I joined my Ward's Book Club in November and have been loving it!! I have really enjoyed the books we've read, and the ones I've read on my own. It is always nice to read something highly recommended by people you trust! Here is a list of the books I have read so far: (Mom, prepare to be amazed. I am not the same girl who took 9 months to finish Les Miserable my Senior Year in High School. I can actually read faster now!!)
The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch
The Christmas Sweater, Glenn Beck
When the Heart Cries; Sisters of the Quilt Series (3 books), Cindy Woodsmall
The Bishop's Mantle, Agnes Sligh Turnbull
A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
And I'm finishing up The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter for book club on Thursday. I would highly recommend any of these books to someone looking for a good book to read. Just a warning.... Do Not begin the Sisters of the Quilt Series unless you have all 3 books in your possession. Your husband can not handle listening to you guess what the outcome will be, and he really doesn't want to know about each of the Amish characters in the book!
It has been really fun and thought provoking for me to read these books rather than watch every reality show or news commentary as an alternative. However, please do not bug us during the show True Beauty, we love this show and are rooting for Julia. (Please do not tell Mark you heard that from me. I think he wants that 1 indulgence kept secret).
