What's On Your Nightstand

Since my last WOYN post, I have finished 10 books, bringing my total for the year to 15.

In January, I had only read five books, and I included a mini review of each one in my post for What’s On Your Nightstand. The amount I have been reading has been picking back up lately, so I decided to post my reviews separately to keep this post from being hugely long!

I have broken down the list of what I read over the last month by which post included my (brief) comments on them so that you can easily check them out if you are so inclined. Just click on the links that say “mini review post” if you’d like to read any of them. :)

You have several non-fiction titles there that I think look intriguing – such as The Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships. I’m very curious about that one!

Fun reading through your list. Enjoy your reading!

Sounds like me — my reading is finally picking back up in the last few weeks, and that makes me VERY happy.

I think I slapped up a Nightstand post last month, but this is the first month in a while I’ve had time to really put one together thoughtfully and comment around. It’s SO fun to talk books with other booklovers!

I don’t personally know anyone with one of the autism-spectrum disorders–but I’ve read enough online to be curious about them. The three books on the top of your TBR list all look interesting–I’ll have to stay tuned for your thoughts.

I’ve read Ross Greene’s The Explosive Child- in fact, I think I need to re-read it as a refresher! I’m interested in this other one- I’ll have to look for it. Thanks for the update!

I’ve never read any of Mercedes Lackey’s books, but they sound like books that might appeal to me. Happy reading!

Lots of interesting titles – I’m going to look into some of the autism-themed ones, as my husband has Asperger’s. Thank you!
