Lamentation by C.J. Sansom. I enjoy reading historical novels, makes all the jigsaw bits in my head start to make sense.

The Clan of the Cave Bear,
1st book in the Earth's Children series written by Jean M Auel. Just an epic novel.

I love all the JO Nesbo crime books-always a brilliant read

Lord of the Rings by Tolkein is still my favourite book. I read it for the first time in the early 70's and was totally transported to Middle Earth. I fell for Aragorn, loved Lothlorien, the hobbits, the battle between good and evil. When I got to the end I started again at the beginning.

My favourite book is Stephen Kings The Stand the fight between good and evil the struggle keep the people free from evil domination

the island by victoria hislop

set on the isle of spinalonga a leper colony. the story revolves around the isolated lepers the people that help them and the mainland residents who lose some of their loved one to this terrible disease and have a long and painful journey coming to terms with their change in circumstances. beautifully written,moving and so very real you can see the characters. there is joy in this tale but also tears. never has a book tugged so hard at my heart strings.

that should be 'war' of course, should re-read my post more carefully!

There are so many good books to choose from, but my all time
favourite is The Choir, by Joanna Trollope.

favourite book - Labyrinth by Kate Mosse
It takes me back to holidays in France and although this book flits between the past and the present in Carcasonne France it enables the reader to view France as if you are actually there in the story. It brings back memories for me of visiting there on holiday and as I love books related to history (fact or fiction) this has me engrossed from start to finish

One of my favourite books is..'Christmas Story', by Charles Dickens. I try to read it each year, and encourage others to read it too.

My favourite book is The Seige by Helen Dunmore. If you haven't read it you must.
It charts the lives of a family living through the siege of Leningrad. Their struggles for survival through starvation even boiling book bindings to get the glue out to make a soup. The descriptions of the family Dacha where they grow and store food and just human interaction.

My favourite has to be: Mosquito, the first multi role combat aircraft. Beautifully written with many previously unseen pictures.

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. A beautiful book that etches the horror of was into your imagination so that when the memory of the details dim the fear and pain, love and loss evoked never does.

My favourite book is the THE END OF ETERNITY by Isaac Asimov. I know Sci Fi is not everyone's cup of tea but it has a bit of a love angle as well although that is not Asimov's forte. The theme is thought provoking especially in today's political climate where almost our every move is being monitored and controlled by the government, for own benefit of course!

I love all sorts of books from Harry Potter to Kay scarpetta by Patricia cornwell even a saucy book occasionally by Jackie or Joan Collins but it's the classics that i tend to revisit sometimes a Christmas carol or Jane eyre even.

My Secret Sister: Jenny Lucas and Helen Edwards' family story. I too had a secret sister about whom I knew absolutely nothing, not even that she existed until 13 years ago.

I have just finished reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult it was an excellent read and a very real and moving story.

My favourite book?
So hard to choose!
I might just plump
For 'Ballet Shoes',
A childhood favourite
That aroused
A love of reading
Still espoused.

Hard to choose but probably Tolkein's Lord of the Rings an epic good v evil tale with fascinating characters and worlds. I love this book so much I chose my daughter's name from it

My favourite book is called THE FOG by my favourite author James Herbert. I'm an avid horror fan so this book ticked all the boxes for me, it's well written, scary, and part of it is set local to where I live so I recognised the places he referred too, just brilliant

I haven't really got a favourite book but I enjoy any thing by Bernard Cornwell or Simon Scarrow.

The player of Games - Iain M Banks explaining the labyrinth of holding on to privilege via a sci fi spy story

stunning

The Lovely Bones by Alice Seabold. From the get go well drawn, arched characters, phenomenal narrative arc. The way settings/environments are described you are embedded to in that towns trauma. Film only touches the surface of this brilliant read.

Love all books will read anything but always go back to the Classics,especially love Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte
