What’s on Your Nightstand, June 26

June 26, 2012 by Jennifer

I love the 4th Tuesday of each month when so many of you join us here to share what you’d like to read this month, or what you just finished reading. We’re happy to see each link that pops up, whether you show a picture of your big pile of books on your nightstand (or beside the bed or wherever it is) or if you tell about a great used bookstore shopping trip or a visit to the library that has given you lots to read.

I hope you enjoy it, too — both writing up your posts and visiting around to add to that never-ending to-be-read list, or to find some other book-loving blog friends.

If this is your first time participating, put “first time” beside your name when you link up, so that we can give you an extra-warm welcome.

Are your kids reading more this summer? Or perhaps you’re looking for ideas to keep them reading? We’d love for you to join us in our monthly Kids’ Picks carnival on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. The next one will be July 10. Come back and join us!

      I hope you do! I truly love it. Usually fewer people link up, but it’s really fun to see and get real-life kid recommendations.

    It’s been a few months since I wrote an update.
    My spring was just crazy. Now that summer’s here I need to catch up on my reading! Looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading!

      I have that book. I think I REVIEWED that book. Yes I did: http://books.5minutesformom.com/5268/book-by-book-the-complete-guide-to-creating-mother-daughter-bookclubs/

      I’ve never had one, but Amanda and I enjoy the series of fiction books: http://books.5minutesformom.com/11769/mother-daughter-bookclub-pies-and-prejudice-giveaway/

    I think this might be the first time I’ve done a nightstand post and had so little to report. Big books = short lists!

    Texas Charm by DiAnn Mills and Gone with the Groom by Janice Thompson are next! Hoping to also read Duty to the Dead by Charles Todd (thanks for the recommend!) and Murder on Sisters’ Row by Victoria Thompson.
