Top 5

So it seems I posed a difficult question to my fellow librarians. What are your top 5 books? We all found that a difficult question to answer, so it was altered to who are your top 5 authors or what are your top 5 books. And now to get to know your librarians a little better here are their responses. Please share yours with us:)

1. John Grisham-Runaway Jury
2. Lynn Austin-Candle in the Darkness

5. Francine Rivers-Mark of the Lion Series

Nadine's top 5 authors:
Irving Stone
Pearl Buck
Sinclair Lewis
Edna Ferber
Thomas wolfe

Reda's top 5:
The first book has to be the Bible because it is an all-around good read, has all the answers to all of the problems, and can be read daily without getting bored.

The second is anything written by Karen Kingsbury because she bases all her novels on everyday experiences by everyday people.

The third is anything written by Lynn Austin.

The fourth is GONE WITH THE WIND by Margaret Mitchell. I have read it at least six times and watched the movie twice (the book is better).

And last but not least is anything by B. J. Hoff.

The Chronicles of the King series by Lynn Austin
