Your favorite book(s)....


What are some of your favorite books you read regardless of your age? When I was a pre-teen teenager, I loved to read Sweet Valley High books. I read most of them; there were so engaging at that age. I also currently love books by James Patterson; one of my favorites by him is Sunday at Tiffany's. I read that book in literally 3 days. As a kid, I loved Golden Books. One of my favorites was Barbie and the Missing Wedding Dress....
