Ye Gods . . . what an impossible question. Uhm . .

Probably my hardback of the Works of William Shakespeare. My husband and children bought it for my birthday when we were young and poor as church mice.

Circe by Madeline Miller. I’d never had a favourite book before, despite having read plenty of books I loved. But this book made me fall in love with reading all over again. I press flowers in my favourite pages and re-read my favourite parts when I’m having a hard day. If I only got to save one book, that’s the one, easily.

Memoar trilogi Mia Bustam will be the books that I'll save because these works are valuable, also some poetry books it seems.

You can just rebuy nearly any book but what I *can't* get back is my heavily annotated copy of Wuthering Heights, so that's what I'd save.

Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey - I love the book, and I love the cover art on the copy I have. The one I have is out of print now so whenever I see a copy of it I have to buy it. It's sort of like Jerry (played by Mel Gibson) buying copies of Catcher in the Rye in the movie Conspiracy Theory! :lol:
