Dear Readers,

When I started teaching... I started reading. I read all the 6-8 grade literature and then more. I now LOVE reading and ALWAY have a book on my dresser. Reading lets my mind wonder into a new world without diapers and crying babies. But reading is more fun when you share. For this blog I will write about the GOOD books I read. I will write about books that are worthy of reading and ones I truly recommend. Enjoy your readings.

Anytime, Anywhere by John Groberg

LOVED this book.  John Groberg was called to be an General Authority when his family was young and living in Idaho Falls.  Due to this calling, he and his family moved anywhere and at anytime.  In his 30 years as a General authority he served all around the world.  Each of his chapters is a story from somewhere around the world.  They are each stories of faith and dedication to the gospel of Jesus Christ. John and his family were truly amazing people who learned to sacrifice and listen to the Holy Spirit.  I loved all the stories he would recommend this book to anyone... anywhere. 

Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer

Awesome book!!!!  I first learned that "I would never ever want to climb Mt. Everest".  I also learned how expensive, time consuming, dangerous, long, and truly exhausting climbing Everest would be.  This book is a true account of 2 groups that summited on May 10, 1996.  5 people didn't make it home due to reasons that didn't have to happen.   Jon was on this summit, and gives a first hand account to what truly happens on "The worlds tallest Mountain."
