This list is only the tip of the iceberg; I’ve been an avid reader for my entire life. However, these books are some that stick in my memory as some of the best, most well-written books I’ve ever read.
Sherlock Holmes
O. Henry’s short stories
Jane Eyre
The Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit
The Cheney Duvall, M.D. series…one of the only Christian fiction series I can stomach.
The Last Sin Eater by Francine Rivers (I don’t like her other books, but this book was extremely good.)
The Heart Mender – it’s not as sappy as it sounds. It is incredible.
Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury. I’m not a big fan of her other books, but this one has a very unique plotline. And it’s built around a musical, which is awesome.
Regina Silsby’s Secret War
Hope Rising – this a collection of true stories from a therapeutic riding facility in Oregon
I have a question for you guys today, so comment below with your answer.
Do you re-read books?
I do. Multiple times. I find something new every time I read a book.
I don’t normally reread books, unless they’re classics. But I have read The Mitford Series by Jan Karon at least 6 times through the years. Those books just speak to me. The characters are so real, & there is nothing objectionable in them. Highly recommend! There are several books in the series.
Fun fact, I was visiting Biltmore Mansion in Asheville one time, and met Jan Karon in a gift shop there! I was starstruck, but she was so kind & gracious, as I knew she would be.
Thanks for your recommendations, I see a few books I need to check out now.
Yes I do re-read…usually when there is nothing new to read.
Good list! There are few books that I re-read. Mostly, I’m a once kinda gal.
Some of these are on my favorites list-some I’ll have to look for! Yes, I do like to revisit books-sort of touching base with an old friend.
Blessings.
