LDS Fiction: My Personal Favorites
I read a lot of books. Most, but not all, are targeted for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some I like. Some are a silly waste of time. The ones I review for this column are the ones I enjoy enough to recommend to others. Once in awhile I find a book I think is particularly exceptional. These two memorable, top notch books are a couple of my personal faves!
Spring into Fiction
The following nine books are wonderful “page-turners” of fiction for kids ages nine and up. These books are a combination of fantasy, realistic fiction, mystery and more. They are just what your child will need to get, or stay, excited about reading.

The Perfect Books for Baby
Baby books come in all sizes and shapes, but often the best baby books are board books. This type of book is sturdy and will last much longer if baby wants to pull, tug or even drool on it. I have compiled some of the best, newest books made to keep baby interested for as long as possible.
LDS Fiction: “Saving Susannah Jones”
Carolyn Twede Frank has written a rugged, yet touching Western set in Colorado during the late 1800s. Saving Susannah Jones is a tribute to the men and women who faced what appeared to be insurmountable odds only to reach deep inside themselves and push on.
