What are you reading this month? What did you just finish? Let us know. Tempt all of our reading tastebuds as you give us a list of what you’re reading and why. Then visit around. You just might find a kindred reading spirit.
I THINK that Mr. Linky’s troubles are fixed. I think that we are going to still go with leaving links in the comments for our other Tuesday community events to encourage non-bloggers to join in as well, but we need to use the Linky for ease in surfing the links for What’s on Your Nightstand.
Link directly to your post below (not to your front page). If the Linky happens not to be there, then please link in the comments.
As always thanks for joining in, and come back for our upcoming Tuesday events:
- Next Tuesday, June 30, is our I Read It carnival. Come back and share your reviews of books that you’ve read that were featured here or on 5 Minutes for Mom.
- Check in with us on July 7 to see what our very first “comment carnival” is all about.
- July 14 our Children’s Classics topic is Field Trips (books that inspire a field trip)
- Our next bookclub is Rebecca on August 4
- We’re thinking about using our off-month of September to add in another contemporary pick — this time we’re thinking about Rooftops of Tehran. You can check out my review to see why I loved this book. If you think that you might want to join in, leave us a comment. We’ll make a decision based on interest.

My list seems skimpy this month! Thanks for hosting.
I’m up for Rooftops of Tehran! 🙂
I just read “My Cleaner” which tells the story of a repressed, uptight English woman, her depressed son, and the Ugandan woman who used to be their cleaner and who returns to help. It’s really funny and quite telling as well. I really enjoyed it.
Also, a couple of months ago now, I read “Finding Nouf.” It’s a murder mystery set amongst Saudi Arabia’s rich families. I really enjoyed it. It’s well written PLUS it gives a fascinating glimpse into a different culture.
And I’d love to read “Rooftops of Tehran” and you never know–I might be able to find a copy of it somewhere in Rabat. Stranger things have happened 🙂 If so, I’ll join in; if not, I’ll just read about it.
From Dawn: Those sound a bit different and really interesting– thanks for the recommendations!
I noticed I had leftovers from my May list. Oh well. 🙂 Thanks for hosting this. It’s good for me to take inventory periodically.
I might not have posted the What’s on your Nightstand icon correctly but when I click on it, it goes to http://books.5minutesformom.com/89/whats-on-your-nightstand
when you read this article it says, If you are looking for this month’s nightstand click here. But when you click you get September’s link. Is there any way to fix that where it always goes to the current month?
From Dawn: If you replace the link with this url: http://books.5minutesformom.com/1491/whats-on-your-nightstand-june/trackback/ it should work for you! Thanks for joining us!
Okay, I’m new at this. I put the wrong URL in Mr. Linky. How do I fix that?
I’m a bit late this month but I just put my selection up. Thanks for hosting this challenge! 🙂
This is my first time participating, but I’ve been reading what you all have been reading for awhile!
