Today I am going to do my 13 about my favourite books/series. These are in no particular order, that would be too hard. 1.... Robin Jones Gunn Sister Chicks series. Read them all and love love love them. 2. Francine Rivers. I have read lots and lots of her book and I really love her writing. Especially the Voice in the Wind Series. Life changing for sure. 3. Lynn Austin. I have read this whole series about four times. Great great books.  4.Lori Wick. My friend Lynne that passed away use to love her books and lent them to me all the time. They always make me think of her. She was a wonderful lady. 5. Anne of Green Gables. Oh my I loved that girl so much. And Aunt Marila too. Oh and Uncle Mathew. And I adored the whole bosom buddy thing.  6. The Yada yada prayer group. I have this entire series and I have read and read and read them. I love them. In fact I felt almost depressed when I read the last book because I had come to know Jody so well and really missed her. How sad is that? 7. What Katy Did.My all time fave when I was a little girl and I have read it and reread it a million times. Extract “ Katy's hair was forever in a snarl; her gowns were always catching on nails and 'tearing themselves'; and, in spite of her age and size, she was as heedless and innocent as a child of six. Katy was the longest girl that was ever seen. What she did to make herself grow so, nobody could tell; but there she was - up above Papa's ear, and a half a head taller than poor Aunt Izzie. Whenever she stopped to think about her height she became very awkward, and felt as if she were all legs and elbows, and angles and joints. Happily, her head was so full of other things, of plans and schemes and fancies of all sorts, that she didn't often take time to remember how tall she was. She was a dear, loving child, for all her careless habits, and made bushels of good resolutions every week of her life, only unluckily she never kept any of them. She had fits of responsibility about the other children, and longed to set them a good example, but when the chance came, she generally forgot to do so. Katy's days flew like the wind; for when she wasn't studying lessons, or sewing and darning with Aunt Izzie, which she hated extremely, there were always so many delightful schemes rioting in her brains, that all she wished for was ten pairs of hands to carry them out. -What Katy Did, Chapter 1. 8. Little Women.  I have read and reread this book as well. I cried every time Beth died. I thought Amy was a brat, Jo wonderful and Meg a little bit too grown up. Marme was just gorgeous and Laurie was the most exciting boy ever. 9. Elizabeth George. I have really enjoyed a lot of her books and they have made a big spiritual impact on my life. 10. Judy Blume. Didn't every kid and teen love her books. I think I have read them all but these are three of my favourites. Blubber. Are you there God it's me Margaret and Deenie. 10. The Secret Garden. Another childhood favourite. I could get lost in this book for hours.  11. The little princess. Such a beautiful sad little book I fell in love with this book when I was a little girl. I still love it now.  12. Helen Keller. Hers was the first full book I ever remember reading when I was in Kindy. I so admired her teacher. Was her name Miss Annie? And later as an adult I came to respect Helen so much too.  13. And of course what list would be complete without The Little House on the Prairie series. Oh I loved Ma and I longed to be able to sit in a rocking chair and knit knit knit just like her.  Man this reminded me of all the books I loved as a girl. I loved the Story book girl too. Did any of you ever read her? |
