Friday Favorites #1


Like the vast majority of book bloggers I could never pick just one favorite book.  However I do have quite a few favorite books!  These are books that I reread quite often and turn to when I’m having a bad day.   So here at BookGirl’s BookNook on the last Friday of every month I'll be talking about my favorite books.

September’s Friday Favorite:



Sunshine by Robin McKinley

I found this book a few years ago; I can’t remember the exact day.  I was shopping in B&N and just randomly picked up Sunshine.  I love Robin McKinley’s books and I love a good vampire story so I’m sure that those were two major reasons why this book appealed to me.   I devoured the book.  I read it in about two hours.  Now, when I’m having a bad day this is the book that I turn to.  This is one of those books that I won’t let people borrow because I need to know it’s here for me to read anytime I want!  For Christmas last year I received a hard cover copy of Sunshine because my paperback edition was falling apart because I’d read it so many times.  The magic, the vampires, the demons, and the baking combined with characters that I would like to know have combined to provide readers with one of the best books I’ve ever read!  

Tell me about your favorite books.

  1. Great call on Sunshine! I just wanted to second your recommendation! It is on my Top 10 Books of All Time list. I have no idea what it is about this book, but it is like drinking hot cocoa. Absolutely delicious! So glad to have found you through Book Blogs!

  2. It's so good when you pick a book at random and love it. I often buy books because I like the cover (I know you aren't supposed to do that but I can't help myself). Luckily, I've enjoyed most of them. Love your blog. I'm following.
