What's On Your Nightstand - January

{Affiliate links enclosed}

 

January has been a productive month. I didn't do so well with my actual Nightstand list for January, but I made up for it with other books. 

For February:

From December's Nightstand:

• The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery (review)
• Choosing Gratitude: Your Journey to Joy by Nancy Leigh DeMoss - Even if you think you are grateful, pick up this book! (excerpt)

I am currently reading:

• Les Miserables by Victor Hugo - I got 200 pages into this. This may become a year long read.
• The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth: Live Them and Reach Your Potential by John Maxwell - The wait list at the library was longer than I anticipated and I only just received it.

I also read:

• A Cowboy's Touch by Denise Hunter - Fluffy read.
• Keeping The Castle by Patrice Kindl - A cute YA book.
• Listen by Rene Gutteridge - My night of insomnia read. This book dealt with gossip--an interesting topic for a fiction book.
• Emma, Mr. Knightley and Chili-Slaw Dogs by Mary Jane Hathaway Another fluffy, but very fun read.
• Mrs. Meyer's Clean Home: No-Nonsense Advice that Will Inspire You to CLEAN like the DICKENS by Thelma Meyer - Well, I didn't learn much more than what I already knew. Library donation.
• The Sacred Search: What If It's Not about Who You Marry, But Why? by Gary Thomas - I know I'm already married, but I teach the teen Sunday School class and I do have an 18 year old. This is a MUST READ for anyone getting married or wanting to get married. It will probably step on toes, since he challenges many of the reasons for people getting married today that can hinder a marriage instead of strengthen it. Great read.

I listened to:

• Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns - A great southern fiction story. Tom Parker has the perfect voice for narrating this story. (Excerpt)
