I know I've written before about how much I love to read when the kids are in bed. For me, it is very relaxing because the house is quiet and I can just sit in my pjs and enjoy a story. And because I read for fun and to de-stress, all the books I like are pretty light reads. I don't really want to read about world problems or wars, or anything else depressing, I just want a good, clean, fun story. And so I read a lot of books. Here are a few that I have read these past few months that are really good:
Drops of Gold by Sarah M. Eden
I love this author! But this is one of my favorite by her. If you like Edenbrooke (which of course you do, because everyone likes that book), I think you will like this book. This is a regency book that I had a hard time putting down. I really loved this one.
A Change of Fortune by Jen Turano
This is a debut novel by a new author. This is a Christian, Regency novel. I was surprised at how charming I found the characters in this book. Definitely a fun read!
The Tutor's Daughter by Julie Klassen
This is another Regency book. (I just realized that all of these books are in the Regency era-it's a popular genre right now.) This is also a Christian author, and there is "born again" moment at the end. I like this author and I thought this was one of her better ones. I like reading Christian authors because they are usually so clean. You can actually buy this one at Deseret Book too.
The Continuous Atonement by Brad Wilcox
Along with reading my scriptures, I like to read a book that helps me understand doctrine better. I find that this enhances my scripture study. This book was a book that I had heard a lot about and for good reason. It really changes the way I view the Atonement. I will probably read this one often. The message is so hopeful.
So if you come by after 8 pm, you know what I will probably be doing. :)
