  2. I guess I'm one of the few people who can say I have 1 favorite book, without a doubt. It always baffles me when others have a hard time with it, or even 5. My top 3 are no brainers, especially my all time favorite book. :)

    Here's my Day 4 Updates with both covers and a quick mash-up. Thanks for hosting!

  3. Surprisingly, I have one favourite book... and then a ton of other who are fighting it out for my top 5, so this was difficult! I had fun doing it though. Here is my post, and I also include a picture. Thanks Melissa!

  12. To choose 5? It would've been better & easier for me to choose only 1 or 2, mostly because I know them ;) still, I did it.
