My kids went back to school yesterday. I had hoped to get several reviews written, but as is always the case, I ended up losing the first day. I didn’t read any pages either.
However, judging from the bounty of books that has arrived on my doorstep in the mail over the last two weeks — many of them unsolicited, but so compelling — I need to get reading.
I’m sure I won’t get to them all this month, but check out my Nightstand post, linked below to see what I have to choose from. I’m just going to read what I want to read, and I think that I’m going to try to refrain from requesting anymore for at least a few weeks.
What about you? Do you have several books to choose from? Or maybe you have a very strict first in-first out policy. We’d love to hear about it. Write up a post and link below, or tell us in the comments.
Would you like to share what your kids are 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 September 11. Come back and join us!

I do have several books to choose from. I don’t have a policy about what to read next unless I am in a specific reading challenge — it just goes by what seems appealing next.

I always have several books to choose from–and generally choose on a whim rather than using any system. Although I do find myself prioritizing library books when I get down to a week before I have to return them 🙂

I just discovered the blogging realm and my book buying habit is getting worse! I’m discovering so many great books 🙂 This coming month I’m going to read Robinson Crusoe for a reading event and I’m trying to read a book a month that I already own (backlog).

I’m excited about my stack of books! Course my stack runneth over and my reading…well that’s another story!

I also have several to choose from…often for review and for fun. 🙂 I have a couple I want to read from the library, too, but tend to not get them since I have plenty on hand.
I also tend to read one fiction and one nonfiction at the same time.

My stack runneth over as well. It is hard to keep on track….there is just too much good stuff coming out at one time!
