May Twitterature: The Books on My Nightstand

I'm linking up with Anne at Modern Mrs. Darcy again for this month's Twitterature, where we report what we've been reading--the good, the bad, & the ugly--in short, pithy blurbs replete with hash tags and affiliate links because, well, every little bit helps, right? :)

What I've Read

 

Hamlet, William Shakespeare

"Get thee to a nunnery!" Was Hamlet mad? Grief-stricken? Whatever the case, this classic tragedy is filled with parenting lessons, teenage angst, & humor. #revengeisneversweet

The Hidden Art of Homemaking, Edith Schaeffer

My go-to source for inspiration as a SAHM. Tons of ideas on how to make your home a haven and use your God-given talents in the process. #homemakingisanart

Mourn Not Your Dead, Deborah Crombie

4th in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series. Highly respected major murdered in his home but mourned by none. Appearances aren't always as they seem. #Britishwhodunit #Texan author #beachreading

 

What I'm Currently Reading

 

All Shall Be Well, Deborah Crombie

3rd in the series (yes, I'm going backwards). Follows Duncan's investigation of his neighbor's suspicious death.  #veryAgathaChristie #morebeachreading #greatseries
 

Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert

One woman's quest for fulfillment, which continually leads to disappointment. Very evocative, especially for 19th century, pre-Hollywood lit. An easy read for a classic, but a bit disconcerting even in the 21st century. 

The Passionate Mom: Dare to Parent in Today's World, Susan Merrill

My new favorite mothering book that's really encouraging me to be more intentional with my time and attention to my kids. #passiontakesaction



That's what's been/is occupying my nightstand. What about you? 

Have you been reading any good books that I need to add to my Goodreads shelf? Please leave a comment sharing your suggestions.
