For October:
From August's Nightstand I read:
Code Name Verity
by Elizabeth Wein
(review)
The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club
by Dorothy Sayers
- Another Lord Peter Wimsey story. Enjoyable.Small Changes for a Better Life: Daily Steps to Living Gods Plan for You
by Elizabeth George
- I can't say anything she covered hasn't been covered in other books, but her books always make me think and show me areas in my life that I need to address.I am currently reading:
Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions
by Lisa TerKeurst
I also read:
Pride, Prejudice, and Cheese Grits (Austen Takes the South)
by Mary Jane Hathaway
- I couldn't sleep so I picked this book hoping for something to put me to sleep. Wrong! I ended up reading the whole book. This was a cute story, not the best writing, but it kept my interest.
Strong Poison
by Dorothy Sayers
- I really enjoyed this story. Here are a few teasers.
Keys to High School Success: Get Your Homeschool High School Started Right! (Coffee Break Books)
by Lee Binz
- Enjoyable read if I can keep myself from being depressed that I haven't done half the things recommended for my current high schooler.
Oh well, maybe for the next one.I listened to:
Hercule Poirot's Christmas
by Agatha Christie
- Still working my way through Poirot mysteries. The Mark of Zorro
by Johnston McCulley
- Loved this story! It is like Robin Hood being set down in Old California. Plenty of action and humor. Sad Cypress: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Hercule Poirot Mysteries)
by Agatha Christie
- Every once in while one of Christie's books stand out and this was one of them. The Thirty-Nine Steps - John Buchan - Another fabulous story. If you like a good spy story check this one out.
I didn't read:
The Lemon Jelly Cake
by Madeline Smith
- This was on my September Nightstand. I just couldn't get into this book. I read over 70 pages and decided I had too many other books to read and chucked it.
See what others have read over at 5 Minutes for Books.
The Scarlet Pimpernel is on my TBR list, too.
ReplyDeleteYour Nightstand posts always inspire me!
I intend to read The Scarlet Pimpernel one day but I keep forgetting. Adding it to my list right now. (Done!)
ReplyDeleteI had to give up a book this month too. I just couldn't get into it. Why waste time? I'm always proud of myself when I lay down a book. :)
I hadn't heard of Elizabeth George's new book. But it's good to know that there isn't new material covered. I probably wouldn't pick it up even though, like yourself, I get a lot out of what she has to say.
ReplyDeletePride, Prejudice, and Cheese Grits (Austen Takes the South) sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteI see commenters mentioning The Scarlet Pimpernel but I missed it in your post. I read it years ago and would love to reread it again some time. Loved the film with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour even though it differed from the book.
I think I have Unglued in my Kindle somewhere.
Love your list - I keep meaning to read Agatha Christie... adding her to my reading list now.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I totally just downloaded Pride, Prejudice, and Cheese Grits to my kindle!
