My 10 Favorite Books are:
- The Black Stallion by Walter Farley
- The Black Stallion Returns by Walter Farley
- My Friend Flicka by Mary O'Hara
- Little Women by Louisa Mae Alcott
- The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
- Hotel by Arthur Haley
- To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee
- Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann

I chose books from different eras of my life. The books about horses were from my childhood. Little Women and The Yearling were favorite books from my early teens. Hotel and To Kill a Mocking Bird were from young adult years and the Valley of the Dolls I read as a young married woman. The last two are books I can't forget from recent years.
If I had room for one more it would be Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.
I invite Brenda Kay Ledford, Joy Griffin Dent and Joan Gage to take this challenge.

4._ Ask your 3 friends to send you a link to their blog post so you can enjoy seeing their 10 favorite books, too.
6._ Your 3 friends will invite 3 of their friends to continue on with the challenge.

So many of your favorite books were also mine! I don't participate in these any more, but I still enjoy hearing about other people's favorite books. Right now I'm reading "Fear" by Bob Woodward. Sigh. It won't be a favorite book, but it's well written and reads like a thriller. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Glenda, I just re-blogged your post at https://abbiescorner.wordpress.com/2018/09/27/re-blog-ten-favorite-book-blogger-challenge-is-complete/.
ReplyDeleteI also loved the horse stories as a child - so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your list.
Thanks, DJan, for your comment. We are close in age and I'm not surprised we liked the same books. I plan to read Fear but I can't get into it yet. So many books I want to read, but can't seem to get all I want done in a day.
ReplyDeleteAbbie, I need to learn how to "re-blog" as you do. When I started out with blogging I learned you can't copy another blogger's work for your blog post. Guess I am behind times.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the book challenge. thanks for inviting me.
Lynda McKinney Lambert - Thanks for stopping by. Come again.
ReplyDeleteGood to meet a fellow horse lover.
Abbie, I see what you mean by re-blogging. You simply put the link to my post on my blog on your blog. Duh! Guess I can do that.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Glenda. Thank you for participating. As for re-blogging, Wordpress has a feature that allows you to automatically re-blog a post on your own blog. Since Blogger doesn't have this option, I copied and pasted the link to your post into my post. In any case, happy blogging.
