On My Nightstand



I love 5 Minutes for Books. My library to-read list is huge because of the book reviews. I currently have 258 books on my list and it grows almost every day.

For January, I plan on reading:

Fiction
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole (my hubby's recommendation)
The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss (I've seen the movie but have never read the book)

Memoir
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle

Nonfiction
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fondues & Hot Dips
Rotary Magic
The Jane Austen Handbook by Margaret C. Sullivan
Miss Manners' Guide to Domestic Tranquility by Judith Martin

I will probably read more than this, as I usually finish a book every two to three days. But this list covers the bare minimum of my reading list.

Hmm, that Jane Austen Handbook sounds pretty interesting. I wonder if my library has it...

Enjoy your reading!

I enjoyed Eat, Pray, Love - although the Eat part was by far my favorite. Interested to hear your reaction.
Confederacy of Dunces sounds familiar, but I've never read it. Looked it up and it sounds quite interesting. Merry Christmas!

Swiss Family Robinson was a surprising read to me (having grown up watching the Disney movie) so I'll be curious for your thoughts on that one! =)

I've also been curious about Eat, Pray, Love and haven't looked into it closely yet. But it seems to be receiving a lot of great reviews!

Have fun reading and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!

Thanks for the well wishes and comments on my reading list! I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love right now.
