    My favaourite book is Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty. It is really funny but also a gorgeous story about sisters. Having three sisters myself, everytime I read it, it reminds me of them as well as giving me a good laugh. The first time I read it, I sat on the couch and read all day - obviously in my pre-baby days. Sigh..how I miss the ability to sit and lose myself in a book for hours sometimes!

    I really don't think I could only choose one book as my absolute fave - I have far too many that are close to my heart for different reasons that it is just impossible.

    Trillian, do you have a top 10 list maybe? I find it too hard to limit my books too.

    I haven't read Anne of Green gables, so have added it to my reading list and am searching the library catalogue for the other books

    I also enjoyed Harry Potter - they are much better than the films.

    I'm an avid reader and can't choose either but i'll see if i can work on a top 10.

    In no particular order:

    The Narnia Chronicals by C.S Lewis
    The Church Mice series by Graham Oakely
    The Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling
    The Hairy Maclary and Friends series by Lynley Dodd
    The Beatrix Potter collection
    The Magic Faraway Tree series by Enid Blyton
    Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carrol



    Actually... one book does stand out: The Valley Of Secrets by Charmain Hussey. Totally magical... highly recommended. My most recent discovery.

    If anyone wants free e-books, Anne of Green Gables and all the follow-on books (and loads more) are available via project guttenburg. It's fantastic!

    I'll be buying my children their own copy of Anne because mine is too old and fragile. I tend to read the e-book now because mine is a bit too well-read!
