On My Nightstand February 3, 2024

This week seemed really long, and I couldn’t figure out why. Finally I realized both of my kids had gone to school for five days straight for the first time since November. I’m not used to having so much time to get things done (and I did kind of miss them.)

I had meetings and kid’s sports this week at night, but I’m still trying to get in my mint tea and reading time each day. It really helps me get through some longer books that I probably wouldn’t finish otherwise. Of course the best thing I can do to get through books is to leave my phone in the other room, but we won’t talk about that.

Have a great week!

Quote of the Week:

“It seems so, Nasima said, nodding sagely. But you and me, we know what’s going on. We do, Firuzeh said, not having the faintest idea.”

— On Fragile Waves by E. Lily Yu

On My Nightstand This Week:

Kindle: I have four more days to finish On Fragile Waves by E. Lily Yu before the library takes it back. Luckily it’s a good and fast read!

Audio: I’ve been listening to Glowing Still by Sara Wheeler. It’s a look back at her travel writing career. I’m enjoying the parts about motherhood while traveling the world.

Paper Book: I’m about to start Lead Through Anything. Seems like a good choice for this year!

Make it a good one everyone!

On My Nightstand January 28, 2024

How is your first reading month of 2024 going? Other than taking all month to read Erika Fatland’s High I’m making good progress on my goals so far. We still have a few days to go, but I think I’ll be happy with my month end wrap up.

That said I have already dropped out of a few challenges. In general I read more when I allow myself to stop reading what I don’t like. Sometimes I make myself feel like reading is my second job, but the truth is I’m not making money doing this, so I shouldn’t feel like I’m letting anyone down.

Have a great week!

Quote of the Week:

“Besides, nowadays, almost all capable people are terribly afraid of being ridiculous, and are miserable because of it.”

— The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

On My Nightstand This Week:

Kindle: Reading His Only Wife by Peace Adzo Medie for #FoodAndLit on Litsy. I’m enjoying this one. It’s just taking me longer than usual because I haven’t had a lot of kindle time this week.

Audio: I started The Sex Lives of Cannibals by J. Maarten Troost yesterday. The intro made me laugh out loud, so that’s a good sign.

Paper Book: Almost done with High by Erika Fatland! I made good progress this week thanks to my nightly quiet time at the kitchen table. I’m glad I stuck with this one.

Make it a good one everyone!

On My Nightstand January 21, 2024

I don’t know if it’s the weather or what, but my cats have been absolutely bonkers this week. They’re climbing on everything, and no hair tie or stuffed animal is safe. I’m looking forward to a more normal week this week when hopefully everyone goes to work and school every day.

I dropped all of my normal reading plans this week because All The Sinners Bleed came in from the library and I was OBSESSED. I’ll admit I skipped my walks a couple of nights so I could read, and I haven’t kept up with my non-fiction reading at all. So worth it though.

Have a great week!

Quote of the Week:

“We all choose to be skeptics when the truth is inconvenient.”

— All The Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby

On My Nightstand This Week:

Kindle: Reading His Only Wife by Peace Adzo Medie for #FoodAndLit on Litsy. Never started this last week because of my above mentioned obsession. I’ll start today and hopefully finish before the library needs it back.

Audio: I started Main Street by Sinclair Lewis, but am not sure I’ll finish. Change my mind?

Paper Book: Time to get back to High by Erika Fatland! Still hoping to finish this month, but time is going fast.

Make it a good one everyone!

This week has been wild weather wise. We lost power at one point. Luckily I had all my candles out from Christmas still. Now they’re calling for two snow storms next week. Plus lacrosse games start for my son and drama rehearsals for my daughter. I’d say a trip to the grocery store is in order today.

I started the year reading two big chunky books- The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese and High by Erika Fatland. They’re both worth the time, but it feels weird to not have read more books by now.

Have a great week!

Quote of the Week:

“Roses would be annoying weeds if the blooms never withered and died. Beauty resides in the knowledge that it doesn’t last.”

— The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

On My Nightstand This Week:

Kindle: Reading His Only Wife by Peace Adzo Medie for #FoodAndLit on Litsy. I’ve had this on my TBR forever!

Audio: Next up is Mobility by Lydia Kiesling. I’ve heard mixed reviews, but the premise sounds so good.

