    Question Which book of the TWG did you like the most?

    Even though she now has all 3 books combined into one complete edition, they are still divided as 3 books.

    Which book of the TWG did you like the most? Why?

    Although I found other books better than the TWG when it came to frugality, I would have to the say I liked the first one best. Having read the first one, it seemed like the next 2 were pretty much the same and by the time they came out, I was into other frugal books already, so they didn't have quite the same affect as the first one.

    I would have to say the first book is my favorite also. I don't know exactlly why, I guess I like it best because it is what started my frugal journey. I just love to read it.

    I think the first one too. The others seem to have some of the same ideas as the first one.

    I liked the first book also. It was all the information in those first newsletters that motivated me to start being frugal.

    Although it was the first book that inspired me to frugality, I, personally, enjoy the third book the best.

    Why? I'm not sure. The style of writing is a little different and the articles are longer. I basically have the tips and tricks in the letters from all three volumes memorized, but I like to re-read her longer articles in the third volume. I find them very informational, but not as dry as the longer articles in book one.

    I am not a fan of book 2 at all.

    Like you Cj, the first one is my fav. . I think because it's the one that got me really going on the road to frugality.
