What's on your nightstand?I know y'all might be sick of pics of my bedroom. One more and I'll quit, I promise.
I saw this carnival last month but was waaay too late to enter. But this month, I was ready.
I keep 8-10 books on my nightstand. Hubba-bubba has tried several times to lessen this number or clear it altogether, but I stand my ground.
I love to be surrounded by books.
Several of these are some I'm "working on" all the time. Others come and go once I've finished the book. There are even a few that I've read that I loved so much that they stay nearby.
A little obsessive? Maybe. Probably. Ok, fine. Definitely.
I have to reach further to hit snooze because of my book hoarding.
Here's the list of my nightstand books.
The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls--I'm reading this now, great book, borrowed from a good friend.
No Touch Monkey by Ayun Halliday--funny travel memoir that I pick up periodically, when I need an escape and a laugh.
No Nest for the Wicket by Donna Andrews--the title is what screamed "Buy me!!!" TBR
Jesus for President by Shane Claiborne & Chris Haw--I'm working on this one slowly, it's pretty heavy.
The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne--I have this one because of the previous book. TBR
The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James--great Austenite book. Loved it and keep it close.
A Continual Feast by Jan Karon--A collection of quotes and Father Tim's thoughts (from the beloved Mitford books). Very inspiring.
The Lynne Truss Treasury by Lynne Truss--the columns and 3 novels, very funny author.
An Irish Country Village by Patrick Taylor--have this for the cover art and because it's Irish. TBR
The Reason For God by Timothy Keller--TBR, but I am really looking forward to getting into this one.
The Organic God by Margaret Feinberg--about to start this, it is sort of assigned, but looking forward to it, nonetheless.
Oceans Apart by Karen Kingsbury--haven't started this library book for my book club.
So, that is my paltry list.
Pitiful, I know. I join the ranks of bibliophiles everywhere and stand proud (in my pjs) with my stacks and stacks of stuff to read.

ps..TBR is To Be Read (I learned that from the Librarything website.)

I love the title "No Nest for the Wicket" - how cute!
If you are interested in more info about sources for review copies just send me an email and I will forward you the information that I have. I should probably do a blog post at some point because I've received this question often lately.

Love a good Austenite title!
You've got a great list!
That's a great list of books. I'm sorry we haven't commented in awhile. I actually have tried four or five times but it never lets me
:( So, I have been visiting.
