What’s On My Nightstand

Nightstand

Wow, I can’t believe it’s the end of the month already!  I just got a shipment of books from Amazon right before we left on our little vacation with dh, but surprisingly I didn’t read at all while we were away!  For one thing, even though it’s a 7 hour drive and I could finish a whole book in that time, I get car sick.  I so wish I didn’t!  Plus, the kiddos kept me busy the rest of the time, so all I really read was the room service menu and the pool rules sign lol.

100_8992 Okay, here is my current to be read pile of books.  I loved the first book in the Miss Read series so I ordered two more, though they aren’t in order, Over the Gate and Village Diary.  Then while shopping on Amazon I read reviews for The Reader (Kate Winslet just won an Oscar for her work in the movie) so I added it to the cart.  Plus The Devil in the Junior League just sounded like a fun read. :)  My purpose in ordering from Amazon was to get The Duggars: 20 and Counting.  I actually did read that before we left and I am so glad I did!  It is a delightful look into this unique family and a surprising page turner for non-fiction.  Hey, check out my Disney princesses hat hanging by my nightstand…cute, huh?  So there you go, my reading for the month.  I will hopefully get some finished and be able to provide reviews.  :)  Head over to 5 Minutes for Books for more book lover’s fun.

  6. I would like to read the book about the Duggers. Also, the Reader sounds very interesting, but I am afraid it might be too graphic for my tastes. Let me know your thoughts about it!

    Happy Reading!
