Books Matter

 Books Matter: September 2020

 

The pandemic has given me excuses to stay at home. I have a daily checklist: family prayer and scripture study (X2), journal, clean, project (like this blog or sewing), service, piano, ukulele, walk, Spanish study, and READ. Reading is part of my life-long-learning goal. I learn a lot by reading—children’s books, non-fiction, classics, thrillers, historical fiction, modern fiction, and even some fantasy adventure. These are the ones I loved from the last month:

 

THE REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF COYOTE SUNRISE by Dan Gemeinhart

COME UNTO ME by Gerald Lund ( second in the series—also enjoyed FISHERS of MEN)

LIVE FREE OR DIE by Sean Hannity (with Jim)

THE LION, THE WITCH, & THE WARDROBE (with Cam) by C.S. Lewis

THE GIRL WITH THE LOUDING VOICE 

THE OTHER FAMILY by Loretta Nyhan

THE FALSE PRINCE by Jennifer Nielson

THE RUNAWAY KING by Jennifer Nielson

THE BOOK OF LOST FRIENDS by Lisa Wingate

THE CANYON’S EDGE by Dusti Bowling

WHEN STARS ARE SCATTERED

BAN THIS BOOK by Alan Gratz

INSIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF A CACTUS by Dusti Bowling

FIGHTING WORDS by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

THE BOOK OF MORMON

CONFERENCE TALKS APRIL 2020

 

Still reading:

ASHES by Laurie Halse Anderson—third in the series of a young Black girl during and following the Revolutionary War

 

I learn such from different perspectives of history and place. Reading is one of the very best things about retirement!
