This week's top ten is in honor of International Literacy Day, which is TODAY! There are quite a few people out there in the world that lack the minimum literacy skills. We feel so blessed to not only know how to read but have so many books at our fingertips. Being able to read is very important in our home. Although Scott thinks Sundy reads a little too much, he is glad that she enjoys it and is glad that the girls have developed a great love of reading. The fun part about reading is that we get to share what we read with each other. Not only do we learn and benefit from reading but our family does too. The girls really love to tell us about each book they are reading and enjoy us hanging on their every word. Here is a list of a few of the books we really enjoy.
1. The Book of Mormon/Scriptures – Full of stories and lessons to help us in our own lives. The Word of God. What more can we say?
2. The Kingdom and the Crown series – Books about Christ’s life. Reading these strengthened Sundy’s testimony.
3. Harry Potter series – Not only do we love these books, but we have enjoyed the movies together also.
4. Charlotte’s Web – Grandma Mil read this one out loud to the girls on the way to California (Disneyland.) She made the story really come alive for them.
5. Where the Red Fern Grows – Both Kiara and Katia loved and cried while reading this book. Scott and Sundy really enjoyed it too.
6. Dandelion Wine – Ray Bradburry’s story makes you appreciate the good and sad things of life.
7. Tuck Everlasting – Sundy’s favorite book when she was a girl. The circle of life is definitely necessary…
8. Ender’s Game – Best Sci-Fi book in the world! Written by Sundy’s all-time favorite author, Orson Scott Card.
9. The Work and the Glory series – Kiara and Katia can’t seem to get enough of these books. They love learning about the early Church History.
10. Twilight series – Edward, Bite Her Already! (Not on Scott’s list, nor any other man’s list.)
