[Trisha]

Day 4: Yesterday's question was "What is your favorite series". Today's question is "What is your favorite book in that series"

- Mine is "The Prisoner of Azkaban"

Who wants to play!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

And I thought Day 3 was too hard to answer. I love to read series, so choosing just one favorite for day 3 -- I just couldn't do it. I could give a list of several favorites and now the favorite book of that series. Wow -- this may take me all month to figure out. I'll do some more reading for research ;)

[Kat]

My favorite book in the Pern series by Anne McCaffrey is The Harper Hall of Pern.

[Cleo]

Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome

A wonderful story of the adventures of four children on holiday in the Lake District in England. At first they thought it was a great adventure to camp out by themselves on Wild Cat Island but when they run into pirates and then have to fight a battle with Captain Flint himself, their vacation turns out to be more than they had ever dreamed! A must read classic!

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

book #1 The Hunger Games

[Annina]

I don't know!! I might need to start re-reading Harry Potter's so that I can answer to this one. :)

[Cindy]

[Jenny]

Oh gosh that's so hard!! I might have to go with the final installment of the Riyria Revelations, Heir of Novron.

[Terri]

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

[Antonio]

I'm not patient enough to go on with any series...I use to get disappointed in the second book, so I give up...

[Diana S]

The Cat Who Said Cheese by Lilian Jackson Braun

[Tracy]

The first four in Orson Scott Card's Alvin Maker Series are all wonderful, but my favorite must be #3, "Prentice Alvin"

[Kristi]

The first one: Naked in Death

[Gavin]

The Dark Tower, last book in the Dark Tower series. I'm one of those who thought the ending was actually quite fitting.

[Kalyn]

Hunger Games

[Rachel]

May 4th Entry:
My favorite book in my favorite series would have to be Catching Fire in the Hunger Games series.

[Aprilleigh]

Oh boy, that's a tough one - I guess it's reasonable to choose The Eye of the World, the one that started it all.

[Pink]

Favourite book in The Hunger Games series....Mockingjay which is probably an unpopular choice

ahhh, yes! I def thought the series started fabulously, and slid down a bit :p. Interesting choice, Pink :)

[Flor]

Clockwork princess (The infernal devices)

[Lindy-Lane]

A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton

my intro to a young,strong, 20th century female book detective.

[Tytti]

Because I don't really read series, I don't have a favourite book, either. If I have to say something, then maybe The Speckled Band.

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Lady of Desire is my fave title in a series.

Tie between:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

[[deleted user]]

I haven't read them all yet, but so far my favourite one is Mattimeo

[Hilary]

Perhaps Harry Potter and The Half Blood Ptice

Inca Gold...from the Dirk Pitt series by Clive Cussler

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

I read Inca Gold earlier this year, you have to give Cussler credit he writes a good series. Dirk Pitt a cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond. Fun reads.

Indeed...I wouldn't quite credit him with Classic Lit, or Great Lit, but he's fun and easy to read. As I said on the day 3 question...a good airplane read. I can't read anything too deep on planes. Cussler makes the time fly (pardon the pun).

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

Literature is not synonymous with Cussler and shame on me but I could read one or two a month.

I love so many of the Discworld books but if I have to choose one then Mort as it was the first one I read.

Not sure what made me think of this today, but there is a wonderful quotation by Admiral Sandecker in one of CC's books, might be Inca Gold, don't remember for certain.

He who waits not for chance, conquers fate

That has actually served me, at least once in life...when I conquered fate.

[siriusedward]

Mine too
Prisoner of Azkaban

[Bat-Cat]

The Fellowship of the Ring

[Rhedyn]

Prince Caspian

[Jehona]

A Game of Thrones

[Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse]

My favourite series is "The Banned and the Banished," and my favourite book out of them is Wit'ch Storm.

[Sara, New School Classics]

The Crystal Cave

[Shaina]

The Prisoner of Azkaban

[CindySR]

Anne of the Island from the Anne of GreenGables series and
the original All Creatures Great and Small

[Lynn, Old School Classics]

My favorite series was The Chronicles of Narnia and my favorite book is the last book The Last Battle/ How amazing. I cried and cried. The whole series made sense at that point and a serious amount of theology was delivered to readers. I love the series just on the merits of that book. If I had only read the first I would have given ir a ho hum 3 star rating.

I did really like that series too Sara. Mary Stewart is one of my favorite authors.

[Joseph]

Without Remorse by Tom Clancy - prequel to the Jack Ryan series. Most of the Ryan series felt like a guilty pleasure to me (not saying that's a bad thing, not at all), but Without Remorse was powerful, gripping, couldn't put it down.

(skip the 2021 film rendition, not at all faithful to the book)

[Michaela]

Been a while that I read the first books in the Waringham series by Rebecca Gablé, so probably the first: Das Lächeln der Fortuna or The Traitor's Son.

[Sherry]

The Fellowship of the Ring in The Lord of the Rings series.

[Robin P]

My favorite Harry Potter is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because of the time turner and mostly because of how Harry thinks his father is helping him but it's really him helping himself, such a great lesson. Also a great lesson that the terrible punishment of Azkaban is making people relive all our regrets and all the bad things we have ever done. Lots of us sentence ourselves to that fate!

[Wreade1872]

hmmm... i guess probably the Hogfather from the Discworld series, i love how it explores the dark origins of our family friendly tradition.
