Books on the Nightstand, Episode 50 (18:13)

Here we are, our 50th episode!  It’s been amazing and we’re looking forward to what the future brings for Books on the Nightstand. We couldn’t have come this far (or had such a great time!) if it weren’t for all of you, our loyal readers and listeners. 

Thank you so much to Denise, Ashley and Shona who wrote in, and to Heather, Melissa, Suzanne and Tanya who called our voice mail line. They all shared books they loved, that they heard about here. All of the books mentioned are listed below and the titles link back to the original post or podcast where we first talked about the book. If you’ve been thinking about reading any of these, they now have even more enthusiasm behind them!

As Ann mentioned, Tanya’s story about Waiting for Columbus originally appeared in a guest post she wrote for us. If you haven’t read her post yet, you must. Once you do, you’ll want to listen to the audio or read the book for yourself!

Once again, thank you all for your continued support of Books on the Nightstand!
