And no surprise, for the eighth year in a row, I have the same favorite book. The others aren't in any particular order, but the first one will always be first. I love it so.
The Book of Mormon
I had some remarkable experiences with this sacred book this year. I shared them here and here. I think about them often and feel so much gratitude for this book the I love with all of my heart and that I read more than any other book in my life. It truly testifies of Jesus Christ and consistently reading parts of it and having them in my mind, on a regular basis, changes who I am. I'm so blessed to know of this book and to read it constantly.
Educated
Holy frijoles people, this book. I couldn't put it down, couldn't quit thinking about it after I finished and whenever I see that anyone has read it, I want to talk with them for three hours about their thoughts. It was just that mind blowing to me. What do I say, except read it if you haven't. It is a hard read, but absolutely worth it, in my opinion.
Where There's Hope
I admire Elizabeth Smart more than I could ever say, considering what has happened to her and how she has chosen to come out on top of it all, but this book blew me away. It sure made me want to handle life better and I loved everything about it.
The War That Saved My Life
This is a book for youth that I sincerely believe everyone should read. It had depth to it that I certainly wasn't expecting, never mention how much I related to parts of this book. I could read it many more times and still get more out of it than I did the first time. Every person I've recommended it to, has really loved it. So there's that.
Romancing Daphne
Oh Sarah Eden and her Regency Romances are kind of the best. This one is not exception. I loved it.
Okay For Now
Another book for youth that everyone should read. It is a hard one for sure (it is a clean book, but the topic is difficult) and I couldn't put it down, just wanting so much for something good to happen to this boy. I highly recommend this one.
Sisters First
I am enthralled and fascinated by the Bush family (and not just because Jacob has more photos with several members of their family than I think he has with me). I've just always watched them with admiration and loved reading books about each of them. And this was no different. I liked it a lot.
Lost in the Sun
Apparently youth books were my thing this past year. This one had a different story line that I really enjoyed (as much as you can enjoy some terrible happening to someone). It is a good one, folks.
Well, there you go. I finally wrote this post before the end of January, which is kind of miracle the way this month was going. Hopefully it is helpful in some way to others. Thanks friends. Happy reading!
