What's on Your Nightstand — July
It's here!
I can't tell you how excited your enthusiasm for this new monthly carnival has made me. I think it will be a blast to read around and see what is on everyone's nightstand: in progress, coming up soon, almost finished. . . .
The guidelines are simple:
- Write a post on your own blog (or feel free to play along in the comments if you don't have a blog).
- You can simply post a picture, or tell us how and when these books got into your to-be-read pile, or give a mini-review of the books in progress.
- Link up to this post (please use the permalink that will take us directly to that post, not the main page of your blog).
- Read around through the links and find out "What's on Their Nightstand?"
If you've followed someone else's post over here, and it's past Tuesday, feel free to go ahead and link up. There's no deadline.
Come back on fourth Tuesday of next month, August 26, to do it again!

This should be great fun, to see what everyone else is reading. Not that I need to add to my 'to be read' list!

Whew, I feel better! I used this link-up to clear off all the books that have been sitting around waiting for me to mention them to someone else.
#3 - Nancy @ 9:35 am
I've been waiting all week for this!
My goal for next month is clear off some of the pile.

"I read. A lot. And then I make lists of books I want to read. A lot. And I read most of the ones I end up getting quickly…most of the time. I find that I read fiction 50 times faster than non-fiction…"

Just discovered this site today, but I can assure you that I will be back for more. I love books, am an avid reader of books of many different kinds, and I love to get recommendations from new sources! I don't blog about books much, but I think your carnival will become a monthly "must do" for my blog.
So delighted to find you and participate in the first ever "What's on Your Nightstand?"!
#28 - Eile @ 7:42 am
Hi, I am very glad that you started this. I am looking forward to learning all about new books and sharing my thoughts as well.

You know I love talking books! So my carnival post is up with my current reads.
#30 - Rachel Langston @ 8:36 pm
VERY shortly after I got home from the library with my "substitute" books, I got a message saying the ones I reserved were ready.
I like the reserved ones better!
#31 - Marianne Thomas @ 11:52 pm
What a fun idea! I'll definitely be back next month, too!
Will be back to cruise everyone else's nightstands!

For some reason, my laptop does not like Mr Linky widgets, but it does OK with the regular Mr Linky. I am signing up for What's On Your Nightstand. Judy

I am interested in this "activity", for lack of a better word. I know that you have others, too, but I just can't find them. Judy
