Latter-day Saint Fiction: A Step Outside the Usual
This column includes a couple of books that don't fit the mold of those I usually review. Both are billed as children's or general books, but carry messages for any age including adults. I thought it would be fun to start off the new year with books meant to strengthen families, build faith, and aid in establishing a life-long love of reading.
Latter-day Saint Fiction: A Different Regency
Though billed as a "Proper Romance" Rakes and Roses by Josi S. Kilpack goes beyond its genre.
New Knowledge for the New Year
How about reading non-fiction books that will surely inform and educate you for the new year? These picture books are exhilarating, informative and enlightening. They are good for all ages, unless otherwise indicated.
Books that Would Make Wonderful Christmas Gifts
With today being the 13th day for “Light the World” why not give a book to someone you admire. While the gift of time and service is perhaps the best, books have to be the next best thing to give.

Christmas is often a jumble of reality and fantasy. Two very different novels that would make great Christmas gifts for the readers on your list present this same contrast between what is real, what is not, and the importance of hope.
New Christmas Books to Bring Your Family Together this Year
Christmas is a time to remember the Christ Child and to read his sweet story in St. Luke. It's also a time for families to draw closer, to share moments of peace and love. One way to build the Christmas spirit and to strengthen family bonds is to read together. Each year I compile brief reviews of as many new books as possible. There's sure to be a new favorite somewhere in this year's collection.
