In honor of National Book Lovers Day...

National Book Lovers Day is on August 9th! To celebrate, let's share our all-time favorite book and the story of why we love it so much.

Re: In honor of National Book Lovers Day...

  • Harry Potter. I fell in love with the series when the third movie came out. My dad watched the first two with me all the time and after I saw the third I had to know what happened. I found book 4 at a used book store, read it, and was hooked. I love everything about the series.

    Although, I have a soft spot for Matilda, by Roald Dahl. It wasn't the first book I ever read and I always enjoyed reading, but it's the one that really made me fall in love with reading.

  • When I was a kid, I loved James and the Giant Peach.  I must have read that book 6 times in a row!

    Now, my favorite book is the Hunger Games.  I haven't found another set of books where I've sat down and basically eaten the series in 2 days.

  • There are too many to name but the first one that comes to mind that kept me up til 5 am and had me weeping like a child multiple times was The Help. I think it moved me so much because of how I felt growing up in the south as a minority.
  • I'm not sure I can pick an all-time favorite book...

    David Edding's The Beleriad series was my first trip into fantasy, and it's been a beautiful relationship ever since. So I feel a wonderful fondness towards it.

    The Count of Monte Cristo was the first novel I ever read that had a complexity and depth that blew me away.

    I guess my favorite - I've read this too many times - novel is Lightning by Dean Koontz. It's not fancy. It's not mind blowing. It's just a great read.

  • Charlotte's Web was the book that shaped me into the reader I am today. I read it over and over and over as a child. Unfortunately, it did NOT cure my fear of spiders, no matter how much I cried over (spoiler alert!) Charlotte and her babies.

  • Jane Eyre. It has everything: mystery, action, romance, ghosts, tragedy. Just love it.
    My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

  • I have to pick one? D: I guess I'd go with Lord of the Rings. I'm just in love with the sheer expanse of it; the cultures, the languages, the landscapes. The epic story, the characters and they way they interact. And of course all the fantasy and magic.
