What’s on Your Nightstand, June 25

June 25, 2013 by Jennifer

Well, my summer has started off just as I hoped it would. I’ve gotten in lots of reading time. After reading a few middle grade novels, I got in a bit of a slump, because what was left on my pile was heavier memoirs and fiction, and I wanted something lighter. But then I looked on the shelf that had all the “surprise” books — books I didn’t request and thus know nothing about — but that showed up on my doorstep, and I found Courting Greta, which was just what the doctor ordered. I spent many hours over that weekend just looking for a reason to read, whether I was lounging on my couch or floating around at the pool.

What about you? How’s your summer reading going? How are the perfect books finding their way into your hands? Write up a little post (or join in in the comments) and let us know!

Looking for ideas? Check out our current giveaways. We have several great middle grade novels and books for you too!

    Thanks for hosting! It was a slow month for me, but that’s the way it goes.

    I’ve noticed my reading time has dwindled since my son got out of school. I’d thought the opposite would be true but with two kids at home now and no school curfews, we’ve been staying up later and life has been more fun than books – when does that happen? I’ve still managed to get in some great reading time though!

    I’ve been reading more this summer! I think because I have been ignoring the tv a lot. 🙂

    I’m catching up on some books I’ve been wanting to read and reviews, too.
