What’s on Your Nightstand?

August26

What are you read­ing? I’m always look­ing for a good book or a good rec­om­men­da­tion. I start lots of books, and I fin­ish a few. I will start any­thing that sounds even remotely inter­est­ing. I’m not lim­ited to a cer­tain genre, author, or sto­ry­line. I read Chris­t­ian authors and non-Christian authors. I read fic­tion and non­fic­tion. I read as much as I can. I have always loved to read. As a child, my mom says that I taught myself to read around the time I was 4. Since then, I have almost always had at least one book in the process of being read.

Right now, I don’t have a night­stand, but I do have a read­ing list. Some of these I just started, and some I have been work­ing on for a while.

The Breast­feed­ing Answer Book — Who doesn’t love a good sev­eral hun­dred page, spi­ral bound, infor­ma­tional book?

Reclaim­ing Nick — I read this review on 5 Min­utes for Books, and I thought I should start at the begin­ning of the series instead of at the end.

Hap­pi­ness Sold Sep­a­rately — I got this book off freecy­cle. If someone’s giv­ing a book away, it’s worth tak­ing a chance, right?

I’m sure there are a few oth­ers, but these are the ones that get most of my time right now. How about you?

    I’ve been read­ing the Earth­sea series by Ursula K. LeGuin this sum­mer. The first book is called “The Wiz­ard of Earth­sea.” It stands on its own, so you don’t need to read any­thing else in the series unless you want to. :) Decent writ­ing, lovely “universe”.

    I am giv­ing away a free copy of the Black Woman’s Guide to Breast­feed­ing on my blog. I would love for some­one to use it or gift it to a friend and encour­age another woman to breastfeed!