Paper Book: Still working on High by Erika Fatland! I try to read for an hour each night before bed, but these days have been a little nuts and I confess to falling asleep at the table some night. Making progress though, and I am determined to finish this chunkster by the end of the month.

Make it a good one everyone!

Show Us Your Books January 2024

Is everyone used to writing 2024 yet? It still takes me a minute. It sounds so in the future.

My December reading was heavy on the re-reads. It’s not Christmas to me without my favorite books. I did have a few new winners though:

Five Stars

Idlewild by James Frankie Thomas - Wow, what a ride. I usually avoid books about teenagers and/or 9/11, but my library had this one and it‘s on the #LitsyTOB24 list. I really enjoyed it after all. My last read of 2023- love ending on a high note!

Four Stars

Lights by Brenna Thummler - The third book in a trilogy of graphic novels. I didn’t like it as much as the other two, but I was glad to get closure on Wendell’s story.

Nora Webster by Colm Toibin - Nora is a new widow and mother of four when we meet her. Not only is she dealing with grief she must make changes to support her family. This book was a quiet look at life in Ireland around the 60’s. The audiobook was beautifully read.

March by Geraldine Brooks - Little Women told mostly through the eyes of Mr. March. A friend recommended this knowing Little Women is a favorite, not knowing that I really can’t stand Mr March. BUT this book did such a great job of explaining why he was such a pompous know it all without making him sympathetic. I loved it. Warning this book largely takes place in the south during the Civil War so it’s not a gentle book.

Happy reading everyone!

On My Nightstand January 7, 2024

We’re well in the New Year now, and everything Christmas is coming down today. I’ll miss the extra lights, but I’m looking forward to getting the space back. Sports start again for the kids this week, and I’m almost looking forward to that too. (Full disclosure- looking forward to the sports, not the driving and the laundry.)

Have a great week!

Quote of the Week:

“For every one person who spends their last day romping through wildflowers and bestowing tender messages on their beloveds, praying words of thanksgiving as the sun falls into the ocean, there are two people who on their last day will order everything on the drive-thru menu at Taco Bell and chase it with a bottle of Wild Turkey. Urgency never makes a good life, or a good death. No one flosses on their last day on Earth. But there is something to be said about realizing stability is always a temporary situation, and that your dreams and plans will not pulsate within you forever. A life of denying them, for the sake of security and stability, won’t get you where you think it will.”

— Blood From A Stone by Adam McHugh

On My Nightstand This Week:

Kindle: The Dark by Emma Haughton - I didn’t get to this from my December list, but Antarctica in the winter has better December vibes anyway.

Audio: The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese - I have about 10 more hours in this audio, and just like the last time I read it I hope it never ends.

Paper Book: High by Erika Fatland - My new work night routine is to sit in the kitchen with this book and some mint tea for an hour each night. It’s a chunkster, so by reading a bit each night I’m hoping to finish by the end of the month.

Make it a good one everyone!

Walking Wednesday January 3, 2024 (I'm back!)

After about a month of recovering from covid and flu I’m back to walking! I’m pretty weak so I had to cut my step totals back, but the important thing is I’m outside moving most days. I even saw some spring bulbs coming up. I guess the bulbs didn’t get the memo that it might snow this weekend!

I started listening to The Covenant of Water again. I just love this book so much.

On My Nightstand December 31, 2023

Happy almost New Year! I am not a New Years Eve person (cold dark nights are not things I engage with willingly.) However I LOVE New Year’s Day. I love the feeling of wiping all the Christmas clutter away and starting fresh.

This year is a little different because of illness and travel- we’re doing our family Christmas on January 1. It’s just the four of us so it should be a low key day with a meal that pleases no one but ourselves, a few presents, and hopefully a hike or at least a long walk outside.

As for reading I’m finishing up my 2023 reads today, and looking forward to starting all new reads in 2024.

Quote of the Week:

“They didn’t understand what they were doing.
I’m afraid that will be on the tombstone of the human race.”

— Prey by Michael Crichton

On My Nightstand This Week:

I’m not sure really. I’ll take a look at my January list and see where I want to go with it.

Make it a good one everyone!

January (and 2024) Reading Goals

December beginning TBR: 367

December ending TBR: 376

I feel like I hit a good reading stride in November and December, and I’m excited to carry that forward into 2024. I just need my kids to go back to school first. (Is it just me or have kids not been in school since October?)

