This weeks challenge topic is a tricky question--your favorite books.
I want to answer with the title of one of my books--or all of them. But that would be tacky. I could say the
Chronicles of Storn by the wandering sailor or the romantic suspenses of
Carol McPhee, but then a certain company might pull my reviews.

I've always been a voracious reader. Thank goodness we had a county library. Even if their stacks were supplemented by lots of auction box lots. I went through my mother's Cherry Ames series, then the young adult books of the time such as Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. I devoured the science fiction of E. E. Doc Smith, Isaac Asimov, and many more. The Executioner adventure series by Don Pendleton and its spinoff, Able Team, filled a different interest before I worked my way through my father's boxes of western books.
Those trends have stayed with me. A short list of my favorite books follows, but I won't reveal how many times each has been read.
5) The Virginian, Owen Wister
4) Chronicles of the Lensemen, E. E. Doc Smith
3) The Shadow Riders, Lois L'Amour
2) The Adept, Kathryn Kurtz
1)
Pegasus in Space, Tower and Hive series, Anne McCaffrey
