Nightstand Books of July

When I go on hiatus, I come back with a flood, huh?

Sorry for inundating you with posts this week. I did not intend to do so, but that’s just sort of how this week turned out. I will be back to my regularly scheduled programming of just one, maaaaaybe two posts a week next week.

But it’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means NIGHTSTAND BOOKS! And I missed last month, so I have to make up for it now!

Adventures, Episodes, and Nightstand Books: April/May 2021

The end of last week got a little busy, so I’m combining my April Adventures with my May Nighstand Books post. I didn’t figure anyone would mind. grin

April Writing Adventures

April felt like a bit of a rough month, writing-wise. We started the month off with a birthday and a holiday weekend plus hosting our homeschool group activity, and then dove straight into all my children getting colds, which took up the first week and a half of April. Then the second week of April saw me battling the headache from the abyss for 4 days straight… during which time I did not have a full-on migraine, but I couldn’t read or write at ALL.

Nightstand Books April 2021

April has arrived! And you know what this means! A new month, a new list of books to read (or continue reading).

It has been a fantastic reading year for me already. I’ve found some new favorites, and I’ve already read 31 of the 50 books-goal I set over at Goodreads.

But a dear friend reminded me last week in her blog post about the need to not run the creative well dry. Last year saw me struggle a lot with this, and although I’ve started out strong in 2021, I will confess that I started to feel the ripply edges of burnout flickering about my heart and soul in the second half of March.

March Nightstand Books + February Adventures and Episodes

Alas! February has drawn to a close, and now a new month is upon us!

But it was an incredibly fun February is Fantasy Month event! I’m still catching up on READING blog posts, so if I haven’t swung by and commented, never fear, I’ll make it over soon. Thank you so much to everyone who participated, commented, posted, shared photos, and just generally made me feel like not-a-failure for everything being a little different this year.

In fact, I think laid-back worked way better than my frantic hectic posting-every-day, and we shall probably stick to this sort of schedule in the future!

Today, I’m combining my end of the month Adventures and Episodes post with the monthly Nightstand Books post, as we were on a quick and short family vacation over the final weekend of February.
