Daughters of God


 Daughters of God By: M Russell Ballard

This was such an amazing book. I was able to reacquaint myself with my important role as a mother and a woman in the eyes of the Lord. With how crazy the world gets, it's easy to often feel lost or unimportant, especially with how the world views motherhood and families. This read was a good way to stop and take a break and read the inspiring words from an apostle of God.

Because it seems like I cant read or listen to books as much as I use to. I have decided to make this years goal a lot smaller. 

So this years goal is 15 books.

2025 Review


So my goal was to reach 25 books for 2025. I have never been able to achieve this goal, I have always come close but have never been able to hit that elusive 25.  Unfortunately 2025 was no different. Again I came close but wasn't able to do it....I blame life. :p I foresee 2026 being a difficult year for a large goal number. So for 2026 I have chosen a goal of 15 books. Well see how it goes. 

Here is my books that I read in 2025....

Believe in what you're doing, believe in who you are.


 Believe in what you're doing, believe in who you are. BY: Hilary Weeks

This is a short read. But super inspiring. I learned a lot about how I view things and how I can change those views to be better. I also learned a lot about how I can better my relationship with my Savior and my Heavenly Father.

The Tale of Despereaux


 The Tale of Despereaux By: Kate DiCamillo

A couple of months ago, the weekend before it was due, my 3rd grader told me he had a book report due on Monday. So, I started searching through our bookshelves, looking for a fairly quick read that was age-appropriate, and I found The Tale of Despereaux. We read quite a lot of the book over the weekend; at least enough for him to complete his book report. I didn't think he would want to finish it. But I was extremely happy when he kept coming to me asking me to read more.

Despereaux is a cute story about an abnormally small mouse who has big dreams and takes on big odds. He overcomes his own insecurities and doubts to triumph and become the hero. It is a super cute story and one I would recommend to anyone.

Leven Thumps-The Gateway


 Leven Thumps: The Gateway By: Obert Skye

I have read this before, but I haven't finished the whole series. So I felt now is the time to try and finish the series. But first, I had to re-read what I've already read. I was surprised at how much I actually remembered this story. I am excited to revisit the rest and then finally finish this series.

Sally's Lament


 Sally's Lament: A Twisted Tale

I was a little nervous when I started this book. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a big thing in my household. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was such a good book!!! It was so fun to see Jack and Sally together and the blossoming of their love. But having a problem in Christmas town that Sally and Jack helped fix was not at all what I expected and kept me on edge wondering what was going to happen next. Such a fun read, especially right now during the beginning of fall.
