What is your favorite store?

Anyone who knows me at all knows the answer to this one. I love Target!! Mostly their clearance. I have found so many awesome deals there. And everyone knows I am a Bargain Diva at heart. I hate paying full price for anything! So when I'm able to get Birthday presents and gifts for 75% off and next year's Holiday decorations for 75% to 90% off I am thrilled!
They also have some good prices on kids clothes and other stuff. But clearance is really what makes my heart pitter patter.

Do you have a favorite author? Who? Why? Tell about favorite books as a child...youth...adult.


My all time favorite author is Orson Scott Card. I own most of his books and love reading them. He is a fantastic writer. His imagination is amazing. My favorite book by him is Enchantment. It's a retelling of Sleeping Beauty. So good! I've read it lots of times and I'm sure I will read it many more.
While Orson Scott Card is my favorite author my favorite book of all time is The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. I already posted about that HERE.
I remember that my very favorite book as a child was Harry and the Terrible Whatsit. I had to buy a copy when I had kids because no one could find my old one. That's the only specific book I can remember from being young, but I'm sure there were lots. I've always loved reading.
As a youth I loved mystery novels. I read a lot of R.L. Stine books.
Now I love everything. My favorite type of books are Science Fiction and Fantasy. But I love most everything! I also have a bit of an obsession with Vampire books. I've read a lot of them! Some of them are good some are not. I'm open to reading pretty much anything other than horror. I find that the older I get the more of a wuss I am.
I'd love to hear your favorite book so I can add it to my list of things to read!
