This was a fun topic for Top Ten Tuesday! It was honestly hard to choose and some of these I had forgotten about as I thought through which ones to pick. Some are classics, others current series, and some are Christian authors I read years ago as a teen. I think writing is brave and ambitious and something I don't know if I'd have the patience for. So hats off to these authors for taking a leap of faith and putting out a first book.
1. The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman
2. Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
3. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
4. Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke
5. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
6. The Cater Street Hangman by Anne Perry
7. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
8. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
9. A Very English Murder by Verity Bright
10. The Heather Hills of Stonewycke by Michael Phillips and Judith Pella
To Kill a Mockingbird is a book I'm hoping to reread soon. Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/the-10-best-books-i-read-in-the-last-10-years/
ReplyDeleteIt is a great one for sure. I did my freshman high school term paper on it and loved it. I will be sure to check out your top ten and blog. Thanks Stefani!
DeleteAnd to think Anne of Green Gables was rejected by publishers at first! I’ll bet they sorely regretted that decision.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Tuesday.
That is so interesting! I didn't know that. Imagine how many great books out there are rejected and we miss out!
DeleteI really need to get round to trying A Very English Murder! I've had it on my shelves for quite a while. Good list -- I do love Anne of Green Gables so much.
ReplyDeleteThe Verity Bright series is so much fun. Thanks Nicky! I've added your blog to my blog roll and will have to check it out!
DeleteThe Sunne in Splendour was very nearly on mine - I think it was book 12 on my list!
ReplyDeleteIt is so good! I love all of her books :) Thanks Cassie
DeleteI need to read Anne of Green Gables. I somehow missed it as a kid.
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I've read the book. I also loved the PBS special too and watch it when it comes on sometimes.
