My own 'sentimental favorite' is always the novel I haven't yet written - I suppose that's the one I consider my 'masterpiece' as well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know if I like being the sentimental favorite.
My criteria for what makes a book an official 'favorite,' is based almost entirely on how desperately I don't want the story to end.
My favorite book is always the one I'm working on at the moment.
I always have a book that I use that somehow inspires my novels.
What's my favourite book? It changes all the time.
My favorite book is 'Redeeming Love.' It was my first as a born-again Christian, my statement of faith, and the most exciting year I've spent writing anything.
My favorite novel is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' because of its broad sweep, its tackling of big issues in ways that even young minds can make sense of and for the heart of the characters, who span a wide range of ages. I reread it every year.
My favorite anything is always relative to the context of present time, place and mood. When I finish a book and want to immediately find another by the same author and no other, that author is elevated to my favorite.
My books are all fantastically sentimental.
My favorite is always the book that I'm currently reading.
