What’s on Your Nightstand — March 2011

March 22, 2011 by Jennifer

I’m back, baby! A few riveting books, a good reading month overall last month, and finally getting (mostly) unpacked and getting resettled here in Houston has reminded me why I love reading so much.

I know from reading all of your Nightstand posts that a lot of you feel the same bit of encouragement.

So keep it up! Set some goals or gloat about goals accomplished in the last month. Let’s hear What’s on Your Nightstand!

    Love this meme. I say that every month but it’s true. It’s so much fun!

      I missed a few at the end of 2010, so you’re excused 🙂 and Welcome Back!

    Hey, Jen–I didn’t know you were from Houston (I live in Baytown). Are you planning on going to the Houston Indie Festival?

    • Jennifer says

      Jennifer–I just moved back in December! I think I’m going to be out of town that weekend, but thanks for asking.

      You should fill out our Houston Book Blogger form. We had a little get together earlier this month and it was fun. There was one other gal from Baytown and some others more on the east side, so we might try to meet out that way next time.

    Hello Jennifer,
    My post is a day late but I didn’t want to miss doing a post about the books I’m reading….by the way, my Honey Bear is in Houston today…He is there quite often because the US headquarters for his company are there…maybe if I’m there with him sometime, we could meet…

      No problem–there’s no cutoff, although we are more likely to see it if you leave a comment, so thanks for that!

      And yeah, I always love to talk books, so let me know if you end up down my way.

    […] 5 Minutes for Books runs a ton of reading challenges.  What’s On Your Nightstand is a monthly recap of what you are reading, have read and want to read in the next month.  I’ve tried doing this before and always fall short of my goals because I get so sidetracked.  Books that weren’t on my list at all end up being read while some on the list get pushed aside and so on.  But…I’ll give it a whirl again because it is fun.  Plus I like talking about books.
