    This is really difficult, but I have chosen five books that I re-read at least once a year:

    To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee - I studied this many years ago at GCSE and I loved it then and still love it today!

    Flesh - Richard Laymon - This is my favourite book by my favourite horror writer. Definitely not for everyone as it is very grim and graphic.

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - my favourite Harry Potter book of the series. I love the whole series though (and the films!)

    The Dead Zone - Stephen King - I found it difficult to name my favourite Stephen King books as he has written so many good ones, but this just wins over Cujo, The Stand and Full Dark, No Stars

    Rachel's Holiday - Marian Keyes - I read a lot of chick-lit in between my crime and horror and this has to be my favourite.

    There are so many others I could list to be honest :)
