Books

Lately I have just loved books. Before this past month I can only think of one book I ever bought to read (I just read books my teachers assigned), but in this past month I have bought many books that I am so excited about. I think reading has become my new found hobby since I don't have school or work anymore to keep me busy, but I feel like there are so many books out there that I want to read that I will never have enough time to read them all. So right now, while my life isn't real busy, I've been reading...

I recently finished this book:

I read this book in 2 1/2 days and loved every minute of it. I had never read a book straight through like that before. I learned a lot of things about President Bush and our country that I had never realized. I really respect President Bush for his hard work and compassion during the extremely challenging eight years of his presidency. When I was reading this book, I appreciated his honesty and opinion on issues. It put things in a different light for me. I would recommend this book to anyone, even if they don't like politics or President Bush. I learned a lot about our country through this book, and that's something everyone can appreciate.

This book I just love:

It's a book by Elder Holland that has such great quotes in it about us being "created for greater things than we can comprehend." One of my favorite quotes in this book is this:

"God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future (that sounds pretty grim and stoic); He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities."

I love it! :)

And I bought this book today that I am so excited about reading:

I have heard nothing but great things about it and can't wait to see why everyone loves it so much :)
