What's On Your Nightstand?
{We want to know what your reading stack looks like. What are sitting on your nightstand because you are hoping to get to them this month? Or if you’d prefer, what books are sitting there waiting to be reshelved or returned to the library because you finished them this month?}
This was actually supposed to be posted last Tuesday Oct. 23rd, but I had forgotten that I wanted to try it this month. So I'm a little late, but it's still the same week, so it counts right? I'm counting it. Anyway, here's what's on my nightstand, or more like, what's on my bedroom floor by my bed.
These are all library books that are due pretty soon. I'd better get to reading huh? :)
Currently reading: Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters (Loving it so far!)
To re-read: Unforgettable by Trish Perry (I read this one months ago. The "new" sticker is a little deceptive. Saw it at the library and decided it was worth a reread to see if I liked it as well the second time around.)
To read: Yesterday's Stardust by Becky Melby (This one actually is new! Didn't realize until I clicked over to goodreads that this is #2 in a series. But it looks like #1 is about a different character, so it shouldn't be a problem to read out of sync. Here's hoping!)
Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin (A friend suggested this one. Said it seemed like just the sort of book I'd like. With a recommendation like that, of course I have to try it!)
Faith Bass Darling's Last Garage Sale by Lynda Rutledge (The title itself intrigued me. We'll see whether the story lives up to the title or not.)
There you have it! Click over to 5 Minutes For Books and see what's on everyone else's nightstands. :)
Toodle-loo kangaroos! Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to read more Lynn Austin. I enjoyed a couple of her books years ago. This one does look good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in! You might not get as many visitors since it's late, but maybe if you visit some of the others, you still will. It's a nice little community.
Jennifer--5 Minutes for Books
Thanks Jennifer! I figured I may not get many visitors, but I figured if I didn't go ahead and post it, I would forget again next month. :) It does seem like a fun community.
DeleteI always read library books quicker than my own books. Something about that due date that presses in on me. ha. (hmm....maybe I should give myself a due date for my own books.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your list! This is one of my favorite memes. Hope to see you back next month.
Yes, that due date certainly pressures me to get the books read! Especially if I've renewed the total amount of times they allow me and I HAVE to return it this time. :)
DeleteI hope to do this again. And maybe next month I'll actually post on the right day. ;)
Nice stack of books!!
ReplyDeleteRight now I only got two books on my nightstand: Married by Morning and Blue Eyed Devil both by Lisa Kleypas. I just felt like re-reading some old faves.
Re-reading old faves is great fun! I love to re-read stories, sometimes I even find something I may have missed the first time or three I read it.
DeleteLet's see on my nightstand is Rumi, Lavinia, The Warrior Heir and Once and Always. I'm in various stages of reading these lol
ReplyDeleteI seem to have two or three stories going at the same time also! I used to only read one, finish, then on to the next. But anymore it seems I have to start a new one immediately even if I'm already reading something! :)
DeleteGreat list! I really like Lynn Austin. Her books are usually very good.
ReplyDeleteHappy November reading!
My friend insisted I needed to read this one, so I hope to get to it soon. I've really enjoyed some of Lynn Austin's other stories, so I'm sure I'll like it. Thank you so much for stopping by! :)
