nightstand

the other day i went to powell's to buy a book that karen recommended that i read. i found the book pretty quick - and of course looked through all the copies there to find the cheapest used one. after i had found the book i wanted, this other book caught my eye. i always get distracted by books when im in a bookstore. i know - you're thinking "but stef - you're in a book store, of course you're going to browse other books," just stick with me. i found this book called A Monk's alphabet. its written by a monk who lives part of the year in Oregon and the other part of the year in Rome (!!!). they are just little entries with one or two word titles. i sat down and read a couple of entries while i was at powell's. this guy is a great writer, i would totally recommend this book. but i havent finished it yet - so the recommendation cannot be official until i've completed it.

anyway - all this to say, i love my nightstand right now. my room is kind of tiny and cramped, and because of that it always seems to be a mess. but the other day i walked into my room and saw my nightstand and it made me smile - so i thought i'd share. they're all christian type books, except for The Know-It-All, but that's written by A.J. Jacobs and he also wrote A Year of Living Biblically, so it still kinda fits.
