I haven’t participated in the “Nightstand” Mr. Linky at 5 Minutes for Books in quite awhile. Why? Honestly I have no idea. Probably something called Life. So I jump back into the fun with what I currently have in my reading pile (you know, that book stack tower that never seems to end due to library and bookstore trips, friends lending books, and books given as presents. Fun, fun.)
Without further delay: My Pile of Books
Miss Read: Village School by Dora Jessie Saint. I opened to Page One this morning. Too early to comment other than to say, I’ve heard lots of good things about Miss Read. No pressure, Miss Read, no pressure.
Problogger (Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income) by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett. Stop laughing. As a mere amateur blogger, I read this to learn more about the how-to’s of a well-kept blog.
Black by Ted Dekker. I don’t know if I will ever get into this book properly, as I’ve tried with the first chapter and, well. . . . we will see.
The Tipping Point (How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference) by Malcolm Gladwell. Thoroughly enjoying it. This was a Christmas present to Doc, and he didn’t think I would like it, but I knew I would – that’s one of the reasons I gave it to my husband. Sneaky, huh? This book is worthy of it’s own little post, and I’m not done reading, so you have to wait for more commentary here.
Lastly, I’m still poking my nose in Committed (A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage) by Elizabeth Gilbert, my current blogging inspiration, which also happens to be a whopping 55% off at Amazon. This won’t do, people! How the heck is Liz supposed to stay in New Jersey if her freshly-printed latest is too inexpensive. Don’t these publishers and retailers know the woman has to pay New Jersey property taxes, car insurance, blah, blah, etc., etc. Sheesh.
~Yo, Monica! Didn’t you borrow Committed from the library?
Um.
~That’s what I thought. Perhaps you should mention that you didn’t buy it either, you Library Rat.
Hey! That’s it for me this month.
Happy Reading!
