To be completely honest, not much has been on my nightstand since Benny was born (three weeks ago today! Unbelievable!).  I’m having a hard time focusing on anything right now, mostly because I’m terribly distracted by my iPad and Pinterest.  I could feel really guilty about that, but I’m choosing not to.  Seasons, right?  Instead, I’ll just list what I’ve read since last month’s Nightstand post and link to the reviews I’ve written: Maybe the fact that she’s had her nose stuck in these books the whole time we’ve been on this baby break from school counts for something in the first grade.  😉

Right now I have a couple of nonfiction titles in the works:  Unglued by Lisa TerKeurst and The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Schaeffer.  I’m reading the first for my own edification; the second I’m reading along with Cindy at Ordo Amoris for a bookclub.  (Well, I’ve always wanted to read it, so Cindy has provided the impetus.) This next month I plan to read Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell for the Reading to Know Bookclub because I’m the hostess!  🙂  We’d love to have you join in and read this Newbery winning title. Since last month’s Nightstand, I’ve shared my thoughts on a couple of read-alouds I’ve read to my children:  The Brave Little Toaster by Thomas M. Disch and The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald.  I’m currently reading aloud The Story of the Treasure Seekers by E. Nesbit, and I hope to have it finished in time to share my thoughts about it this Read Aloud Thursday. Beyond this, I won’t even venture a guess.  Either I’ll while away all my extra time (of which there is plenty since I’m nursing Benny every 2-3 hours) pinning all sorts of neat home projects I’d like to tackle, or I’ll rediscover my self-discipline and do some actual reading.  We shall see.  🙂

What’s on Your Nightstand?
