MT. AIRY WARD RELIEF SOCIETY'S BEST BOOK LIST (1st Edition, 1998; revised 2002) Compiler: Katherine Padilla Contributors: Barbara (Damascus Ward), Gertrude, Jackie, Marilyn, Naomi, Carole, Amy, Christina, Kathy, Rachel, Valerie, Judy, Linda, Janice Note on List: My aim in preparing this list has been to provide you and your families with the titles of books that meet Church standards, i.e. books with limited foul language and that do not contain immoral themes, pornography, or excessive violence. The contributors made the decisions on what books meet the criteria. In classifying the titles below, I used the information given to me by the contributors. Where that information was lacking, I went to a variety of sources, listed in the bibliography. COMPLETE LIST OF FICTION Adams, Richard, Watership Down, Janice Aird, Catherine, Henrietta Who?
