I’m taking a bit of a different tack today, and looking at my nightstand. I have a pile of books either waiting to be read or in some stage of reading -- some for work, some for articles I’m working on for The High Calling and TweetSpeak Poetry, some for research for my own literary endeavors, and even a few for pleasure.

Maybe these aren’t on my nightstand. Maybe they are my nightstand.
I wish my stack was that nice and neat. Thanks for the encouragement. A Light Shining is on the way to my doorstep!
ReplyDeleteSome real heft here.
ReplyDeleteWill be interested to know what you think of 'The Wishing Tomb', which you know I reviewed.
Gioia's 'Pity the Beautiful' is a lovely collection.
Glynn, balance a coffee cup on top of it all and yes, you have a nightstand.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the 'Booked' discussion on the High Calling. I am thoroughly enjoying it--Karen has some deep thoughts on many different subjects.
