Books

I love to read novels. It wasn't always like that though. I think I read myself dry after school and didn't read for quite a while, especially while the kids were small but then I started reading again but just serious stuff; mainly doctrinal books. When I was ill in hospital in 2001, my RS Pres asked me if I would like some books to read. "No, no" I told her, "I don't read". Well she brought me Dean Hughes "Faith of My Fathers" books and I was hooked into reading again.

I love historical fiction the best, but I'll also read true historical books, particularly of the Tudor and Stuart periods. I usually go to the Half Price Book Store in Mesa and grab loads of them for 50c to $1 each, then either donate them to our library at work or D.I. when I'm finished. If they're REALLY good, I'll keep them!!!

As of the other day, I didn't have any books left so decided to re-read the Diana Gabaldon Outlander series that I read about 5 years ago now. I originally borrowed them from the library but since managed to pick up the first 2 books in the series for 75c each. I started on Outlander the other day and it's SOOOO good. I know that Santa has got me the other 3 books to complete the series that I needed, although he had to pay $4 each for them. Santa needs to learn some budgeting tips from me! Actually, I forgot that there is now a 6th book in the series, but until it comes down in price, I'll pass on it for a while, although a few more hints to Santa along with the fact that I have been NICE, might just work.
