Books

I have been reading every chance I get and honestly am surprised about how few books I've been getting through! I need more time in a day! Don't we all!!

I've been reading the Stephanie Plum series, which is a fun entertaining read. Two weeks ago I finished "Three to get Deadly". These books are combination of mystery, adventure and very witty. (There is a little bad language in them though!) **** 4 stars

After getting my Kindle as a gift for Mother's Day I haven't been able to put it down! I read a darling LDS novel, "The List" by Melanie Jacobson. I try to change up the books I read so I don't get board with a series or genera. Usually those LDS novels are the same story, but I was happily surprised with this one. I loved the characters Cute, cute, cute. and want to name my next son with the middle name, Ryder!!
**** Stars

A couple days ago I completed "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. This 500 plus page book was far different than those cute LDS novels. It was a heavy topic about living in Germany during the rein of Hitler. It was sad, with a deep message. It was also beautiful. There were many paragraphs that sounded like mini poems. The author is very detailed and descriptive. I did find it interesting that not all Germans were ok and followed Hitler. *** 3 stars

Before I get back to my Stephani Plum series I wanted to read another LDS book that my friend recommend. Lite and easy was what I had in mind. I am in the middle of "Borrowed Light" by Carla Kelly. So far, so good. I catch myself reading with a slight twang in my voice as I'm flipping through the pages. I like the story so far!

Other books on my list are:
Little Bee
The Help
Unbroken
Sarah's Keys
The Thirteenth Tale
Abish
The Big Stone Gap

What have YOU read that I should add to my list??
