As you’ve all noticed, the posting here has been less consistent, and I’m just noticing that I totally missed November??? I had been thinking for a while of ending this at the end of this year, and that’s further confirmation.
I have enjoyed reading through your Nightstand lists, and am thankful for those of you have come back month after month.
Link up below! And feel free to keep posting your monthly roundups on your own sites.
How is your reading life going? I have rediscovered my love of audiobooks, and because of that, I have “read” more books this month than I have in many recent months, combining a few in print with several on audio.
I’m on the road taking my daughter to college, but lookee here — on time again! We’ve both been enjoying some reading time as we switch off driving.
Second verse, same as the first. Again, I am late. Again, I thank a devoted participant for asking.
I have actually set the July one up, so there will be no snafus — July 31!
Two months in a row of almost totally flaking out. I do apologize. I appreciate those of you who faithfully post and those who like to read through!
I will chalk this up to summer brain, but I did figure out that I haven’t been including it on my private monthly schedule that has review dates of blog tours and stuff, so I will get that back up there.
Please come back on June 26, and it will be up at midnight!!
Well here I am officially the latest I’ve already been for April Nightstand. I won’t offer excuses, and I’ll just let you link right up if anyone still wants to.
Here we are again. Spring has sprung! How is that affecting your reading? I do enjoy reading on my back patio, and I’m reading a real page-turner, so March has been good for me.
Link up your list as usual, and spend some time checking out others’ lists as well.
Oh dear, late again, but here it is!
I had a good start of “reading more” as I mentioned last month, but February has been taken up with an upcoming move and a crochet project, so we’ll see if I get back in. I at least like to live vicariously through each of you.
Link up your list as usual, and spend some time checking out others’ lists as well.
How is your 2018 reading life going? Mine is going GREAT. Even though I still read more than the average person last year, I know for certain I read fewer books than I’ve read in the last 5 or 10 years. I set a goal of 50 for this year, which is half of what I read in my peak, but still more than last year. I am currently reading my fourth book, with a couple of nonfiction books in progress (which is how I always read my nonfiction), so I’d say I’m on my way.

Oops — late again! I still have holiday brain, but I’d love to hear about books you received that have made it on your TBR pile or those you’ve finished up to make way for new.
It’s that time of the month again. Time to report on what you’re reading or what you want to read this month. I have to be honest that I’m still struggling with finding (or choosing) time to read. I’ve been reading some interesting non-fiction about personalities and the like, and I enjoy that, but I don’t sit down for hours like I would with a novel.
So inspire me — tell me what you’ve enjoyed.
We’ll be here the day after Christmas to hear how the rest of your holiday reading went.
Welcome to a boootiful Halloween edition of What’s on Your Nightstand.
I’m sure there won’t be much quiet reading tonight. You might be taking your own kids around the block to collect candy, and then dealing with the sugar high for the rest of the evening. You might be hopping up and down to answer the door to hand out candy, or maybe you will be fixated on the World Series Game (Go ‘stros!).
Regardless of how much reading you do or don’t tonight, let us know what you read this month, or what you would like to read this upcoming month.
What have you been reading? I’d love to know.
I’ve had quite a few review deadlines, and I’ve been trying to balance them with some personal reads that I’ve been wanting to get to. So I’ve read some non-fiction, middle grade fiction, and a couple of genres of adult fiction. I really enjoy mixing it up like that. What about you? Do you stick to tried and true or vary your reading choices?
I’m going to have to call this the Harvey edition. I (Jennifer) am here in Houston. I am thankfully dry, but homebound. It was looking bad this morning, but it didn’t get worse. I’ve been reading some, but I can’t always read when I’m distracted.
Link up what you plan to read this month, or what you read last month, and feel free to make recommendations in the comments if you don’t have a blog.
Are you reading this summer??
I am, but in bits and spurts. I read a lot on vacation, and I’ve read in chunks here and there, but honestly, I’ve been doing a lot of crocheting, and playing some games and watching movies with my kids.
My daughter is home from college, so I am relishing any bit of time I get with her. We are actually reading together some, taking an hour on the sofa in the evening, or in the lounge chairs by the pool in the afternoon. She’s rediscovered her love of reading, and has actually been reading a lot more than I have this summer, and that makes me glad. We’ve actually been recommending books to each other, and I’m reading one that she recently enjoyed, which has been fun.
Link up what you plan to read this month, or what you read last month, and feel free to make recommendations in the comments if you don’t have a blog.
Do you have people who ask your for book recommendations? I do, and I always find myself stammering and stuttering. Resources like this help bring to mind books I keep hearing about and books that a certain type of reader might enjoy.

Summer is in full swing for me, including an upcoming vacation, for which I’m planning reads for myself, my 18-year-old daughter, and my 13-year-old son. I have been hooked on crochet for the past few months, so honestly — reading is more of a challenge for me, but summer is a perfect time for me to get back in the swing. I’ve already been more intentional about it the last month or so, and it’s been great.
I’d love to hear about your summer reading plans or reviews about your recent reads.
I’ve been in a pretty good reading pattern lately, mixing some review reading with some strictly-for-pleasure reading, and I think it’s just what the doctor ordered. Summer is right around the corner, and I am counting down the days to the looser schedule, which usually means more time for reading.

Sorry, faithful Nightstanders! Better late than never!
I have been spending much more time reading since my post last month. I didn’t get to the unsolicited memoir I mentioned, but I have almost completed the “just for fun” memoir thata has been on my Kindle forever, and I’m almost finsihed with another review memoir. I do tend to get lost in memoir, and sometimes that’s just what I need to kick start my reading.
I’d love to hear what you are reading. Please link up below!
It’s that time of the month again. How did this shortest month treat you and your reading habit? I am actually reading quite a bit more these days than I had been. We’ll see if it keeps up. I was on a streak after finishing a 5-star read-aloud with my son, and then finally FINALLY starting a book that I’ve had on my kindle forever, and that I think has been recommended by some of you before (Surprised by Oxford by Carolyn Weber).
I also received an unsolicited review copy that has me very curious: Pure Heart, a Spirited Tale of Grace, Grit and Whiskey. I don’t think I’ve ever sipped whiskey, but I love memoirs about change and family and interesting topics, and this one might hit all the marks.
