Inkheart

By the way, I read Inkheart - not quite on time, but I still read it. We didn't really do the book club thing obviously, but I thought I'd at least do my review of it. It was OK. Laurel told me when I was halfway through the book that she thought the writing was a little juvenile. By the end of the book, I totally agreed. The idea of the story was pretty good though.

Mothering with Spiritual Power by Debra Sansing Woods

Mothering With Spiritual Power: Book of Mormon Inspirations for Raising a Righteous Family by Debra Sansing Woods

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick read - read it in three days. I liked her easy writing style and the stories she told about her own mothering. She used well-known scriptures from the Book of Mormon and applied them to motherhood and how we can be happy, balanced moms who live close to the Lord. She got me excited about the idea of studying the scriptures looking for how they apply to moms. So I got a new Book of Mormon and marked the scriptures she talked about and made a note about how they applied to motherhood. I also listed her topics in the front of the Book of Mormon. Now I can start my own study. I'm pretty excited about it.

No Flying in the House by Betty Brock

A delightful little book and an easy read (139 short pages as I recall).  It's hard to say much about the story line without spoiling, but I think of it as a short story version of what could be turned into a delightful fanatasy series.  I enjoyed the story line and think kids (probably 4th-5th graders) would love it.
