Listen, its not you. It's me. I just need more. I feel like I give and give and receive nothing. Ok, so maybe it IS you. Readers, seriously you have to give me something. Who are you? I realize that I may not have posts that are comment friendly so I won't blame you for the past. I am going to work on some interactive topics in hopes that you will respond. Let's all get something from this experience. I will start.
What books are on your nightstand and why should they be on mine?

Ok, so I am commenting on my own post. Here are the current books on my nightstand (actually I literally just put them in a box, but they were there - I promise).
Southern Living Gardening
Eye of the World - Robert Jordan
The Everything Pregnancy Book
Books 1 and 3 are only for you if you are gardening or pregnant, but I think you might enjoy book 2 so you should give it a chance.
that is so weird, tonight i posted about my books i'm reading....we are on the same wavelength....i can't wait for you to have that baby!
B is for Baby- 26 Projects from A to Z. I picked this one up at Lemuria the other day. It has got some of the cutest baby crafts. I've already coverted one to a toddler/preschooler craft. I've been searching for something to hang in the corner of Wilson's room over his low book shelf. So when Phil was out of town the other night, I made the cutest mobile of trucks and rockets and planes to fill the void- it's really fun.
You'd love this book, cute felt baby shoes, embellishing onesies & side button shirts, lampshades, journals- the list goes on!
The rest of my bedside table is covered in preschool paperwork and hospital pre-admission stuff. You're more than welcome to look through it if your interested!
Jessica, you're hilarious. Did you get my email??? :)
Bible (KJV only, just kidding)
A leather bound journal for prayers
The Christian Counselor's Manual
to Train up A Child
Clutter Be Gone
Messie's Manual
Federal Husband (husband is re-reading)
All of these books are changing my life/thinking. I usually have a couple of duds I'm reading through, but these are all a feast for me right now! Blessings! kat
"under the banner of heaven"- a really good non-fiction book- you'll feel like you're learning a lot, but you won't be bored
have you read "blue like jazz?"
perhaps a little harry potter?
They're not on my nightstand; my nightstand is small and cluttered with Breatheright strips (they changed my life while I was pregnant) and hair clippies. Beside my bed, though, are the following:
1) Against Christianity, Leighthart. I'm only finishing the first chapter, but I'm appreciating his distinction so far between "Christianity" and behaving as a follower of Christ. He says that "Christianity" doesn't understand that early followers of Christ were seen as havoc-wreakers by the civic officials because they were calling for radical change. If we're trying to blend, we're not getting it right.
2) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It probably shouldn't be on your nightstand -- your nightstand might crumble under the weight. And here's a question that occurred to me last night: why aren't they studying anything like grammar or geometry or logic or the like at Hogwarts. Don't they need to be learning those sorts of things, too?
3) A Simple Twist of Fate, Gill & Odegard. It's probably only interesting for Dylan fans, but I'm definitely enjoying it. There's a lot of discussion so far about the other people who were around him at the time, lots of interviews with other musicians, and you see a very non-stage version of Dylan.
4) His Needs, Her Needs, Harley. I really like his idea of the Love Bank, as silly a concept as it sounds to say out loud. I think he's right that we can whittle away (or the inverse, really) at our loved ones' affection for us with tiny things that amount to a really big reaction. Figure out what pushes your spouse's buttons and quit doing it/do more of it (depending on which button you're pushing). The end.
5) Far Appalachia, Adams. Good nonfiction account of his time on the New River. It reads like canoe trips are in theory; kinda lazy and easy.
6) Super Baby Food. I still haven't picked this up from earlier when I was needing to make most of the food Kiddo needed to eat separately. It's a very, very disorganized book, which is very frustrating, and she goes wildly off-topic repeatedly. That said, there's still some helpful information in there, particularly in the form of charts. It came highly recommended, but I'd recommend a few internet sites instead.
That's really it. Now, there are some other books I've read recently that I'll need to tell you about, too. I was given several great books that I read in the few-moments-at-a-time that I had when Kiddo was little bitty, and I was sad when I got to the ends of them. That's the mark of a really good book.
