Janelle asked Jennifer Weiner:

Hey Jennifer, I think most readers have that one book they read over and over again-the one that's kind of like an old friend...what's yours?

Jennifer Weiner I have a lot of favorite re-reads. They're like comfort food, something warm and embracing that will take me to another place for a little while. I go back to my favorite Susan Isaacs books, ALMOST PARADISE and SHINING THROUGH a lot. I discovered Susan Isaacs ‎in high school and she became an instant favorite, and a role model in terms of the kind of stories I wanted to tell. In the summers, I'll take Judith Krantz to the beach. You can't beat SCRUPLES and PRINCESS DAISY...or Stephen King's THE STAND. And my new favorite thing is re-reading my childhood favorites before handing them off to my daughters. From A WRINKLE IN TIME to the "Great Brain" books, it's been a pleasure to rediscover my old first loves.
