Drop by 5 Minutes 4 Books to see what others are reading.
Wow – so many books, so many comments went thru my head … I have fond memories of church suppers. I bet that book has some yummy recipes! The Tea Party book sounds interesting … curious if it’s sympathetic or a “take down.” I love DK books for kids! Heard about “Radical,” not intrigued enough to read it … yet :)
I always look forward to reading your list because you read a lot of the same kinds of books that I like. (Although I wish I could say I also get into the cooking and craft books – I have to leave that up to those who really enjoy cooking and who are crafty.) You have some real good books going and coming up. And going to Boston? How fun. My husband and I visited there a few years back and this southern girl felt like she was in another country. Ha.
Looks like you get as many of your books from the library as I do. I just LOVE libraries. Have a great reading month.
You have to be one of the most eclectic readers out there! As usual, I’m impressed at all you’re able to process off the shelves.
What a list! Impressive! I get excited when I finish 3 books a month!! hoping…one day…to tackle a pile like yours!
This is my fist link-up for What’s On Your Nghtstand! So glad I found it! I love reading about what others are reading!!
What a great variety! Not Quite What I was Planning is piquing my interest today.
Looking forward to your review of The Narnian..and still Dug, Down Deep. =)
Boiling Mad also has great appeal. I always like your Nightstand. =)
I feel like the odd ball out because I didn’t really like Radical. I’ll be interested to hear what you think of it!
Yay MBS! Enjoy.
And I thought my tastes were eclectic! Love your lists of books – I’m going through them and adding some to my own reading list!
As always, such an inspiring list! I am going to have to check out some of these titles.
I didn’t make any projects from Sew Retro. I didn’t see anything in there that appealed to me. The book was full of great clipart. For the most part I enjoyed reading about the sewing history (though it has a heavy feminist and politically correct emphasis) and her spotlights on old and new designers in the sewing industry.
