I'm Curious... What are you Reading?

-
What are you reading? What is the most recent book you have read? Do you like it? Would you recommend it to someone else?

Here is what I would like from you (yes, you, the one who is reading this blog right now):

  1. Click on the link below that says "comments".
  2. Write the name of the book you are reading right now (or most recently finished).
  3. On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being you really like it, 1 you hate it, rate the book and type the number.
  4. Write yes or no, whether or not you would recommend the book to someone else, like me.
  5. If you have any additional comments about the book you can type them, too.
For example, here's mine:
The Dragon Reborn, 5, yes. This is the third book of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, and I am reading this series for the second time.

If you are the type that has multiple books in progress at the same time, feel free to list all the books you are reading. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Dad and I are reading a novel called "Where Dreams Meet". We're about a third of the way through the book and we're enjoying it although the chapters are kind of long so we have only been reading one chapter a day. Can't really rate it yet or know to recommend it yet. You'll have to wait until we finish it. :)

    I just finished reading The Alchemyst, the first of The Secrets of Nocholas Flamel. I don't know if you've read it, but it sounds like the kind of book that you and your children have probably read. I give it a 5, and yes I recommend it.
    I just started reading the second Fablehaven book, I know you've already read those. I also give it a 5.
    I'm also about halfway through reading Remembering Isaac. I give it a 5, and highly recommend it.
    Dean and I have been reading Earth Afire by Orson Scott Card. It's the second book of a prequel to the Ender's Game series, covering the first formic war that happened a hundred years before. I give it a 4.5, I enjoy the story, but it's got a little bit of language that's annoying. I would recommend it to people who have read and enjoyed the Ender's Game series.

    That is too funny.. I'm reading "The Fires of Heaven" right now, the 5th book in the Wheel of time series.. I'd give it a 4, only because it is sooo long. I just don't have the time right now to finish it.. I'm about half way through. A very good series though thus far.

    The last book i had time to read was "the Host", which like the Twilight series i found entertaining and enjoyed reading for the most part but it's not really one of those books that i just loved so i'd probably rate it at a 3 or 3.5. Before that i read the "Matched" series, which again i enjoyed but probably would give them only a 3.5 or 4. :)

A Talk about Gratitude

-
I recently told my bishop that I enjoyed giving talks in Sacrament Meeting, and it is true. I didn't expect, however, that I would get an email from a bishopric member on Thursday last week to say that his talks for Sunday had to leave town, and would I be willing to speak? Here is the talk that I gave on Sunday, May 27th, 2012: For my topic today, I was given a talk which was given by President Monson in 1992, entitled “An Attitude of Gratitude”. In his talk President Monson begins by telling the story of the 10 lepers. I would like to share it with you. In Luke 17 we read: And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” And when he saw them, he said unto them, “Go show yourselves unto the priests.” And it came to pass, that, as they went, ...

How Clean is Clean Enough?

How clean is "clean enough"? I realize this question is loaded and the answers are very individual, so for a moment, think about yourself and your home and consider, for you, how clean is "clean enough"? What is the difference between a "quick clean", a "daily clean" and a "deep clean"? At what point do you consider your home "clean enough"? Does "clean enough" mean having a clear path from the front door to the other rooms in the house? Is it having the clutter picked up and the floors vacuumed? Must it be dusted every week, every month, or at all? Is it a quick swipe on the surface to remove the dust or crumbs? Is it a scrub with disinfectant? Is it clearing tables and desks, or delving into cupboards and drawers, purging and organizing?    Does it depend on the day of the week? Is "clean enough" on a weekday the same as "clean enough" on a weekend? If not, is it more clean, or less? Is there a...

School closing, Josh adventures, Back pain relief...

-
On Wednesday school was cancelled all over the Denver area because there was a credible threat that an 18 year old woman with a fixation on the Columbine shooting would attack a school. Apparently she arrived in Denver and bought a gun and then vanished, so they shut down everything just in case. (They found her body later that day... She committed suicide. More info here .) John was frustrated that school was cancelled because one acts are coming up (they are this week!) and he needed the rehearsal time. Instead, John took advantage of the free day to go to School of Mines to check out the campus and talk to someone about getting his admission deferred. I got a ride to my book club, and both of us were home again before Josh and Peter rolled out of bed. Early in the afternoon I took Josh to Children's Hospital to see a cardiologist about his seizures . They did an EKG, but the results were normal. He doesn't have a heart murmur or anything else they could identify. I still thi...
