My last What’s On Your Nightstand post was for the month of August last year and as we all know, another year had begun and January is almost gone already! So what happened you might ask? Well…this (see below photo) happened and I’m so proud! :-) I loved every minute that I spent with her and no regrets on not reading much at all!
But now that things have somewhat settled down and the holidays are all over, I’m ready to get back to reading again!
What I finished reading this month:
- #86 Little Girls Can Be Mean by Michelle Anthony M.A. Ph.D. and Reyna Lindert Ph.D. Little girls can be mean for sure and this book gave me some insights to “reality.” I’m a bit scared for my girls since times are so different from when I was growing up, especially in another country. But at the same time, I wouldn’t draw too much attention and take things ‘too seriously’ as in this book. After all, kids will be kids and we all turned out to be just fine. :-)
- #87 Safe Heaven by Nicholas Sparks This was no Notebook but Nicholas Sparks still the same…
- #88 Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin I watched a movie called Something Borrowed that was based on one of Giffin’s novels so I thought I’d read her other novels. But I must say I was not impressed with this one at all since it left me with nothing after I was done reading. I’m not sure about picking up another one of her novels for now….
What I’m reading currently:


What I’m planning to read next:
I’m participating in What’s On Your Nightstand , which is a way to connect with other bloggers and share my ”reading list” and reading habits of mine monthly from 5 Minutes for Books. What’s On Your Nightstand happens on the FOURTH Tuesday of every month.

I read The Help several months ago before seeing the movie. It was actually one time when I thought the book and movie were equal!

I read The Help last year and absolutely adored it! And Bossypants is sitting right next to me actually, as it continues to wait in line for me to get a chance to read it! Great list, happy reading!

Very cute baby!!! Congrats.
My grandmother always gives me a book at Christmas, so I got Safe Haven this year and finished it this month. I hadn’t read one in a while, so I enjoyed it.

sometimes it helps to read something frivolous as you call it just to get our mind off of deeper issues….a little escapism is good therapy.

I saw The Help when it was in the theater and I have wanted to read the book ever since.
