And I think I heard someone else say the Black Heels and Tractor Wheels was pretty hilarious. Funny books are sort of hard to find so I will have to take a look at that. And I also started Les Mis like a year or two ago and got a good chunk through...and then school and work caught up with me and I've never finished it! You're right, I can't believe I've never read it either. So we'll have to read it together!!

And surprisingly, I loved Elizabeth Smart's "My Story." The story was well told, and I cannot believe her strength. Amazing. Ok, I've taken up enough comment space! I'm done!

I have the same goal to read more this year instead of doing who knows what while I'm nursing the baby... So keep posting what you're reading! I need all the good ideas I can get. One of my all time favorites is "Heaven is Here" by Stephanie Nielson. It's the story of the life of an LDS lady leading up to and after she was in a nearly fatal airplane crash. That sounds boring, but seriously, it is extremely uplifting and her perspective on motherhood and getting through trials is so great. Also, "Black Heels and Tractor Wheels" by Ree Drummond (the Pioneer Woman) is really cute and entertaining. It's the story of how she met her husband and their first year of marriage. When I was reading it Sam would constantly ask me what was so funny. And have you read "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand yet? I haven't read it yet, but it's on my list for this year. Everyone that has read it says it's really good. It's the story of a young man that is trapped in a Japanese war camp during WWII, among other things. I agree with Kami on The Hiding Place by Corrie TenBoom - it has been a favorite since I read it in junior high! It's about a Christian lady who hides Jews during WWII. I also loved Man's Search for Meaning, that Kami mentioned. And in the spirit of WWII/Holocaust, "Night" by Elie Wiesel is very very good, and short. Right now I am in the middle of Les Miserables (how have I never read it before?!) and I just started "Christlike Parenting" by Glenn Latham. So there is kind of a random array of books for you. Hopefully one of them will be what you're looking for!Heidi Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985358383805479923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770737001218647577.post-29028347973259543852016-03-01T19:38:43.024-08:002016-03-01T19:38:43.024-08:00In the spirit of what you said about nonfiction be...In the spirit of what you said about nonfiction being good for the soul, I've really been wanting to read Man's Search for Meaning and A Man Called Peter, and I love love love The Hiding Place if you haven't read it yet (all of which are actually a perfect fit with the social history of the WWII period too!)Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908784403880649589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770737001218647577.post-60476014399832582822016-03-01T14:34:56.108-08:002016-03-01T14:34:56.108-08:00That was my EXACT opinion of All the Light.
