Yes! Especially when it feels like you're nominating the fave to either say something about yourself, or to recommend to others - I think part of why I'm drifting from Jellicoe Road is it's a YA novel, and that hasn't been most representative of my reading choices for a while now.

But then what makes a fave? Most read? Dearest to heart? (Too many, and for such varied reasons.) Objectively best?
