Cherrished Books

Whether it be from our childhood or our adult years, many of us had a book that we really love.

Tell us a little about your favorite book. What made it so special?

I love The Devil's Arithmetic by Lois Lowry. I lived in Germany for 3 years when I was very young. While we were there, a series was on television about the Holocaust. So, I learned about genocide and the horrors of the Holocaust at a very young age. It was not until college that I finally read The Devil's Arithmetic. It immediately struck a cord with me. I cried through several parts. I hate to cry but the book is so well written that I couldn't put it down. Of course, I know that the facts in the book, what things were really like, were accurate. Lois Lowry (or staff) really did her (or their) research. It just really touched me. I have read it about 3 times now, even though it is considered a juvenile chapter book.

My favorite fun book is The Royal Pain by Mary JaniceDavidson. I laughed so hard when I read it! I had stopped reading for fun because I was getting my Master's degree. This book not only relieved my stress, but also re-instilled my joy for reading.
