I love to read, and always have. Ever since I was young, I have been a fast reader. (I was one of those kids that could zip through a book - or two - a day. As a result, I have read a lot of books! But not all of those deserve "favorite" status.
1. The Bible. Hands down, the best book - helpful, encouraging, motivating, convicting and alive! (I reviewed an awesome audio Bible a while back!)
Well, after that it's hard to number anymore. How do you pick a second favorite? So I'll just list other favorites:
Starting with the classics:
- Little Women
- The Little House series (I'm not sure if they're technically "classics," but they are for me!)
- Pride and Prejudice
Then the not quite so old books:
- Seasons of the Heart series by Janette Oke (I've reread this series so many times, I've really lost count - usually books 1, 3 and 4 - I generally only skim the second one.) :)
- The Lauren Holbrook Series by Erynn Mangum (a new author, you will probably find her in the youth fiction section of your local Christian bookstore) Such fun stories and what a great message!
- Miracle Worker - The newer Disney version is wonderful! Anne Sullivan was a wonderful teacher. I love how she didn't give up on Helen and she expected great things of her.
- Anne of Green Gables (the first two!)
- Miss Potter
- North and South
