My favorite book...that's a difficult question to answer for me. I really love Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. For a book selection more modern, I really loved Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It's easier for me to select favorites by genre than by all-time. I love too many books. My favorite series is either Harry Potter or the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire.

I tried reading the DC Icons series, which is young adult, and I couldn't do it. Everyone else loves them for the most part.

I don't read a lot of horror. It by Stephen King scared me at certain parts. That's one of the only "horror" books I have ever read.
Dracula by Bram Stoker. Hands down Dracula. While I was reading it and after, I saw danger in every shadow.

..
The Raj Quartet, 4 books, by Paul Scott
The Jewel in the Crown
The Day of the Scorpion
The Towers of Silence
A Division of the Spoils
An excellent series!
I almost put down Harry Potter with 7 books, but then saw that cursed child is listed as the 8th book. I never read that one.
The only one I have completed fully is the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, but there is a full length novel coming out. I'm still counting it though. There are 4. I'm not counting the novel because it isn't out yet.
Other than a few trilogies I don’t think I’ve yet completed a book series. I am currently working on a series by Juliet Blackwell.

I have never cried while reading a book. The closest one was probably When Breath Becomes Air. I teared up a bit.
Krystyna wrote: "12. What book made you cry?"Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand and Night by Elie Wiesel are two books that made me cry. They are so heartbreaking and redeeming.
