The folks at 5 Minutes For Books host What’s On Your Nightstand? the fourth Tuesday of each month in which we can share about the books we have been reading and/or plan to read. You can learn more about it by clicking the link or the button.
Since last time I finished:
In the Company of Others, a new Father Tim (of the Mitford series) novel by Jan Karon, reviewed here.
After the Funeral, a Hercule Poirot novel, A Murder Is Announced, featuring Miss Marple, both by Agatha Christie, reviewed together here. Very good for that genre, though that genre isn’t my favorite. But I am glad to have finally read Christie.
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus: Experiencing the Peace and Promise of Christmas, several essays on various aspects of Christmas from Martin Luther, Spurgeon, Martin Lloyd-Jones, John Piper, and others, compiled by Nancy Guthrie.
Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room: Daily Family Devotions for Advent by Nancy Guthrie.
Finding Christmas: Stories of Startling Joy and Perfect Peace by James Calvin Schaap.
Treasure of Christmas, a collection of three stories by Melody Carlson.
Christmas at Harrington’s by Melody Carlson.
The Christmas reads are all summarized with a little more detail here.
I am currently reading 50 People Every Christian Should Know: Learning From Spiritual Giants of the Faith by Warren Wiersbe and A Novel Idea: Everything You Need to Know about Writing Inspirational Fiction but both of those are books I want to read a bit from at a time rather than reading straight through.
Waiting in the queue are: A Memory Between Us by Sarah Sundin, second in the Wings of Glory WWI series; Snow Day by Billey Coffey; Faithful by Kim Cash Tate. I also have a couple of books about women’s ministry on hand.
Plus Carrie at Reading to Know is holding a Lucy Maud Montgomery Reading Challenge in January. Last year I read Anne of Green Gables again; this year I’ll read the next Anne books and go through as many as I can during the month. Eventually I’d like to get to some of LMM’s other books as well.
Happy Reading!
Stray Thoughts 
Sounds like a great list. Happy reading!
You’ve kept up a healthy pace in the busy season!
I may have mentioned before that we have a Nancy Guthrie family devotional. I wish I could figure out how to work it into our time together better. I do like the way she thinks.
I think because a lot of the Christmas non-fiction was set up for reading 1-3 pages at a time, it was fairly easy to get through. Otherwise I could usually never read that much non-fiction in a month. I don’t usually like to have so many devotionals going at once because then I’d fell I was losing the impact of them, but for some reason I just wanted to this month.
Ooo–I want to read that 50 People Every Christian Should Know. I feel that my knowledge of church history is sadly lacking. But maybe you’ll share tidbits as you read? 🙂
All your Christmas books sound so interesting. I didn’t do so good on my Christmas books this year; some were okay; some not so good. I’ll look forward to your reviews of your new books!
I’m planning to do Carrie’s LM Montgomery challenge also! Happy reading!
I’ve had the “50 People” book on my want-to-read list for awhile now. Great list!
Yay! Glad you are in with the LMM Challenge! I can’t wait to hear what you think of the other books in the series.
I am reading Ann of Green Gables to my kids. What a fantastic series. Looks like you are doing some fun reading!
