Since my last WOYN post, I have finished 10 more books, bringing my total for the year to 45.
More importantly, I finally read one of the non-fiction books that has been on this list for months, plus a few others as well! To reward myself, I allowed myself to let loose on the fiction new arrivals shelf the last time I was at the library and ended up with the pile that is currently waiting to be read.

I'm a mom with Asperger's raising an amazing son with autism, which means I'm basically the case manager/advocate/cheerleader/chauffeur. The rest of the time, you can usually find me with my nose in a book!

Several of your books look like ones that I need to read. I enjoyed your list!
Amy
Glad you liked it – this has been a good month for books!
Yay! I’m on your nightstand!
You’re actually in my purse now – I hope you didn’t mind going to the psychiatrist’s office and OT in the same afternoon, LOL!
Just added your blog to my Google Reader. I like a lot of the fiction books you have read and I am in the field of special ed currently feeling like every child I evaluate is showing signs of autism so all your background there calls to me! (along with the plethora of autism-related books you have reviewed!) I am SO glad you stopped by my Nightstand.
Wow, that’s so great that we connected through our nightstands! It is so great to have a way to share the books I read with others – makes me feel like my passion for reading has a farther reach than just myself.
Sounds like a great list! I’ve been wanting to read The Wilder Life and it’s nice to see another positive review of it.
I hope you enjoy The Union Quilters! I thought it wasn’t as good as some of the others in the series but still a solid read.
Happy reading!
Just started Union Quilters today and thought she did a nice job introducing the characters – I do think I would like to see her go back to the current day but am looking forward to seeing how this one goes.
You’re doing great on your list! I love the variety in the books you’re reading. Even though I really don’t have a use for it, I would love to read “Times Table the Fun Way”.
I went through some “mental math” books with my daughters a few years ago and I learned so much.
My son really likes the Times Table book – it’s great for visual thinkers because it puts a story with most of the facts. Thanks for your comment!
I have to admit I’m impressed and a bit jealous of your reading 10 books in May. I have so many books that I want to read, but there never seems to be enough time. Glad you have the opportunity to read so much! Look forward to seeing what you’ll read in June.
I know, the “want to read” list just keeps growing no matter what we do, huh? Thanks for stopping by!
I’m impressed, and I read A LOT for a woman with 2 special kids, a job, a business and a blog. (And, I think, a husband in there too??) But WOW you take the cake, I’m enviously impressed
