Love it!!

What a fantastic idea!! I'm so excited about being a part of this! We just started up an RS book group in my ward, we've only read one so far. It was Cathrine Called Birdy by Karen Cushman. It's a YA book, so a quick read. Set in the middle ages complete with village maidens, rushes on the floor and fleas galore. It was cute, not my favorite, but cute. Heather, you may want to give this one a try b/c it is a quick read, and does have some factual basis in the Middle Ages. No swearing, by today's standards, but Catherine does spend part of the book trying to find the perfect swear word. She settles on "God's Thumbs!" Now I'm on to The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. I'm going to try the 2 week challenge with this one that Mom mentioned in her last post. I guess this one was on Oprah's booklist, which I usually try to avoid b/c I think that woman wields way too much power over the female population in this country. Oh well.

P.S. If anyone comes across any good books for boys that are NOT fantasy literature, would you post it here. I'm trying to help Zeke get a good range of reading and there's just not a whole lot out there for young boys. Thanks!!

Thanks for posting Sarah!
When I'm home in a couple of weeks I thought it might be fun to have the kids do some video book reviews to post on here.