I joined a few challenges on Litsy for 2024, and I have my usual goals of reading a book set in each state and Canadian province, as well as trying to read books I already own or on my LibraryThing TBR.

Litsy geographic challenges

I started some of these a few years ago, but they’re too big for me to finish in a year. I just keep them going!

Reading Oceania 2024

Reading The Americas 2023

Reading Africa 2022

Reading Asia 2021

Other Litsy Challenges:

192025 - Read a book published each year between 1920 and 2025

Litsy Tournament of Books 2024 - Litsy’s member voted version of the Tournament of Books short list

Food and Lit - My favorite- pick a book and a recipe from a different country each month

Author A Month - Read at least one book from a member voted author each month

Hashtag Brigade - Reading through the classics a chapter a day

And now my January reading list where I attempt to work on each of these goals and challenges bit by bit:

Brothers Karamazov (a chapter a day between Jan 1 and whenever in March we finish)

Ultra Processed People

Author A Month - something by Jane Austen

His Only Wife

When in Vanuatu

Random physical library book that comes in on hold

The Covenant of Water

High

The Glass Universe

Oceana

The African Queen

In Extremis

Main Street

Sea Wife

We’ve Got You Covered

Mobility

Any ARC

Henry Huggins

I Read A Book Set In Each State (2023)

In about an hour I should finish my last book from my 2023 Reading USA challenge. I started doing this with a group on Litsy about five years ago. I’m not sure anyone else is still doing this challenge, but I keep going each year. For me it’s a fun way to give direction to my random reading. I don’t always finish the challenge, but this year I did.

I don’t have hard and fast rules about what I count as “set in a sate.” For books that cover multiple states I usually just want at least one memorable scene set in a state. Year after year Delaware and Indiana are the hardest states to fill. And it might be my imagination, but it seems like every other book is set in Maine these days.

Alabama - To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Alaska - Tree Line by Ben Rawlence

It’s here! I hope everyone who is celebrating Christmas is able to relax a bit.

Sit down and read a book!

“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”

Audiobook: Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry - I’m about halfway through but not into this one yet. So many people rave about it, but I’m just blah. Maybe I will change my mind.

Kindle: The Bear And The Nightingale by Katherine Arden - Still working on this one. I love it, but just haven’t been making the time.

Physical Book: Prey by Michael Crichton - I thought I had read all of his books, but then I found this!

On My Nightstand December 16, 2023

I am just wrapping up my annual cookie baking extravaganza. I didn’t make as many this year as I usually do because of an intervention from certain family members, but I did get to spend a late night in the kitchen listening to audiobooks. Now I’m sampling my wares and washing them down with some mulled wine. Life is good.

Next week I’m hoping to get some time to finalize my 2024 goals. I have so many ideas! First and foremost though I need to read some of the books I already own. (Are you even a bookworm if you don’t make this vow every year?)

Have a great week everyone!

Quote of the week:

“The world was hers for the reading.”

— A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

On My Nightstand:

Audiobook: An Unfortunate Christmas Murder by Hannah Hendy - The British lunch ladies who solve crimes in these books crack me up. They’re fun to listen to as I go about my December madness.

Kindle: The Bear And The Nightingale by Katherine Arden - I read this when it first came out and have wanted to read the rest of the trilogy since. I needed to re-read this one before I got started though as I don’t remember much.

Physical Book: The Winter Garden by Alexandra Bell - Magical realism isn’t always my thing, but this book is working for me.

On My Nightstand December 3, 2023

Well this was supposed to be a really busy weekend filled with holiday fun, but then I got Covid. I’ve been hiding from the world in my basement for a couple of days now sending emails backing out of all of the commitments I made. It’s sad to miss out on things, but at least I could see fireworks last night from my porch. I am scheduled to give two presentations next week at work, and I’m really hope I’m up for that because I’ve been preparing for months and I want them done.

Quote of the Week

“I’ve always imagined paradise as something like a library.”

— March by Geraldine Brooks

What I’m Reading This Week

On Kindle- March by Geraldine Brooks
This is Little Women told by Mr. March, one of my least favorite men in classic literature. So far this book is well written, but I still don’t like Mr. March.

