What’s on Your Nightstand — November

This is the “slapped up in a hurry” version. Has the tryptophan from the turkey already kicked in? If you don’t know the drill, please read our What’s on Your Nightstand page. Theoretically this should have gone up at midnight (on odd-numbered months), and it goes up at 7:00am on even-numbered months). I think that…

What’s on Your Nightstand — October

Wet fall weather and cooler temps should invite nothing more than cozying up with a good book, but that hasn’t really been the case for me and many other of my bookish friends. What about you? Is your Nightstand full because you aren’t getting to the books you want to read? Or perhaps you keep…

What’s on Your Nightstand? — August

Many kids are going back to school now. I don’t know if that will increase your reading time, or decrease it as a result of more general activities starting back up.

What’s on Your Nightstand — March

The fourth Tuesday of each month when I write up this post, I always feel like saying, “By now you know the drill. Link up. Browse the other entries (go spend money on more books).” However, it seems that each month we have a few new people joining in, and that thrills me! I want…
