The books I love right now....

I love to read. I have read all the books on my self several times and I am sure I will read them all again. It doesn't matter that I already know what is going to happen. I still love the thrill of each story. There is one book in particular that is quite possibly my favorite book. It is called.. "The secret life of bees". It's about a white girl who grows up in the south during slavery times. I love all the adventures she goes on and all the thoughts she has regarding what is going on in the world around her. I think everyone should read this book. Although I must put a disclaimer, there are some swears and some interesting parts - not for kids. BUT I love this book and it is definitely a good read!


Next on the book list is Anita Stansfield. If you read anything by Anita Stansfield, you wont be dissapointed. She is an LDS author who writes mostly about marriages and families. My favorite of hers is a series that takes place in the 1800's about a family that lives on a big estate in Australlia. They are also excellent reads. The first one is "The Gable Faces East" and the second one is "Gables Against The Sky." These are both completely G Rated reads.


Next.. another favorite author is Mary Higgins Clark. These are mysteries and the kind that you don't want to read when you are home alone at night. They keep you on the edge of your seat and just possibly could give you nightmares.


Yes.. you all knew it was coming, I love the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I don't need to say much cause I think everyone in the world has read them... except Spencer who refuses. :)
I am excited for the movie to come out later this year..




Last but not least is a book called "Man's search for meaning". Is is told by a man who was put in concentration camps during WWII. This is book will make you cry, but it is an excellent insight into the life of a prisoner.
