what's your top ten terrific tale list?
Some good titles there! :D How are you?
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I'm doing pretty well. I am talking to a friend and my sister and laughing. It's fun :) How are you?
DeleteI like this method. I also want to read pretty much all of those and re-read the ones I've already read before. Cool new theme too. :)
ReplyDeleteI like this method a lot more than the other one, too! And I like the bubbles.
DeleteNice updated version:) Love those books! My, are we EVER going to have different books we love?;)
ReplyDeleteLayla.
Perhaps, perhaps not. Thanks, I like this version too!
DeleteI've read the first two and love them! I love anything by L. M. Montgomery. Have you read the Emily series by her?
ReplyDeleteMy top ten:
Emily of New Moon - L. M. Montgomery
Emily Climbs - L. M. Montgomery
Emily's Quest - L. M. Montgomery
The Last Sin Eater - Francine Rivers
Prairie Songs - Pan Conrod
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Stepping Heavenward - Elisabeth Prentiss
Jacob Have I Loved - Katherine Patterson
Prophet - Frank Peretti
Boat Song - Frances Ward Weller
Sarah Plain and Tall - Patricia MacLachlan
Oops...that was eleven. And I can't think of the others that I know I love. LoL
Rebecca
I have read Emily of New Moon, but unfortunately my library didn't have the other two! Hopefully I'll get to them sometime through my ILLiad (interlibrary loan) account.
DeleteNice 10! I haven't read any of those except #1. But I'm going to go put Jacob Have I Loved and Sarah Plain and Tall on my reading list right now!
Forewarn on Jacob have I loved - there are some parts I don't agree with - but Katherine makes her books so alive...I love it. :)
DeleteI meant to say I love the new background of your blog! It's adorable, and so cheerful!
Rebecca
Okay, thanks for the warning :) The only reason I've even heard that name is because in our church library there's a movie of it, and I thought it sounded pretty interesting. Do you know when it was written?
DeleteThanks about the background! I'm glad I changed it ... the other background was getting a little stifling. I needed to "open it up" and make it look more inviting to my readers :)
Hey! :) Yes, it was written in 1980. Here's our exact copy... http://www.amazon.com/Jacob-Have-Loved-Catherine-Paterson/dp/B004RZFRNE/ref=sr_1_33?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1367692443&sr=1-33&keywords=Jacob+have+I+loved
DeleteYes, I tend to give links to things that are maybe pointless...:p I just like the cover.
I saw the movie too, but was very young I can't remember much.
It surely looks more inviting! I really like it!
Rebecca
Okay :) Thanks for the link--it's certainly not pointless! The cover is really nice.
DeleteThanks, I'm glad the background looks more reader-friendly!
I have all three of LM Montgomery's Emily books. Wanna borrow them? Easier than ILL! Let me know and I can send them to you via the next member of my family who is heading your way.......
ReplyDeleteSure, Emz, that would be great!
