Hello.
One of my students wrote in her writing assignment:
I like "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" the best in my books.
I know the appropriate preposition for the latter part of the sentence above is 'of':
I like "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" the best of my books.
However, I'm not sure if it's OK to say "of my books".
The intended meaning here is "I like the book the best of all the books that I have/possess/own."
Would it be better if it were "I like 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' the best of all (of) my books"?
Thank you.
