Of course no one could have just 10 favorite books. I love so many that I could never pick just 10.
I love many different types of genre--Zombies, Christian, classic, Dystopian, Childrens (some), Young Adult, Mystery....etc--it will never end.
Too many books, and too little time!

Pride and Prejudice --Jane Austen



I love this book, because of its humor, wit, writing, it's engaging, and timeless, and so much more. Jane loved to write stories  in settings of small villages with a few interesting families to work with.
It is hard for me to describe what the perfect word is for this book. Yes, it is humorous, but not the kind that makes anyone laugh out loud, or even chuckle, but there are many smiles, and many delicious moments of extreme satisfaction.

We might answer a question with a response of 'no', but she would write this same answer in many paragraphs. Of course, they are not just boring words describing no, but words filled with intelligence, and thoughtfulness.

I am trying to only explain the writing, and not the story itself, which you can find reviews for everywhere. I really can not do this book justice in my writing, so therefore, I will end this with please read, (it's free on Kindle.) Yes, it is harder to read than books of today, but well worth the extra time.

White Flag of the Dead by Joseph Talluto

Really good zombie novel. I like the idea of taking everything back, mostly people are hiding, or running for their lives.
Most zombie books have a lot of things I do not care for -- as if they were written for teenage boys (especially explicit female body parts.)
I don't mind your everyday f words or average cursing, but the books I'm speaking of are not for a Grandmother like me.
The main character is a father and leader, and if there is ever a zombie apocalypse I want him in charge. I really want to read all the books in this series--hopefully one day.

Shananana

I haven't read all of the Shannara books, jut the 3 about the Gypsy Morph called Genesis of Shannara, by Terry Brooks.
I really love the characters...they don't follow the standard description of good and evil, but are individually 
unique to make up this wonderful story. 
The ending has me longing to know what Hawk finds when he awakens, but that is the way a really
good book should make you feel....always wanting more, and it is never enough.
