Aug. 3, 2007 - My Top 5 Favorite Books of All Time, Kinda Of
A while back I asked Yellow Rose this queston, What are your top 5 favorite books of all time? I asked her this question because she had been posted her answers to questions that came about from a Bible Study. Questions like what are your top 5 favorite resturants, and your top 5 favorite foods. So I decided to ask her my question to find out the favorite books of another avid reader. She posted her answers and stated it was hard to narrow the choices down with so many great books out there. The more I thought about it the more I realized how right she was. I had difficultly coming up with just 5. I told I would post my choices sometime and that time is now.
I decided to split my favorites into 2 categories; fiction and non-fiction.
Top 5 Favorite Fiction Books (Book Series)
- Any Amish Series of books by Beverly Lewis
- The Love Comes Softly series by Janette Oke
- The Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
- Any Amish Series of books by Wanda Brunsetter
- Little Women
Top 5 Favorite Non-Fiction Books
- So Much More by the Botkin sister
- Created To Be His Helpmeet by Debi Pearl
- Fascinating Womanhood
- Treasury of Vintage Homekeeping Skills
- Any kind of cookbook
My next list would have been my top 5 picks 10 years ago. Although these books are full of secular views, feminist views, and contain worldly, mature material; the stories the authors wove are some of the best storytelling I have every read. Excellent enough that I have sought out copies to add to my book collection.
5 favorite secular books
- Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
- Shanna by Kathleen Woodwiss
- For Love of the Roses by Julia Garwood
- Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor
- Master of the Game by Sidney Sheldon
So there you have it, some of my favorites books.
I would like to add another very well written book that I enjoyed was The Da Vinci Code. I know, I know, this is a very controversial book. I would not recommend it to anyone that isn't very secure and mature in their Christian beliefs. It has the potential to be a very dangerous book. I can see it messing with someone's faith. We let DD read it but we discussed it before and after.
Books are a good thing!
