Thanks aunt Joy!

Aunt Joy sent me this book after our visit to Canada earlier this year. She guaranteed I would like it-and I do! It was such a cute book to read. Thanks!

I like to read just about anything! I'm constantly in search of good books to read. I joined a small book club in my ward that reads a book each month, but it's just not enough. I found a list online of the classic books students should read before college-many of which I have already finished and others I don't care to read (I can't imagine reading another book by Herman Melville-UGH! I didn't enjoy Moby Dick.) So I'm still working on that list, but always in search of other good reads.

I particularly like books for pre-teens. I have since my college days. I imagine Dallin reading them one day and enjoying them.
Some favorite young adult books:
My Side of the Mountain
Black Stallion
Number the Stars
The Giver
Julie of the Wolves
Night Swimmers

I LOVE children's literature! It's so colorful and interesting and I love sharing it with my kids. Some of my favorites are:
A Porcupine Named Fluffy
How Much is a Million
If you Give a Mouse a Cookie
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Hand, Hand, Fingers Thumb
Eating the Alphabet

Favorite authors for children's literature:
Mercer Mayer
Shel Silverstein
Dr. Seuss
Eric Carle

Reading for fun, one of my favorite authors is Orson Scott Card-he's such a diverse writer, from science fiction to fantasy to historical novels. Some of his books I like to read are:
Ender's game
Ender's Shadow
Sarah
Rebekah
Enchantment

I LOVE to read! I'm looking for other good books...any suggestions?
