Top Ten Tuesday - Ten Favorite Books by Ten Favorite Authors

Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists.  Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups!  Today's topic is Ten Favorite Books by Favorite Authors.

1.  Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie - If I absolutely had to name a favorite Christie this would probably be it.  There's a plot hole or two but I love the story so much I don't even care.  It's coming up for this year's Read Christie challenge and I'm so excited about it.

2.  Shattered Silk by Barbara Michaels - I have a few Michaels books that rotate as my favorite and this one involving a woman starting a vintage clothes store is my current favorite.

3.  Inheritance by Nora Roberts - I always enjoy Roberts' books but this first in the trilogy was my favorite in awhile.  I loved the premise, the setting and the characters.  I liked the rest of the trilogy but neither lived up to this one.

4.  The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery - I love all of Montgomery's books (even the ones that you can tell she wrote just to fulfill contract obligations) but this one is probably my absolute favorite.  Any book with Anne is a close second with Jane also being serious competition.

5.  The Dressmakers of London by Julia Kelly - I have so many books of Kelly's left to read but so far I've thoroughly enjoyed every book I've read.  This one stands out a bit though.

6.  Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan Henry - This is another author who has many books I still need to read but I've loved everything I've read.  This one absolutely hooked me and I'm looking forward to a reread.  

7.  The Twelve Jays of Christmas by Donna Andrews - This is a chaotic cozy mystery series with an enormous cast and lots of hijinks and it is always a good time.  The Christmas mysteries are typically my favorite and this one involved everyone having to wear hats indoors because they kept being divebombed by Blue Jays.  I don't remember why there were a lot of birds inside, but it was funny.  

8.  Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas - I love Kleypas's historical romances and am thrilled to see she has a new book coming out in the next few months.  This is one I've reread countless times and I never get tired of it.  It's the only villain redemption story I've every truly believed in.

9.  Someone to Wed by Mary Balogh - Balogh was one of my first favorite historical romance authors and I've recently gotten back to her books.  I don't find them quite as rereadable as Kleypas but I love the worlds she creates. 

10. When All the Girls Have Gone by Jayne Ann Krentz - I wouldn't necessarily list Krentz as one of the highest quality authors and they very rarely stay with me after I've finished them but they are a guaranteed distraction and a fun reading experience.
