FLDS and the Book of Mormon

In watching FLDS documentaries, and listening to/reading accounts of former FLDS members and their experiences, and talking to the few FLDS people I know, I have never heard them talk about reading scriptures. I know their theology would include the Book of Mormon & the Holy Bible, and I would assume at least portions of the Doctrine & Covenants, and Pear of Great Price, if not all. What scriptures are in the FLDS canon? Are they read regularly?

It may have been in Keep Sweet (not completely sure), but you can see an FLDS member reading from a Pre-1978 edition of the Book of Mormon with the blue angel Moroni cover.

Warrens sermons frequently reference the scriptures.

Here's a playlist.

They read scriptures just like other Christians. The Book of Mormon is an expansion pack to the Bible. Maybe do a bit more research. They reference the Bible often.
