45 Favorite books

So, today is my birthday and I decided to do a fun post (for meπŸ˜‚), not sure if you will find it fun or not. I have a ton of favorite books (244 (that I have remembered to mark) on my Goodreads shelf), so it will still be hard for me to narrow this down to forty-five...I might cheat a little and say "series," but, it's my birthday and I can do what I want, LOL! So, not in any particular order, or linked to any reviews (because I am lazy), here are forty-five of my favorite books:

 
 
Series!!
ALL her books!!!
Series!
Series!
 
Series!
Series!!
 
Okay, so this was SO much harder than I expected it to be!! I felt like I was deleting favorite children to get the list down to 45! I had to get rid of nonfiction, middle grade, and try not to repeat authors...sigh. Anyway, here is a list of some of my favorites and at least I didn't ask for 45 books πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ BTW, did you figure out how old I am? 🀭 Also, do we have any favorites in common??

  1. Happy Birthday, Cindy! πŸŽ‚

    This is a great idea. I'd love to copy it but my list would get too long for that.
    From your books, I have only read "Book Love" and "Daddy Longlegs", both brilliant.

  2. Happy Birthday! A lot of your favorites are on my to-read list. The only one I've read is The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip, and I loved it too!

  3. Happy Birthday! What a fun birthday post. I'm impressed you were able to narrow your list of favorite books down to just 45. I saw several favorites of mine among yours: Words, My Phony Valentine, Book Love, Daddy Long Legs...as well as several favorite authors, too. Hope you have a wonderful day. :D

    1. Thanks, Lark. It really was SOOOOOOO hard!!! I still feel guilty about the books/authors that I couldn't put on the list!! But, if anyone clicks on Goodreads they can see them all, LOL!

  4. Oh I love this!!! The only I’ve read on your list is Authentically Izzy and oh my I loved that book!! I am so excited for Positively Penelope! Oh and Twilight.. almost forgot about that one. That was the best one in the series in my opinion.
    I have quite a few of these of these on your list , on my kindle right now waiting for me. Dear Henry , Love Edith I have on audio waiting for me. That’s actually how I listened to
    Izzy. The audio was such a delight 🀩

    Your list is quite tempting and now I have several books to go look up that I’m pretty sure I need😊 so thanks for sharing! This was such a fun idea. You make me want to start blogging again .

  5. Happy Birthday, Cindy! I hope you had a great day! Quite a few of your favorites are my favorites too. The Ring of Secrets series by Roseanna White is probably my favorite historical series. Those were awesome books. :)

  7. HAPPIEST (belated) BIRTHDAY to you, Cindy. Hope you had an amazing day. And I'm 99.9% sure if I tried to make a favorites list, Becky's would be on mine too. She always writes such great fiction. :)
