Take a look, it’s in a book

I took an informal “What’s your favorite book?” poll on Facebook. Here are the results:

  • “Pride and Prejudice — I love her (Austen’s) sense of humor, the social propriety, the true-to-life and hilarious characters, and of course Mr. Darcy is the ultimate quiet, mysterious, tall-dark-and-handsome, wealthy man…” (Tammy K.)
  • “… i guess maybe ‘good omens,’ by terry pratchett and neil gaiman. for one, because it’s written by two of my favorite authors EVER. but apart from that, it’s a solid story: excellent plot, interesting characters that make me care about what happens to them, and a metric ton of hilarity. :D” (Stephanie F.)
  • “I love The Secret Garden and Little Women.” (Alison B.)
  • “Anne of Green Gables. It never gets old to me! Her drama always makes me laugh!” (Kate M.)
  • “Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. I love it because it’s a great story and great characters, and it makes you want to be a better person. There are others that rate right up there. If you ask me tomorrow it might be different.” (Laura D.)
  • “To Kill a Mockingbird b/c I love the characters! How can you not have a crush on Atticus Finch and just fall in love with Scout?” (Breanne G.)
  • “A Bridge Too Far by Cornelius Ryan – classic WWII story told with literary flair not oft present in such works.” (Mannie L.)
  • “Little Women. I always wanted to be Jo. :)” (Amy M.)
  • “Depends on my mood … Pride and Prejudice is definitely up there.” (April)

    • I’ve already read several of these (“Good Omens,” “The Secret Garden,” “Little Women,” “Poisonwood Bible” and “To Kill a Mockingbird”), but I’m thinking about re-reading those and reading the others on the list, too. Even Mannie’s World War II story.

    How about you? What’s your favorite book?

    1. Chosen: The Lost Diaries of Queen Esther by Ginger Garrett is also amazing. It’s a fictional take on what the lost diaries of Esther might have been during her time with her uncle, then as a member of the harem, to saving her people. I seriously couldn’t put it down.

      Do you see a theme? I really enjoy stories where young women grow come of age and become strong women who I want to be. =)

      I also love me some great mysteries like James Patterson and Dan Brown.
