcohol and dementia.

Marian Keyes - Rachel's Holiday is a book I bought at the airport because I'm Rachel and was heading out on holiday. It's absolutely hilarious and I've read it time and again. I simply adore Marian Keyes as she's sassy and such a brilliant writer.
