Day 18-A List of My Favorite Books

I was given a challenge on Facebook by my dear friend Lora to list my top ten books, and I could not do it.  I am unable to limit my choices to ten so I have decided to begin a list in my blog that I am sure will be added to over time.  I should be posting this on Goodreads too, but I just can't keep up with all the places one could visit online.

So here is my list in ABC order by title as I sit at my kitchen table in our Tahoe cabin. Sadly, our beautiful view of the lake is completely covered in smoke from the King fire.  I am grateful Rick and I were able to walk Lakeshore in Incline Village earlier today so we could see the sparkling blue water before it disappeared.  We will just have to stay inside, windows closed, and possibly find a good book to read, a movie to watch, or a game to play while praying for rain to help put out the fire.
