What’s on Your Nightstand — October

October 28, 2008 by Jennifer

What's On Your Nightstand

It’s time for our most popular carnival once again — the 4th Tuesday “What’s on Your Nightstand?” event. I hope that you are taking time to visit some of the people and see what they are reading and getting to know the other booklovers in our community (FYI, the third Tuesday is Kids’ Picks, which is sort of a kid-sized version of Nightstand — what your kids have enjoyed that month, so if you have reading kiddos, browse the links and consider joining in next month).

If you’ve followed another link here, you can find out all about our community events by reading the Join In page at the top of the sidebar.

As a reminder, you can participate here in a variety of ways:

  1. Share a list of books you hope to read this month, with or without a picture of the stack.
  2. Go into a bit of detail about what you’re reading and why. How did a particular book come to be on your nightstand? Why are you reading this book this month?
  3. Give a few quick reviews of books that you read over the past month.
  4. So, now it’s your turn. Link up and share “What’s on Your Nightstand?” Please link to the direct post, NOT your main page. If you enter the wrong link, you can email me or leave a comment, and I can delete it. You can also delete it yourself by refreshing the page and then clicking on the smiley face that should appear next to the link that you entered.

    If you don’t have a blog, feel free to leave us a comment with your Nightstand list.

    Thank for hosting this fun monthly carnival. My goal is not to pick up any of the recommended books from the Library, just write them on my TBR list! ;o)

    I’ve been waiting for this carnival again! Although this month, I didn’t do as well reading the books on my list. I got sidetracked by some books I saw recommended in this carnival last month. 🙂 Oh, well. So many books, so little time.

    This is my first month, too! I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else is reading / has read… I’m always looking for new authors.

    I wish my lists were as extensive as some of yours, but I can guarantee that my WISH list is far more extensive than the list of books I own!

    Very fun to do this for my second month and see how I did on my reading list. Thanks!

    I can’t believe it, this is the second Tuesday I’ve completely missed out on something here. I’ve been so busy this month that I’m finally beginning to catch up with my feed reader.

    I hope I’ll be back to joining in on Tuesdays next month.
