What's on Your Nightstand - December 27

Didn't get a lot done this past month; seemed that I just couldn't get myself to calm down enough to get a number of books completed and it seems that only in the last few days that I have gotten to the point that I can just sit down and read, who knows what will happen in the next few days.  I suppose it didn't help that I had some fairly easy books that I was able to complete during November and December I just seemed to be caught up with getting the Steve Jobs book, which I didn't, but I plan on reading and completing it in the New Year.

Reviews:
1. Lost December
2. The Quiet Little Woman
3. The Christmas Wedding

What I am currently reading:
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - I am still on my Harry Potter kick and am hoping to finishing this book in the next few days

• The Gift - I am going to spend more time reading this book over the next few days in hopes that I can get it done and comment on it; seem to be just not reading it.

I have a few other books that I am reading at the moment, but I those are the two that I am going to be concentrating on.  See you next month.

December usually ends up being either a really good month for reading or a really bad month for reading--except that I'm not sure which it was for me :-)

The Louisa May Alcott stories sound interesting--and I always enjoy Evans, although it's true that he can be rather simplistic.

Oh, Harry Potter, how we all adore him. :)

Happy reading in 2012!

I thought I had read all Alcott's books, but I don't think I have seen that one. Will have to look for it!

I've been terrible about reading this month, too. I've been working on a challenge to read 50 books by the end of the year, and once I had the end in sight I just got lazy, LOL!

I found your site through the What's On Your Nightstand meme -- nice to meet you!

I have had trouble fitting my reading in over the last few weeks as well. Thanks for sharing your list!

I reviewed Richard Paul Evans's Christmas book last year and really liked it. Lost December sounds more grounded in reality than Promise Me was. :) The Quiet Little Woman sounds good too, I wasn't aware these stories existed!

I am a sucker for Christmas stories, even if they are sometimes a bit cheesy!

Happy New Year!
