On My Nightstand

On My Nightstand

It’s funny how sometimes, there’s nothing I’d rather do than dive into an engrossing novel to unwind…and other times (like this month), I’m totally in the mood for nonfiction works that enrich my body, mind and spirit. I’ll be heading to LA and Aspen during the next few weeks, and I’m loading up my iPad… read more


On My Nightstand

Most nights spent at home these days, after we’ve put Phoebe down, prepared dinner and put away the dishes, I’m confronted with 3 choices: work on my laptop, watch TV or read a book. Lately I’m trying to do much less of the first two and more of the latter, and it’s amazing how much… read more


On My Nightstand

This month’s books left me feeling inspired, from a memoir that explored the relationship between a son and his mother who left an indelible mark on everyone in her world, to the breathtaking images of fashion photographer Anne Menke’s global travels. What type of books are inspiring all of you lately? Beautifully-written novels, biographies of great… read more


On My Nightstand

Did anyone else resolve to read more books this year? I committed to, at the very minimum, consistently finish my book club’s selections. They’re always great, I just sometimes don’t manage to quite get to the last page before we meet. Anyway, reading is such an incredible way to feed the mind and soul, and… read more


On My Nightstand

I thought that I’d have zero time for reading with a newborn, but as it turns out, having great books loaded onto my iPad has been lifesaving for getting through those middle-of-the-night feedings! Being at home more than usual has also give me the itch to expand my horizons a bit, and reading some things… read more


On My Nightstand

Can’t believe another month has come and gone, and it’s already time for a fresh crop of reading material! Now that I’m in my third trimester, I’m definitely squeezing in some last-minute baby & parenting books (current read is Happiest Baby on the Block) but also mixing in fun non-baby-related material so I don’t go… read more


On My Nightstand

I’m a little giddy about this month’s reading list since these are all books I’ve been dying to crack open. And since I have two west coast trips on the calendar between now and the end of the month, I should definitely be able to squeeze in some quality reading time. I’ve been really into pregnancy… read more


On My Nightstand

I’ve been really excited about this month’s installment of On My Nightstand, since I’ve been on a major reading kick lately. There are so many books on my list right now that I can barely keep up with what I’ve downloaded to my iPad, but I’m still pumped to hear your recommendations for this month –… read more


On My Nightstand…

Last month’s On My Nightstand turned into such an inspiring give-and-take of reading ideas, I decided it must become a monthly installment, no? Two of my current selections were ones that y’all recommended, and my only problem now is deciding which to pick up every night since I’m so excited about tackling each one. Currently on my… read more


On My Nightstand…

I’ve been in a major reading mood lately, curling up in bed almost every night with a book or mag that I can’t put down until my eyes force themselves shut. Thought I’d share what’s currently sitting on my nightstand… … read more
