I am the mother to 4 little tater tots. I read to them every night and buy a ridiculous amount of used books.
Emily at Homespun Light posted a list of 100 Top Picture Books a few months ago and we’ve been slowly checking some of them out from the library. Here are a few that we’d never heard of before and loved.
(I had heard of this and read it when I was little, but we’d never read it to our boys)
Here are a few books that we already own and love.
And a few we might add to the list:
I read this book 3 years ago and really enjoyed it. I just found the movie trailer at imdb.com and some people commented on how much sappier it looks than the book. The book had a lot of foul language, so I don’t care if it’s sappier. Every time I watch the trailer I’m more excited to see it!
(Some comments were saying they didn’t want it to be like The Notebook and didn’t know why they picked Lifehouse music – but I loved The Notebook and love Lifehouse music!)
I finally joined goodreads. I’ve been using LibraryThing for a few years to keep track of my books, but once you have over 200 books it’s no longer free, so I decided to export them to goodreads. I liked LibraryThing just fine; I just didn’t want to pay any money. I’ve gotten at least 5 free books through LibraryThing to review, so I will probably keep my account up to date there.

I recently read three stories by a young adult author, Janette Rallison, that I really enjoyed. She focuses on high schoolers and the reading is just light, funny, and clean (I think she’s LDS). I read the first two books in possibly one sitting (late into the night). Her third book took a little longer to get into since it was slightly different from her other ones.
My favorite one so far is:
Then this one:
This last one was more of a fantasy book and started off a little boring for me, but got better halfway through.
I think they’re fun books to read on vacation. She has at least 5 other YA books out that I’m hoping to read this summer. And apparently (after visiting her blog) she also writes books under the name Sierra St. James. Who knew?
