Welcome to Tuesday Book Chat. This is where we encourage book lovers to answer our bookish question of the week.
Today’s question is:
Do you have an all-time favourite book?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please join in the conversation by commenting on this post or on the blog post shared in our Australasian Christian Writers Facebook Group.
Let’s chat!
This is a tricky question. I do have a book I got as a child with 3 fairy tales. The book has the Snow Queen which became my favourite story and I still have this book. As an adult the book would be the first book in the Canadian West series “When Calls the Heart”. This book got me back into reading.
Your turn.
I look forward to reading your comments here or at the FB group. I will be late replying as have a trip to the city today.

Mine would have to be a toss-up between Anne of Green Gables or Pilgrim’s Progress.
I have never known a book that made me laugh quite so hard as AoGG. The character interactions were fantastic & the fact that some of Anne’s dialogue went for whole pages without so much as a paragraph break just said so much about her as a character!
And with Pilgrim’s Progress – at least for me – Bunyan has unwittingly created this amazing fantasy world. I admit that I would never be able to stick to the King’s Highway, as there is just too much I would want to explore! The frozen mountain town of Stupidity – with only a fleeting mention in Pt2 – just evokes such an amazing picture. I would love to see it, but it’s in completely the wrong direction! I even love the pseudepigraphic Third Part, which I only discovered a few years ago, with more exciting (enticing?) places.
Both are good books I read Pilgrims Progress as a serial in the Junior Clubhouse Magazine (I don’t know if it was the full version or if it was adapted for younger children) but we also did a Sunday School Anniversary based on the story.
It’s too hard to choose!
Different books are special for different periods in my life.
As a child I loved the Katie books by Susan Coolidge.
As a teen it was the Billabong series by Mary Grant Bruce.
These days I often find myself going back time and time again to the Sisterchicks series by Robin Jones Gunn. Each book impacts me in different ways.
I loved the Billabong books too. I also loved the Peggy books.
I love the Sisterchick books also. it is a hard to choose.
