Greetings, book lovers! Today we bring you another entry in our “What’s On Your Nightstand?” series. This is a chance for parents to see what other SLOCA parents are reading these days. Are you looking for a good book? Perhaps something here will strike your fancy. Or maybe you’ve read one of these recently and would love to hear what someone else thought of it. Or maybe you just like seeing people’s nightstands… whatever the case, we hope you enjoy this quick look:

Do you have a stack of books on your literal or figurative nightstand? Whether audible, ebooks, or printed books, we love to share what we are reading with other parents. If you are interested in taking part in this series during Trimester 2 or 3 this year, please email Down Home and let us know. We would love to add you to our list and find out what’s on your nightstand!
