As I consider Betsy Bird's posts of the top 100 children's books, I'm realizing that I categorize a novel as a favorite once I've read it at least five times with delight.
I tend to recycle my favorites during particular times of the year. Here are some examples that seem to fit with the seasons:
Winter:
Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
Little Women, Little Men, Jo's Boys by Louisa May Alcott
Emily of Deep Valley by Maud Hart Lovelace
Spring:
Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia Sorensen
Secret Garden by Frances H. Burnett
Summer:
Thimble Summer by Elizabeth Enright
Jane of Lantern Hill by L.M. Montgomery
Fall:
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Which novels do you re-read?
