On Facebook today I was prompted to enter my five all time favorite books. That corresponds with what Susan Anderson posted yesterday on Running With Quills.
I think I would have a really hard time narrowing it down to 5 but #1 would have to be
A lantern in her Hand by Bess Streeter Aldrich
The #2 spot belongs to National Velvet
The movie was wonderful but the book was oh so much better!
Number 3 Gone With The Wind...*sigh*
Here is where it gets dicey. I read a lot of series books. My first series of books was Nancy Drew. I could not get enough of them. When I was so ill with my second child I dug them all out and read them again. I still love them although I can go through them like potato chips.
And the Little House Books
Add on Cherry Ames, Donna Parker, The Bobbsey Twins...
Karen by Marie Killilea (also With love from Karen) both terrified and astounded me and I have re-read it several times. until today it has never occurred to me to look on the internet to see if I can find out what happened to her
Let's face it, I could never pick just 5. There is no way. Probably some of my all time favorite books haven't even been written yet. Isn't it wonderful?
Oh I forgot the Maida books by Inez Hayes Irwin...See what I mean?:-)

A lantern in her Hand by Bess Streeter AldrichBecause the road was steep and long,This books was first published in 1928 and I purchased my first copy of it in the late 1960's. Somehow it disappeared from my life and I just recently was able to find another copy. It is every bit as wonderful as I remembered. For a wonderful review/synopsis check Buried Treasure This book was really special to me because my grandmother was born in Prairie Union Nebraska in 1897!
And through a dark and lonely land,
God set upon my lips a song
And put a lantern in my hand.
