If you had to pick your favourite story/book what would it be and why?
I love the Austen/Bronte books and until Twilight came out, it would have been a toss up between Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice.
Just an old romantic I am.

Oooooh, I do love Jane Eyre! But my favourite has to be Anne of Green Gables. Love it to pieces!
TBH, I never realised how much I loved it until I realised that DS just wouldn't "get" Anne as a girl would. I need a daughter to share this with! (Honestly, Anne of Green Gables was why I started thinking that a girl in the family may be a good thing!)

Anne of Green Gables and Little Women are my all time favourties. I still get angry when Amy goes and marries Laurie! grr.

Really? I didn't mind Amy marrying Laurie. But I cry buckets every time Beth dies.
As well as Little Women, I also love What Katy Did, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden. C19 books for pre-teens rock!

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 know exactly what you mean! My girls LOVE Anne as much as I do. I get so much joy out of talking about Anne with them. They have only seen the mini series though, we actually had an Anne of Green Gables marathon one Sunday. DD1 is reading the book now. It took me months to be able to trust her with my beloved book
