What’s on Your Nightstand — August 24

August 24, 2010 by Jennifer

What books are sitting on your nightstand — or coffee table or in your bathroom in your e-reader or on your ipod? What books are you looking forward to reading this month when you get a nice chunk of time?

Will back-to-school impact your reading for the month? I think that it will for me, but I’m not sure how. With my son starting first grade, this is the first year I’ll have both kids in school full time. I also am hoping to get more work from home done, so while I envision myself reading away the hours on my back deck or front porch in the warm-but-not-hot September days, I’m not sure that’s reality.

That remains to be seen, but a girl can dream. I’ve made my list (see the linky below). Have you made yours? We invite you to write up a quick list, take a picture, do a mini review of a book you’ve just completed — whatever you like. This is a freestyle carnival, but one that brings booklovers together!

    I’m in for the first time in awhile! Looking forward to reading others’ lists.

    Back-to-school always impacts my reading since I homeschool so it’s a busier time of year. But I still make time for reading. Hope you can, too, and won’t work too much extra since both your kids are in school (enjoy!). Reading on the back deck or front porch sounds so inviting.

    I’m new here! I like this idea very much; hopefully I’ll be able to find some other good reads because of it. 🙂

      LOL Jennifer — be careful what you wish for. . . .

      Yes, indeed you’ll be able to get lots of ideas about books to read.

    Seems like everyone is reading Raising Girls. I guess, I will have to find it and put it on my list!

    Oh yes, back to school very much affects my reading since I’m right there with the kiddos, teaching them all about the library and the wonderful books we have to offer. Read a ton of picture books this week but hope to read a bit more for myself next week.

    How exciting! I picked some challenging titles this month in celebration of “back to school,” even though I am not a student. 😉

    This is my first time linking up, just created a blog last week, so this is only my second post. I know i’m a day late, but i thought i’d still join in. I love looking at other people’s TBR piles.
