Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
It's another crazy real estate Tuesday. I am on the road by now, but I look forward to visiting your blogs later.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday, we are sharing our favorite books by our favorite authors. I will pretend that doesn't feel like choosing your favorite child.
Top Ten Favorite Books by My Favorite Authors
- A Mother's Gift by Charlotte Hubbard: Though I have loved every book of Charlotte's that I have ever read, this one was so special that it touched my heart in meaningful ways.
- Beyond Me: Living A You-First Life in a Me-First World by Kathi Macias: The first book that connected me with one of the most talented authors in Christian writing. This true call to discipleship is life-changing.
- A Christmas Journey Home, also by Kathi Macias: This novel is as timely today as it was back then.
- No Bells by F. M. Meredith (also known as Marilyn Meredith): Love that my favorite member of the Rocky Bluff P.D., Gordon Butler, is the focus.
- Dispel the Mist by Marilyn Meredith: This book features the Hairy Man, a Native American Bigfoot.
- The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder: Seeing Almanzo Wilder as a hero makes my heart flutter, but this is my favorite because it shines a light on the dangers pioneers faced.
- Anne of the Island by Lucy Maud Montgomery: It is in this third book of the AOGG series that Anne realizes she loves Gilbert.
- Jo's Boys by Louisa May Alcott: Of the three favorite authors of my childhood, Alcott is not as beloved as the first two. [Cheryl ducks to avoid virtual tomatoes.] However, I enjoyed this book the most because Jo has matured but is still herself.
- The Lost Hours by Karen White: I fell in love with Karen's books even harder with this novel. It blends friendship, tragedy, and a quest for the truth.
- Strong from the Heart by Jon Land: Have loved this series since I started reading it, but in this one, Catilin is so human as she battles demons from her past, deals with her half-sister, and so much more. She can always kick butt, but here we get closer and more personal with her. Oh, and more Colonel Paz is often a good thing.
Note: Linked many of these to reviews, but all the giveaways are long over.

Tell Me Something Tuesday (TMST) is hosted by Jen Twimom at That's What I'm Talking About. TMST is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general. Participation is optional, and you can leave your comments in the weekly post when you participate. Check it out if you're interested in joining.
Tell Me Something Tuesday asks: Which books are you looking forward to reading this Summer? (June-August).
Should I answer all the books I buy but never read? At least when the Lil' Princess spends $10 on a Kindle download, she reads it. My book-buying ban failed this year, so I am not paying attention anymore.
So, what am I excited to read this summer...
- The three books in Bull Cusano's The Old Cranberry Ladies Garden Club series
- Love on the Shelf by Sheila Roberts
- Staged by Caitlin Rother, which is the second in her Katrina & Goode series.
- At least one book by local authors that I grabbed at recent book events
- One book from my TBR Pile
Now, will I likely get to all these? No. Not if real estate keeps up at this pace. Retirement is getting closer all the time. :)
