Thanks for posting, Paul! There is also a giveaway link for those interested in entering.

Good pick up!

So do I - I've only read the first and started the second one at one time, but I loved what I read and have meant to get back to it. I picked up the 5th book at Seagull on their clearance table for little money, too, which was a bonus. I have put that second book back on my (long) list of 2016 books to read.

Here are the books for those interested in them:

Hi, Miguel and David: Yes, this group is still active, although I can't seem to jump start activity for it, but I hope you will contribute whenever you wish to! :)

I saw that you had a new book, Jennie, and David's looks pretty cool, too! Here are the Goodreads covers for them for members who wish to learn more:

and

I've added both to my list of books to read.

I just finished this book, which goes beyond the ordinary biography/history of great people and makes the case that their achievements changed the world for the better. I really enjoyed it!

Biographies include Abraham; Pericles; the Apostle Paul; Isaac Newton; Marie Curie; Martin Luther King, Jr.; and Mother Theresa.

Is anyone else reading interesting books?

I just finished another Gerald N. Lund book, this from a new series about the World Wars and a German family. Here's my review:

And the book...

I read "The Undaunted" by Gerald N. Lund last month, and it was great. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.

I recently read "Divine Signatures" by Gerald N. Lund and thought it was one of the best books I've ever read. Here is my review:

I just "read" an audio book by Robert Marcum. It was novel about Mary & Joseph (which is also the title, not coincidentally).

Here is the link to the book:


And here is my review:

I would have gone to that! I think David Ridges is a pretty good scholar/author.

I recently read - and reviewed, both on Amazon and Goodreads - this book by A. L. Sowards called "Deadly Alliance," which was the third book in a very good series published by Covenant.



I also found a good site that reviews books by LDS women at this link: www.ldswomensbookreview.com/wordpress/

Thanks, Rodrigo!

I started reading The Book of Mormon again in May, and I'm loving the stories, too. It's a little different this time, because I'm reading it on my phone, and none of the highlights from seminary, my mission, and all the years after are there, so it's a little like reading it for the first time, and my perspectives are sometimes different, but it's always the best book ever, in my estimation.

If anyone wants to see my GoodReads review of The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ, here is the link:

Sure. :)

Thanks, Michael. I'm not much of an expert on C.S. Lewis, but perhaps some of our other members will take you up on your offer.

For those interested in Michael's books, the links are for free Kindle versions. Below are the books covers that link to the Goodreads listings.

My review of "Hotel On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" is at the link below for anyone interested:

It came in at the library on Friday, so I started it last night. It's pretty good so far. :)

I'll have to check out Songs of Willow Frost, too.
