Looking for some new books to read?

A few weeks ago, we did a book review activity, where several sisters discussed books they've read recently. We had a great turn out and got several ideas on good books to read.

Jewel Swenson shared Massacre at Mountain Meadow, the only account that the Church officially endorses. This book is not for the faint of heart, but it was good to know the actual story.

Cassi Penrod shared the following youth literature:

Ida B - Katharine Hannigan
On the Wings of Heroes - Richard Peck
The Tiger Rising - Kate DiCamillo
The Goose Girl - Shannon Hale
The Wednesday Wars - Gary Schmidt
The Giver - Lois Lowry

Other books reviewed included:

The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons - Dan Brown

I love you, Goodbye - Carol Lynn Pearson

Hearing the Voice of the Lord - Gerald Lund

The Brothers - a series by Chris Steward

You: The Owner's Manual - Drs. Oz & Roizen

The Princess - Lori Wick

Vanished - Lynn Gardner

A House Divided - N.C. Allen


Authors that several sisters enjoyed were Jodi Piccoult, who writes captivating social commentaries; Mary Higgins Clark, a popular murder-mystery author; and Karen Kingsbury, a Christian author that writes contemorary romances.
