What are your three favorite books of all time?
I love it!! It is so fun to hear about your family! We love to do Disneyland so maybe we should meet up next time we're in the area!:) I love that your little girl sings. It is fun to see their personalities develop! I'm enjoying teaching my kiddo's to harmonize with me now that they are getting older!:)
I don't know if I'm allowed to say the Book of Mormon, because that would be my actual favorite but it sounds kind of funny mixed in with my other choices. Aside from so many great church books, it is really hard for me to choose favorite books though I do have a #1 for sure. I am a huge Jane Austin fan and love her writing though I'm not always in the mood for it. Meaning that sometimes I am just in the mood for an easier read. My favorite of hers is "Pride and Prejudice". I love stories, books and movies from that era!
I also have enjoyed the Harry Potter series. My husband and I started reading them together, a few years after the first one came out and have kind of made it, I guess a strange but fun tradition to read them when each came out then watch the movies together. He will sadly be in Iraq when this last movie comes out this summer so I'll be waiting till he gets back to see it.:) We are not like huge, crazy fanatics but we have enjoyed the series.
We have a tradition of reading books or listening to books on tape while driving rather than watching movies. I have found that my kids are much happier and get along a lot better when we do that. The reason I mention that is that many of the books I have read recently are ones that my kids would enjoy and that, lots of times, have a movie that has been made of the book that my kids have not seen yet. that way, when we're done reading the books we can watch the movie and compare and contrast the two. A few of the last ones that we've really liked include: City of Ember, Ella Enchanted, Fairest, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, No Talking, James and the Giant Peach and Where the Red Fern Grows. For those that have movies, we've all decided that we like the books much better than the movies in most cases.
After the kids fall asleep, while driving, Jason and I love a good old Agatha Christy novel to keep us alert on the road.:)
I would love for you to answer the same question and, while we're on favorites; what are five things you want to accomplish that you have not already done?
