What's On Your Nightstand - May

{Affiliate links enclosed.}

I had much better reading month for May. Life isn't so chaotic since we are little more settled in our house. (Well, maybe not, I just moved 3 filled bookcases last night.) For June I am going to attempt a little more, though I may be over zealous. Caleb, my oldest, will be graduating from high school in June which requires a party, graduation ceremony, and visiting parents. But I will need to relax, right?

For June:

  

 

I read from April's Nightstand :

• Am I Messing Up My Kids?: ...and Other Questions Every Mom Asks by Lysa TerKeurst - I have to admit I've asked myself this question many times. This book deals more with how Mom is acting (or reacting) rather than children's behavior. Encouraging read.
• Have His Carcase (Lord Peter Wimsey) by Dorothy Sayers - Continuing reading through the Wimsey books. This books has Harriet Vane involved in it and she doesn't take any guff from Lord Peter, including his umpteen marriage proposals.
• Looking for the King: An Inklings Novel by David C. Downing - I borrowed this book from a friend. Interesting read. I wanted to go sit down with the Inklings when I was finished.

I also read:

• Love Among the Chickens by P.G. Wodehouse - Honestly, only Wodehouse could make a story out of love and chickens. Fun read.
• The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain - Read aloud for all of the kids. We all agreed that the high points is when Tom Sawyer is involved in the story.

I listened to:

• Middlemarch by George Eliot, narrated by Kate Reading - I will admit this is the most frustrating and irritating book I think I've every read, and yet I like it. Go figure. A more thorough review to follow.
