October Reads

I have not read too much this month.

Top 3


Graceling by Kirstin Cashore It is about this girl who has been given a grace. A grace is a special power and typically no two individuals share exactly the same grace (although some are similiar) They are recognized by the color of their eyes...on being one color and the other distinctly different. Of course with any special power there is the option to choose how to use it or be used for it. Katsa has the grace of killing. She lives in a land controlled by 7 different kingdoms. She rescues someone who has been kidnapped and meets someone who also has a unique grace. They form a team to fight against a ruler who has kept his grace a secret. I loved it.



The Wedding Letters by Jason F. Wright. Although I have not read all of his novels the ones I have read I enjoyed. The wedding letters are just that...letters from friends and family compiled into an album for someones wedding. The letters are wonderful. The characters are likable. The story is simple. The message of hope, love, forgiveness, and work that is often required in a marriage is beautifully written.



The Teachings of President Monson. The book is arranged by topic. Under each topic are quotes from different talks he has given over time and in many different countries. It is wonderful and inspiring. This one you can have on hand if you needed to give a lesson or talk. The life of President Monson however reads like a novel. If you haven't read that pick it up immediately.



For the little people, I think the Mercy Watson series is hilarious and Tyler and I have loved reading them. Because of Mr Terupt is a novel recommended to me by Trevor. He kept wanting to talk about it and asking me if I had started it. I started and finished while he was at school. Awesome!

Happy Reading.
