What’s on Your Nightstand?
Over at 5 Minutes for Books, they’re doing a new carnival about the books we’re all reading. Now, they suggest taking a photo of your nightstand where you stack your books, but that’s way too personal for me. Geez, you’d see a baggie full of Sharpies, some recently finished but not yet mailed jewelry, a half empty (full?) Diet Cranberry Raspberry Snapple, and a some photos of me through the years amongst the books. No need exposing anyone to that, now is there?
But… it’s a fun idea. So, here goes… the books I want to read between now and this time next month.
1. “Savannah Blues” by Mary Kay Andrews - love the Weezie stories
2. “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert - I’ve already started this one, but I’m hoping to finish it soon.
3. an unnamed insurance textbook - I was supposed to have read this (and tested on it) back in May. Obviously, I’m a teensy bit behind. I’d like to get this as close to finished as possible so that I don’t have it hanging over me during the holidays.
4. “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen - this is the next book Griff’s gifted teacher is going to have them read, and I try to keep up with them.
Now, we’re also supposed to say when we read these books. Are they serious?! Um, while overseeing homework, after the kids go to bed, at the salon (oh, how I love those coloring appointments!). Snippets of time stolen from other things. Isn’t that how all moms read?
So, go read.

My ‘to be read’ books can’t fit on my nightstand, what with the lamp, candles, incense, cups, tissues, and general crap. lol
I just finished Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt, loved it. Now I’m reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, everyone else is raving so I just had to see what all the fuss was about.
I read and loved Eat, Pray, Love about a month ago.
I read during quiet moments at work, when waiting in line to pick up the rugrats from school, and as I’m going to sleep. And any other spare moments I have (ha ha).
Trust me, there was other general crap that I didn’t mention.
How funny! I just finished Jane Eyre at my hair coloring appt last night! Seriously, where else can a working mom find a couple of hours of uninterrupted time?
Yep. That’s pretty much it.
LOL, I started the carnival, and I don’t always show pictures either. Thanks for joining in.
