What's On Your Nightstand - June

{Affiliate links enclosed}

 

I am running late in getting this posted. You would think with only two kid in the house this week I would be on top of it. I picked out five book, but I can't say I feel overly committed to reading all of them. If I find something that just reaches out to me I may pick one of those up instead. We will see.

 



My June Nightstand:

From my May Nightstand:

• Cordelia Underwood: Or the Marvelous Beginnings of the Moosepath League by Van Reid - A fun read. It definitely has traces of Dicken's Pickwick Papers. (review)
• Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry - I'm still dwelling on this book that I read for my The Classics Club list. Review forthcoming.
• Pigeon Post by Arthur Ransome* - Fun, fun, fun!!! (review)
• Fasting: Opening the door to a deeper, more intimate, more powerful relationship with God by Jentezen Franklin - A great little informative book on fasting.
• For the Children's Sake: Foundations of Education for Home and School by Susan Schaeffer MacCaulay - This is a re-read. A great little introduction to a Charlotte Mason education.

I also read:

• Johnny Tremain* by Esther Forbes (review)
• Miss Julia Stirs Up Trouble by Ann B. Ross - Miss Julia is out to fix the everyone's world around her. Of course, she is always getting involved in something she should not be involved in.
• Whose Body? (The Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries) by Dorothy Sayers - Another book finished off of my The Classic Club list. Review forthcoming
• Brave Writer's Help for High School by Julie Bogart - A help for the high school student in writing essays. This is written to the student to do and work along with. Unfortunately, it is not a good fit for my student. 

I listened to:

• Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie - Still working my way through the Poirot mysteries.
• Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens - I loved this book. Another book for my The Classics Club List. Review forthcoming.
