Ten of My All-time Favorite Books

My blog friend, Wendy, recently mused about her love of reading

on her blog No Botox Allowed.

It got me thinking of my favorite books & 

I wanted to share a few with you.

Here they are . . .

- A Couple Favorite Classics -

Far From the Madding Crowd

by Thomas Hardy

I needed a few pages to get into it, but I really enjoyed it.
 There is a fantastic love triangle in this book! 

To Kill a Mockingbird

by Harper Lee

Beautiful story. Brilliant writing. Unforgettable characters.

I'm sure you've read it too - isn't it amazing?

- Riveting Reading -

March

by Geraldine Brooks

This book tells the story of the absent father of the 

March family in Little Women. I couldn't put it down!

Rebeccca

by Daphne du Maurier

So mysterious & so great. I've never found an author who made me feel what the character feels like Daphne du Mauier.

- Life-Changing Reads -

The Hiding Place

by Corrie Ten Boom

My all time favorite book. Corrie is a shining example of 

true Christianity, love & forgiveness.

Unbroken

by Laura Hillenbrand

At times it's hard to believe this is a true story. It helped me

better understand the sacrifices that have been made in my behalf.

1984

by George Orwell

Really thought provoking & creepier than ANY horror movie 

 I've ever seen. I wasn't the same after I read it.

- When I'm in the Mood to Laugh -

Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind

by Ann B. Ross

Oh my, I laughed out loud frequently when I read this - which drove my family nuts. They were relieved when it was over!

- Oh So Good! -

These is My Words

by Nancy E. Turner

Fiction. I heart the love story in this book so much.

- Spiritual - 

Believing Christ

by Stephen E. Robinson

I adore this book & the follow-up Following Christ.
