A Marvelous Work and a Wonder

This book doesn't have an inscription, but it does have a memory reminder. I like the idea of books to remember people. This isn't even a library book though; it doesn't have a stamp that it belongs to any particular church or organization. Perhaps some individual wanted to remember someone.

 

Inscription reads: "In memory of Luh M. Burke. 8/19/35 - 9/11/83"

But For a Small Moment

I don't think this book was ever read. When I opened it, it made that splitting sound that new books sometimes make when the spine is cracked. It also smells brand new even though it was gifted in 1987.

 

Inscription reads: "1987. Dear Elder Firl, May God Bless you always, and you have a happy, healthy future. Eileen and Henry Smith"

If Tomorrow Comes

A few years back all the rage in books was apocalyptic themes. I love a good apocalyptic movie but not so much in books. Probably because I like the visual thrill of watching buildings collapse and natural disasters occur.

This is an end of the world book. I don't think a person needs to be religious to enjoy reading a book about the apocalypse.

 

Inscription reads: "Shawna & James, A cannot put it down book! Love Cheryl, Dennis, Sonja & Chandra"

The Book of Mormon

With the exception of dictionaries, I wonder if scripture books are the most well written in books out there. Passages underlined and notes in the margins; plus I come across a lot of inscribed bibles.

This is book is from Nana. I want to be Nana when I have grand kids.

 

Inscription reads: "1-15-06. To Drew, Study this well. I love you. Nana"
