Nightstand: April

Whats on Your Nightstand @ 5 Minutes For Books It’s hard to believe that another month has come and gone. It literally feels like just three days ago or something I was writing the Nightstand post for March but nope, the calendar agrees that it’s been a whole month.

When I left you last I was reading Never Tell Our Business To Strangers by Jennifer Mascia and Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, I finished both and reviewed them here and here respectively.

Since finishing them I have picked up two more books but haven’t finished either yet – and actually to be honest, I guess I am reading three right now since I impatiently picked up a third book the other day. So right now I am reading:

  1. The Spellmans Strike Again by Lisa Lutz (fourth in a series that I am devouring at a rapid pace)
  2. Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat by Michelle May (diet / self help book that, like all nonfiction for me, is slow going but still fascinating)
  3. The Naked Buddha by Adrienne Howley (I’ve only just started it but I have already been prattling on about it incessantly – see example here)

I have a feeling that I won’t finish all of these and pick something else up before my next nightstand post, but if I do it will probably be…

my nightstand - cleaned up for your viewing pleasure

So what’s on your nightstand right now? Tell me about it in the comments below or write your own post and link up at 5 Minutes For Books!

    Great list, I’ve heard lots of good things about the Percy Jackson series, I am going to have to get around to reading them soon.

    I am also fascinated by Eat What You Love. There must be a catch because I am sure I can’t live on birthday cake! 🙂 Enjoy!

    I get impatient and pick up a new book before I finish an old book ALL the time. Oh well. Takes longer to finish books that way, but I don’t get bored. Thanks for the ideas!

    I KNOW it! Time is just flying along and I’m worried that if I don’t plan out what I want to read over the next few months with some specificity I’m going to end up with a lot of “reading regret” at the end of this year!

    Need to figure that out. In the meantime, my curiosity is piqued by Love What You Eat…

    Thanks for mentioning it. Hadn’t heard of it.

    Oh this is so fun!! I have never heard of half the books that people are listing – I just love finding new books. Things outside what I normally rotate to. 🙂
