What’s on my Nightstand?

What's On Your Nightstand

I’m still working through the Bible in 90 Days Chronological Reading Plan so my “other” reading has gone down a bit this month.

Bible

  • Jonah
  • Amos
  • Isaiah
  • Michah
  • Proverbs
  • Psalms
  • Nahum
  • Habakkuk
  • Zephaniah
  • Lamentations
  • Obadiah
  • Ezekiel
  • 2 Kings
  • Jeremiah
  • 2 Chronicles
  • Daniel
  • Haggai

As always, links are to my full reviews.

Christian Fiction

  • With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin – 4 stars. Fantastic book, a breath of fresh air.
  • The Quilt by T. Davis Bunn, Davis Bunn – 4 stars. A heart warming story!
  • A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman – 1 star. For a book titled A Passion Most Pure, there is a lot of passion. Way too much for my taste. I cannot recommend it.

Christian Nonfiction

  • Blessing Your Husband by Debra Evans – 2 stars. It had potential, but wasn’t for me. Not deep enough.

General Nonfiction

Secular Fiction

  • Time and Again by Jack Finney – 4 stars. Fantastic time travel story with NYC as the main character. I wish they’d turned it into a movie!

Currently Reading

Last month I added three books to my list due to the Nightstand posts. I read two off my to-read list. Not bad! Of course, we’ll see how many get added this month…

Happy reading!!

12 Thoughts on “What’s on my Nightstand?

  1. Love the diversity in your list. Makes it more fun when you have a choice of book to pick up. There are several on your list that I need to add to mine.

  2. I have never been disappointed with T. Davis Bunn. The Chronological reading plan sounds interesting. I like how you have organized your reading lists.

  3. Good to know about Blessing Your Husband. I won't seek it out then.

  4. What is with the steamy Christian novels these days? That's one of the reasons why I read Christian romance instead of the run-of-the-mill stuff. SO frustrating.

    Kudos to you for reading the Bible through in 90 days yet again–you're still getting plenty of reading done.

    I have finished exactly zero books since my last nightstand.

  5. I am waiting for With Every Letter from the library and can't wait to read it.

    I tried reading A Passion Most Pure two different times and gave up on it. Glad to know I didn't miss anything.

  6. What a fun eclectic list!

  7. I LOVED Time and Again! I haven't read the sequel though, I've heard it wasn't as good.

  8. A nice list. I like your ratings and quick thoughts!

    Too much passion…ugh!!

  9. Wasn't With Every Letter great? I loved it. Loved North and South, too. I don't think I have read that one by Bunn but I like him generally — will have to look that one up. Thanks for the warning about A Passion Most Pure. I had seen that title but hadn't looked into it yet. I probably won't. "Less is more" in that department.

  10. Very interesting list, I am planning on checking out a few of them. Happy November reading!

  11. Sounds like some nice reads on this list. I may have to check out Time and Again – sounds very interesting!

  12. I did the Bible in 90 Days a few years back. It actually took me 180 days to complete, but I did it! I think what made it possible for me is that I had a newborn at the time and spent a lot of time rocking and nursing him. Maybe I'll try it again next spring when I have another newborn.

    Congratulations for sticking with it!
