In The Spirit of our Spring Reading Thing...Top 10 Books I Cannot Live Without! (and a free book giveaway!)

I discovered this fun meme at Amanda's blog. So I thought it appropriate in honor of our Spring Reading Thing...

Top 10 Books I Cannot Live Without

1. The Bible, naturally!
2. Sophie's Heart by Lori Wick--I read this novel at least once a year, and I cry every time.
3. Dee Henderson's O'Malley Chronicles (counts as one if you list it as a volume:0)
4. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers--a genuine love story
5. The Guy I'm Not Dating by Trish Perry--a Lucy and Ethel Christian chick-lit romance novel that just makes you happy
6. The Secret Life of Becky Miller by Sharon Hinck--I swear, Sharon reads my journal, or has a P.I. following me!!
7. Get Out of That Pit by Beth Moore--I love everything Beth writes and teaches, but this one still resonates in my soul...way down deep where only God can see
8. Any novel by Mary Higgins Clark--my mom and I began reading these together, which was the beginning of our reading journey as book buddies...till she went home to Jesus in August 2006
9. Relentless by Robin Parrish--the most fun I've ever had reading a gritty science fictiony suspense---he's just hard to put into a category...but he ROCKS!!
10. Chronicles of the King by Lynn Austin--again, a series counts if I list it as a volume---opened the Scripture of I & II Kings up to me like never before
