* I read Franklin & Winston: An Intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship which I loved and adored. If you missed it you can read my post about Franklin & Winston, as well as my post about Friendship, Winston Churchill Style.
* I read My Life in France, by Julia Child.

And if you WERE one to told me to "just read it already" then you know how much is wrapped up in that one little paragraph written above.
As for what is on my Nightstand for the following month....
I shall be primarily focusing on my pet project and challenge (which I thoroughly and heartily encourage you all to join in on, of course!):

I haven't really decided WHICH book(s) to read by Montgomery yet. But it will be something by her. (I know...big surprise there, right?)
Otherwise, these are the books that are staring in my face with raised question marks before them, just like so:
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????



?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I've read Grace-Based Parenting before but would like to read alongside Gospel-Powered Parenting to contrast and compare, so that's my grand plan.
In the meantime, all I'm really planning to do is to celebrate Christmas and have a little fun celebrating around that.
What about you? What's on your Nightstand? I do love hopping around and seeing what other people are up to reading these days so - see ya around!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Haha! I hope I wasn't one of those to cause you misery by "making" you read Redeeming Love. ;)
My friend did that to me too. I can still remember when she handed it to me. I looked at the cover and thought "oh no, it's a romance" and the rest is history!
I do know I AM one of those who tried in vain to review it here http://wp.me/pFHm8-W but I could hardly spit out anything besides "it was insane"!

I've got a pile of unfinished books on my nightstand- fodder for my friday posts! Good luck with your LM Montgomery challenge; it looks great :-) Merry Christmas!! :-)
Well, the reason I haven't even attempted a review of Redeeming Love is because I read it several years pre-blog. But I'm glad you read it, finally, and I totally understand what you mean by internalizing it. It's very intense.
Yep, Redeeming Love is right up there in my top 10 books ever! Have you read The Mark of the Lion series by the same author? Outstanding!
Oh, I HOPE you didn't absolutely HATE Redeeming Love since I'm one of the ones who encouraged you to read it. . . :-)
I forgot about this today, but my fall into reading wrap-up covered what I have read.
I read Redeeming Love several years ago. I'd be interested in your thoughts if you can articulate them some time. :-)
L.M. Montgomery is a favorite author of mine. You should try the Emily books. What a wonderful character. I just love her lol...
So I probably need to get to "Redeeming Love" sooner rather than later. Sounds intriguing.
Have a blessed Christmas!
Redeeming Love is a wonderful book and one of my favorites. I'm glad you finally read it. :)
Know exactly what you mean about Redeeming Love. When people ask me what it's about, I just say, "read it".
Merry Christmas.
