I'll have to admit that I'm a little put out right now. Hello? January just arrived!! I thought I just wrote out my December Nightstand. Well, obviously not. Oh well, that is life. I did get some reading finished this month, though there were a few books had planned on getting read before today. Here goes:
For February (My choices are a little slim since I can't decide what I want to read. Unbelievable I know, since my TBR list is overflowing with titles!):
From my January Nightstand:
- How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare
by Ken Ludwig - We have read quite a few Shakespeare plays in our homeschool, but that has fallen by the wayside. After reading this I am inspired to pick it back up again.
- A Beautiful Blue Death (Charles Lenox Mysteries)
by Charles Finch - An enjoyable mystery.
I am currently reading:
- The Power of a Praying® Wife
by Stormie Omartian
I also read:
- Ashton Park (The Danforths of Lancashire)
by Murray Pura - The jury is still out on this book. I felt like I was reading a soap opera rather than a book.
- For Such a Time
by Kate Breslin - The story of Esther set during Nazi Germany. Excellent read.
- Hallowe'en Party (Hercule Poirot Mysteries)
by Agatha Christie - Closing in on the end of the Poirot mysteries.
I listened to:
- The Clocks (Hercule Poirot Mysteries)
by Agatha Christie - This audio used a different narrator besides Hugh Fraser (my favorite) or David Suchet. I was slightly annoyed!
- The Foundling
by Georgette Heyer - Heyer kept me on my toes for this story.
- The Monument's Men by Robert M. Edsel - Very interesting historical read. Highly recommended.
- Gone with the Wind
- I think I may have to part company with Scarlett or wait until the spirit moves on me. Right now it just ain't moving!!
See what others have read over at 5 Minutes for Books.
I've not been motivated to read GWTW either - it was hard for me even to enjoy the movie in light of Scarlett's self-centeredness.
ReplyDeleteI just read my first Heyer novel this month.
I read The Power of a Praying Wife some years ago and should probably revisit it.
I've been going through the Sherlock Holmes books the last year or so - when I am done maybe I'll take up Poirot. Mysteries aren't my first favorite genre but I do like them now and again.
No GWTW here, either. No real desire to add it to my list.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Poirot in months. I need to grab a few for my night time reading!
I had Monument Men checked out months ago but never had time to read it. I need to add it back to my list.
I always find your posts inspiring and see several I'd to read. Someday!
ReplyDeleteHa! Made me laugh when you wrote "I Didn't Even Pick Up... Gone With the Wind." You and me both:) That is something I really would like to read, however.
