What’s on Your Nightstand, May 22

May 22, 2012 by Jennifer

With only a week left of school for my kids, I can genuinely say that summer is right within sight. I’m SO excited about the slower pace and time out at the pool, which always equals more reading time to me. I’ve had a month in which I couldn’t read as much, so we’ll see if I “catch up” or not.

What about you? Are you still in full swing this Spring? Or is Summer busier than ever for you? Whether you anticipate a big reading month ahead or a sparse one, we invite you to link up and share what’s on your nightstand — either books you’ve recently finished or books that you are hoping to read next. And then don’t forget to visit around to see what others are reading.

    Our summer has already started, and it’s definitely shaping up to be a quiet, relaxing summer with plenty of time for reading! Which is good, because I’ve got a lot of reading on my plate!

    I just started doing “What’s on Your Nighstand.” Looking forward to finding other fun reads!

    I’m reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner currently and have Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo next on the pile!

      I think I’d enjoy the Maze Runner as well, although I’ve heard it’s pretty brutal.

    I almost missed it! The months with 5 Tuesdays often throw me off, plus we’ve had a busy last few days, but thankfully I made it. 🙂 Thanks for hosting this every month: it’s one of my favorite online activities.

      Yes–it was VERY early this month

    Jennifer, you’re right. It’s brutal. Couldn’t read the last bit as it was just too much. Don’t you hate it when the last part of a book is not what you wanted? On to something better!
