I'll be looking forward to your review.<br /><br />I will be lucky if I can get up my Scarlet Letter Review so unfortunately I won't be doing a nightstand post, but good for you getting all of your goals accomplished.BerlinerinPoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853762912371387793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-64648015487842712772013-02-27T14:22:58.885-08:002013-02-27T14:22:58.885-08:00Winona was my least fab MHL book.Winona was my least fab MHL book.Annette Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992675906662456790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-38796546255561515292013-02-27T08:24:53.755-08:002013-02-27T08:24:53.755-08:00I have realized that I am not good at making book ...I have realized that I am <i>not</i> good at making book lists and sticking to them. :)<br /><br />The Bonhoeffer book looks particularly good to me.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13337500567333475158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-32753585696787198592013-02-27T00:27:46.406-08:002013-02-27T00:27:46.406-08:00I'll be interested in your thoughts on the Mai...I'll be interested in your thoughts on the Maisie Dobbs book. I find them intriguing though the author's worldview and mine are worlds apart! <br /><br />Off topic: So because of your reviews The Mysterious Benedict Society books are highly rated in our house and recently we checked out the all the audiobooks (again for the umpteenth time) from the library. Today I had to laugh when I walked into 3 different rooms and in each one found a different kid and all 3 were listening to one of the MBS books!

I read it with some Mauritanian students and it was interesting to see their take on it--suffice it to say they completely missed the point. <br />Breakfast with Bonhoeffer sounds good too.

I adore MHL. I just need to decide which book. Possibly one of Lovelace's adult books, but then I love the BTT books. So many choices!Litterairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531449789485981223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-20195607199268006552013-02-26T11:18:26.385-08:002013-02-26T11:18:26.385-08:00On my nightstand:

I'm especially looking forward to March's Bookclub!<br /><br />I am SO jealous right now!!!! ;) I ADORE de Lint's writing!! Unfortunately, his books have too much profanity for my tastes, so it's the hardest thing to stay away from them. I didn't know he had wrote a middle grade book, so I can't wait to hear what you think of it! I may have to pre-order right now. I could always claim it as a "birth day" present. ;) Can you tell I'm excited?! :DBluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680170638396181756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-13039374147673849312013-02-26T06:35:47.059-08:002013-02-26T06:35:47.059-08:00I've never read Lovelace, so I am looking forw...I've never read Lovelace, so I am looking forward to that.<br /><br />Breakfast With Bonhoeffer sounds intriguing -- I'll look forward to your thoughts on that.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-84684401857405765372013-02-26T05:28:33.889-08:002013-02-26T05:28:33.889-08:00Ah, Carney's House Party. . .
