Books On My Nightstand

I have a problem with not being able to just read one book at a time. This is a problem because then I end up with piles of books around my room (clearly I need a bookshelf). But at the same time I love it because then I always have something to read based on what mood I'm in.

Here is what is currently on my nightstand, or in one of the many piles in my room:

Even though I've just barely started this book I've loved what I've read so far. It has so many great 

ideas for bloggers, experienced and beginners!  Here is a great review of the book by Haley at The Beautiful Exchange.

I'm a little over half way done with this book and I love it so far. The 'Heroes of Olympus' series is about a group of young demigods trying to save the world from being destroyed by a few different powerful ancient Gods. Rjordan mixes modern day with greek mythology in such a fun way. I've always been a big fan of Rick Rjordan's books because I love greek mythology. If you're looking for a fun easy read this series would be a choice. 

I know I posted about this book here and since I'm writing about it in this post it clearly means I haven't finished it. But when I do get a chance to sit and read a few pages I love it. I like reading it at a slow pace because it gives me a chance to really think about what a great man Joseph Smith was. You know how people always ask the question, "if you could have lunch with any person who would it be?". I'd definitely pick Joseph Smith. 

Remember when I said my world was rocked by some unfortunate news here? Well the day I got the news my dad handed me this book. Fun fact about Sierra N.C. Burton: She loves Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. I quote him regularly. My dad knew this and boy has this book been amazing. I've never really studied Psalms, read it yes, studied it no. But this is helping me see them in a whole new way and learn some new ideas and principles.

I picked up Persuasion because I realized I hadn't read all of Jane Austen's books yet and I was pretty disappointed in myself for that. So first stop, Persuasion. At first I really had a hard time getting into the book but I didn't give up and so far I'm enjoying it. It is your typical Victorian Era book, full of love, drama and etiquette. 

I think the title says it all. I'm excited to see how this book will help me living a more full life!
