What's on your Nightstand? 3-24-2009


This is my first time doing this post - so it will probably evolve over the next few months as I figure out what it is I actually want to say and keep track of here. This is a cool meme hosted by Jennifer at 5 Minutes for Books.

The books that I have finished this month: (These were all arcs)
  1. This Side of Heaven by Karen Kingsbury - I really like Karen Kingsbury books - especially if I am in need of a good cry. They are always tear jerkers for me. My review is here.
  2. The Kingmaking by Helen Hollick - Great fiction book about a young King Arthur and Gwenhwyfar. My review is here.
  3. The Stones by Eleanor Gustafson - This is a fictionalized account of the life of King David - it does a great job of filling in the details of how it might have been during this time. My review is here.
  4. Marked by Passion by Kate Perry - This was my first paranormal romance and I loved it! This is also the first book of a series and I can't wait for the next one. My review is here.
  5. Diamonds in the Shadow by Caroline B. Cooney - YA book about a refugee family from South Africa. It was a quick read. My review is here.
  6. Scream by Mike Dellosso - Loved this Christian suspense book. It kept my attention throughout and I will be looking for more books by Mr. Dellosso! My review is here.
  7. Katt's in the Cradle by Ginger Kolbaba an Christy Scannell - Cute fiction book about pastor's wives and what they deal with. It was book 3 in a series and I hadn't read the first 2 - would recommend reading them first. My review is here.
  8. 10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith by Jason T. Berggren - I unfortunately could not get into this book. Wasn't a bad book - just didn't really see some of his points. My review is here.

I am currently reading these books -

  1. Deadly Charm by Claudia Mair Burney - reading for First Wild Card Tour that starts tomorrow.
  2. Yesterday's Embers by Deborah Ramey - reading for First Wild Card Tour that starts Friday.
  3. A Lever Long Enough by Amy Deardon - reading for a past First Wild Card Tour
  4. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - listening to this one in my car. I absolutely love this series on audio!

Coming up:

  1. Lady Anne and the Howl in the Dark by Donna Lea Simpson - reading as an ARC for Sourcebooks.
  2. An Offer You Can't Refuse by Jill Mansell - also reading as an ARC for Sourcebooks.
  3. Rachel's Tears by Beth Nimmo and Darrell Scott - reading as an ARC for Thomas Nelson Books.
  4. The Boneman's Daughter by Ted Dekker - reading as an ebook ARC through Net Galley
  5. The Lost Hours by Karen White - will be hosting this author on April 20th.

I also have the following give aways going on my blog -

  1. Jantsen's Gift - ending March 31 -
  2. Do - Over - ending April 20
  3. Trail of Crumbs - ending Mar 27 - must read my Friday Finds and answer a question.
  4. 10 Things I Hate About You - ending after I receive 10 entries

That's it for me! Can't wait to see what everybody else did this month!

I enjoy the HP books on CD, too. I've read all the books at least twice, but hearing them read is a completely different experience!

Love your needlework. In another life I loved to cross-stitch. I still have lots of materials...just no time. :(

You've got quite a stack of books. I'm looking forward to reading your reviews!

Did you do the needlepoint at the top? That's wonderful! Wow - you have been/are planning to read a lot! And I've read none of them, so you've given me some ideas. Thank you!

I like Ted Dekker books. I need to put another one of his on my TBR list.

What a great list! I love Karen Kingsbury too; I will have to bookmark this and check out some of the others.

I'm just now catching up with the WOYN posts and am actually doing a giveaway as part of mine. :)