On Audio- Homecoming by Kate Morton
For the Author A Month challenge on Litsy. Her books are hit or miss for me. I hope this is a hit!

Physical Book- Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat
I had been trying to cook through this book earlier this year but got distracted. I was excited when a bookclub I’m in picked it for their December read.

Have a great week!

Four soccer games this weekend, two days of work, and then a break! I can’t wait. I have about five audiobooks in from the library, and I plan to listen to them all while I putter around my house. I think it’s supposed to be cold too, so it will feel extra Thanksgivingy.

Have a great week!

Quote of the Week:

On my nightstand:

How Not To Drown In A Glass of Water by Angie Cruz -- I downloaded this last night when I couldn’t sleep, and wow is it good! I love the characters and the format.

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros -- I have about 1 1/2 hours left in this audiobook, and I am listening to it every chance I get! Yes there’s a lot of hype, but it’s for a reason. These books are a lot of fun.

The Great Displacement by Jake Bittle -- Yup, still reading this one. It’s a deep read, and I haven’t had the space to sit down and think while I read. This week I should finish!

Show Us Your Books November 2023

My October was filled with cozy mysteries and thrillers, as is bookworm law. I had a lot of fun, but am enjoying the feeling of my brain coming back to life as I re-introduce deeper books this month. I don’t even know where I am with my reading challenges, but at this point I kind of want to just read what’s overflowing on my shelves and start again with the challenges in 2024. I saw a meme the other day that said something like “It’s officially let’s reconnect after the holidays season!” and that’s how I feel about reading challenges at this point.

Here’s the best of the best from what I read in October.

Five Star Reads:

Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy -- If you would have told 10th grade me that I would be willingly getting up pre-dawn on a weekend to finish Tess of the D‘Urbervilles I would not have believed you. This book touched me in ways teenage me would never have imagined. This book is wasted on High Schoolers. It hit way differently in my 40’s.

Four Star Reads:

The Broken Girls by Simone St. James -- Once I figured out the characters and the timelines I was really invested in the story of this boarding school for unwanted girls set in the 1950’s and the reporter who wants to learn more in 2014.

Malorie by Josh Malerman -- Bird Box scared the heck out of me so I had been saving this one for a good Halloween scare. I wasn’t expecting to relate so much to the story of a mom just trying to keep her teens alive when they think they are so much smarter and fight you on every damn thing 🤣 The whole blindfold wearing issue was interesting too after the last few years of mask wearing. So, not the scare I was looking for, but a relatable tale of motherhood.

Going Zero by Anthony McCarten -- A fast paced techno thriller. Bigger than life Elon Musk type Cy challenges ten people to evade his surveillance technology for thirty days. If they do they get 3 million dollars. This book moved, and was hard to put down once I started.

A Place Called Winter by Patrick Gale -- I enjoyed this novel about Harry- a man who had to flee to Canada in the years before WWI just because of who he was. The author’s note at the end revealed Harry was actually a distant relative of his, and he got the idea for this novel after reading a family member’s memoirs.

Hotel California edited by Don Bruns -- I enjoyed making my way through this mystery anthology last month. My favorite was the last story, and the inspiration for the title. In Hotel California the famous song is told through the eyes of a social media influencer. And it was as creepy as it sounds.

On My Nightstand November 5, 2023

Ugh, I just wrote a whole post then accidentally deleted it. That’s what I get for posting after midnight!

I spent the afternoon in the yard closing up the garden. I love this time of year, because I get to dream about next year. I have all sorts of plans for my garden, and for my reading year of course. Right now I’m thinking about expanding my project to read around the world, reading more Shakespeare, and re-reading some kid lit - mainly Percy Jackson and Ramona Quimby.

Just remembered the time change and the extra hour of sleep I’ll get to make up for this unfortunate late night posting decision!

Have a great week!

Quote of the Week:

“There are different ways to evil and I prefer mine to yours.”

— A Passage to India by E.M. Forester

On my nightstand:

The Big Burn by Timothy Egan -- I read this a few years ago, and wanted to re-read this month. I have seventeen days left on my library loan so need to get to it.

My Life In France by Julia Child -- I am happily re-reading this one for a book group. I love her so much.

The Great Displacement by Jake Bittle -- This book about climate change is pretty heavy. I’m taking it a chapter a day.
