1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
There are several books by Jane Austen that I enjoy, but this is my favorite.  I first discovered this book in the school library (LEMS) when I was in Junior High.

2. Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
This book was also discovered in the LEMS library.  Although, I have not returned to this book as often as other books it remains a favorite.  This was the book that made me realize I love a book that interweaves a good story with history, legends and facts.

3. The Sword of Truth by Gilbert Morris
This is the first book in the Wakefield Dynasty, a generational saga with Elizabeth I, William Tyndale, the nobility, the lower-classes, romance, and christian beliefs.

4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
This is the 4th in the Harry Potter series, but my favorite.  

5. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Over the years I have read this book many times to all six of my nieces and nephews.

Below are some of my all time favorite books.  These are books that I have read multiple times over the years.  Sometimes I will return to one of the books, and only read part of the book, and other times I will listen to an audio version to experience the book in a different way.  These books always take me to the world created in the book and remind me of that time in my life when I first picked up the book.
