i don't know about you, but finding a good book to read is one of the best things ever. i've mentioned this amazing book list, and a few of you have really wanted me to post it on my blog. i wish i had time to list ALL of the books...but that would take me forever. so here's a list of kristin pierce's personal favorites {she's the lady that taught the class i went to}. the title is first, {author is in the brackets}, *and if i have any input, it's between these*
wintergirls {anderson, l} *author of speak*

Oh FYI my cousin is in the MTC and he's going to Indonesia and apparently one of his teachers plays on the BYU soccer team. I'm assuming Danny knows him :-) The Teachers name is Bro. Bindrup.
ReplyDeleteOH and Ryan and I are coming down to SLC on Saturday for a wedding. We would LOVE to see you. We aren't planning on staying over night because we need to be back on Sunday for church...but is there any chance of seeing you guys Saturday from like 2-6? Either meet us in SLC or we can meet you guys half way....? Let me know! Can't wait!
Awesome list. I've read some of them, and most of the others have been on my list for a while. So, I was on facebook just now, and Kelsey commented on Brian's stop motion movies he's done. I took a peek and...they're great! What a talented little brother you have. I'm sure you knew that though. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Jessie! I saw you on campus yesterday down by the testing center. I was driving and you were walking (and reading!) so I didn't say hi, but I saw you and you were so cute! Love you!!
ReplyDeleteThe Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld is amazing. I absolutely loved it!
