My top ten favorite books, in no particular order:
Sweet Liar, by Jude Devereaux
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Trilogy about Arthur and Merlin (Crystal Cave, Hollow Hills and Last Enchantment) by Mary Stewart
Wolfwalker by Tara K. Harper
The Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton
Just about any book by Anne McCaffrey
Just about any book by Mercedes Lackey
The Deryni books by Katherine Kurtz
Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L’engle
The Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling
Ok, I cheated. I’d have an easier time listing my top ten favorite authors than I do listing my favorite books. How can you choose a favorite of Anne McCaffrey’s books?? (Dragon Song remains at the top. It was the first of her books I ever read…in the sixth grade!)
Some of them I love for their sheer entertainment value (Merry Gentry and Harry Potter, for example) and others taught me a lot about life and living (Ring of Endless Light, for example)…Some hold precious memories: LoTR is a fascination I share wiht my Dad who introduced me to Tolkien by reading The Hobbit to me when I was 7 or 8; The Arthur series is one my mom introduced me to and began my love of all things Arthurian, as well as my fascination with rewritten fairy tales and legends. I was already hooked on all things magical though!
