Wow. This post took me a lot longer to do than I originally thought and I must thank my daughter for the quickly drawn banners. :D I apparently need some type of graphics software, but then I would need to take a class. Or two. And a new computer because I'm sure my dinosaur wouldn't be able to handle new software.
Anyway...I was originally going to do a Top Five Series, but I was just foolin' myself that I could pick only Five. So it became Ten and an Honorable Mentions list of Five. Believe me, it was hard enough whittling it down to those. This is why I can never pick a Favorite Author. There are just TOO many out there!

Series is Current ~ 24 books + several others
Co-Author Starting with Book 17 ~ Todd McCaffrey
*Thoughts: I stopped reading these books back around book 16 (around 2000) when my life got so busy I had to let them go. I intend to reread from the beginning because these were a favorite dating back to my childhood and I'm curious to see if the quality has remained with the addition of Todd McCaffrey.

I always just called this the Freedom series.

I love your daughter's banners - how cute!! I understand about graphics - I would be up a creek without a paddle without my brother's graphic help (he's a graphic design student).
ReplyDeleteSome great picks on there - I need to get around to a few of them still!
Thank you! I needed them quick so she just drew them on paper instead of trying to do them on her computer (which is newer than mine lol).
DeleteI have many series I need to start. I thought about attempting a Top Ten Want to Read Series for the blog, but I'm not sure I could handle another list so soon. LOL
Auel,Frost and Butcher would make my list..and after I read Duvall it might get added..LOL Great list and net post!
ReplyDeleteKimba, I think you'll love the Immortal Guardians. Seriously. :D
DeleteGreat list! Butcher, Harris, McCaffrey would make my list. Your daughter's banners are great. I haven't ventured into graphics for my blog...like you said it would involve taking some classes!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D I don't mind taking classes, but the time would seriously infringe on my reading time. Ya know? LOL
