@Dianne The 5th book is slow. But Diana is a very descriptive writer. I think with the success of her first 3 books, her publisher said Hey why not keep going and bid a contract for a few more.
I almost cried with joy! I’d voted for To Kill a Mockingbird several times — it’s been my favorite book since I first read it when I was ten years old, and I’ve read it 13 times since
I was happy to see To Kill a Mockingbird was voted number one.
Outlander in second? I never read!
@Diogo It’s a must read! Historical fiction, romance, adventure!
I did! I am thrilled Outlander came in second!
Is it good?
Yes! I just replied to.your comment. Lol It is a series. So far 8 books have been published.
Combination of Historical fiction, romance, adventure and some time traveling. Equals alot if fun to read!
I didn’t like to kill a mocking bird
Why?
I did. I wouldn’t have put Outlander ahead of Lord of the Rings.
@Dianne Her fans would! ?
Don’t get me wrong, I liked the first three Outlander books but then it just starte to feel like she was calling it in to make money.

The top 5 were not favorites of mine —granted I’m not a huge fan of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings
Outlander is great!!! Gone with the Wind is my favorite
I was floored when they said Mockingbird started at #1 and never moved! Very cool! I hope they do this again next year.
I loved that The Stand battled it out with Rebecca for its spot. I think King would like that.
I for one voted for Anne of Green Gables and was pleased it came in as high as it did. Was surprised that Harry Potter came in third
My favorite won!!
Mine made the top 5.
I still have so many on the list to read.
What did The Outsiders make?
@Tara #32
@Dee wow that’s crazy. I figured it would be top 10.
What made number 1?

Not surprised To Kill a Mockingbird made the #1 spot.
Would’ve been surprised if it hadn’t!
I’m actually surprised at the number one pick. I hate that book.
Why do you hate it?
@Christian it was boring.
@Tara you should consider the year that was wrote! It’s a good story, not the best!
I still don’t see it as a great story. Fine if others like it but just not my cup of tea.
I did and I was kind of ticked that some books placed lower than others but I was so glad To Kill A Mockingbird was the number one book
It’s a shame Harper Lee isn’t alive to see this result.
