Aargh. Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers – can it be number 10.5?

Just the Anne series. I have all of them, and my copies are pretty tattered. In the Anne series, my favorites are the first one, the third one, the fifth one, and the last one (Rilla). The Anne series is probably in the top 25 for how influential it’s been in my life.

Mark, I have a bit of a girl crush on Lauren Winner. But please don’t tell her I said that. I am a teensy bit jealous that you know her.

And, Rhonda, it pleases me to no end that we have read lots of the same books. I would love to see your list.

Great choices, Kari. I haven’t read all of them, but most. I should put together a list.

What, not in LC catalog number order??

I really want to read “Girl Meets God” (Winner is married to one of the teachers at my school) and “Traveling Mercies.” If I don’t read them soon, they’ll have to wait three years unitl after seminary.

you know, I think I do mostly. Huh. I never realized that. I’ll have to think about what my top 10 would be. And why I don’t read women authors. puzzling

That begs the question – do you read primarily male authors? I want to know what your top ten list would include.

I’ve only read LOTR and Harry potter out of those.
