Tails from the Nightstand
Tails from the Nightstand | B A Cameron
8 posts
Serena Campbell's life isn't easy, but it's a good life and she's worked hard to make it that way. Lately, however, she is beginning to question her measure of what success really means and has a nagging feeling that something is missing. As the mother of two intellectually gifted daughters and the counsellor of cognitively delayed youth, Serena swings back and forth between dichotomies of abundance and lack, intellect and disability, over-protection and neglect, humour and horror. Careful to never let her worlds collide, she purges her thoughts and emotions onto paper and squirrels her words away into a crammed nightstand until she is inspired to pursue a dream that Serena believed had died inside her long ago.

This is the stack of books that no longer fit on my bookshelf. My husband says I have a problem, I don‘t see it

BookishMarginalia Your problem is that you need more bookshelves. Is that what he means? 4y
GloVerdino @BookishMarginalia ah, now I see it! 4y

So many books on my nightstand. And I‘m only reading two.

Since I'm away from home and my nightstand, I took a picture of my #tbrpile for the #24in48 #hour18 challenge! My nightstand usually has whatever books I'm reading currently, a basket of bookmarks, headphones, and scraps of paper and pens for note taking! 😉 Not pictured are my audio books and e-books!

For #24in48, hour 18 challenge: what‘s on your nightstand?

I‘m pretty much a nightstand minimalist because one of my cats loves to throw everything on the floor. So generally it‘s just my current read, glasses, a glass of water, and right now my “replacement uterus “ that my sister just sent me because I had to have mine removed last week. She makes me smile. 😊🤣

Today‘s #12daysofbookstagram prompt is nightstand, which forces me to confess to everyone that my nightstand only occasionally hosts my kindle and no other book related items. Instead of staging something for you, here is our other end table-Tom uses it for his book stacks and other necessities.

Pamwurtzler Where‘s The Canterbury Tales??? 7y
drbethandherkindle @Pamwurtzler I think he gave up 😂😂 I told him he didn‘t have to keep slogging through a book he didn‘t enjoy reading 7y
Pamwurtzler So kind of you. 7y

Here is what's #Onmynightstand - books that I'm reading a little at a time (happier at home, how to talk so kids will listen) my knitting, and a statue (which I thought was a Buddha, but further searching seems it is likely Confucius) of my dad's. #aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading

Jess_Read_This Your Buddha is so neat! You have a peaceful nightstand. 😊 8y
Blaire @Jess_Read_This thank you! Have to admit, my mom told me this was a Buddha of my dad's, but further research (googling) makes me think it is actually Confucius. Oops! Anyhow it was meaningful to my dad. 8y

My view while #readinginbed. Hoping I'm not the only one with a precarious pile on the nightstand! #iswearitwastidy2daysago #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading

CherylDeFranceschi You definitely are not!!! 8y
athorne Nope! My night stand is a book shelf full of unread books... 8y
Centique Sometimes I knock my pile over while I'm sleeping and upend the lamp as well 😳😂 8y

ReadingEnvy Mine is so precarious that things go missing there.... 8y
kspenmoll The floor next to my bed looks like that multiplied by 20! Have to wade thru when i get up!📚📚📚📚📚 8y
Cortg My piles are a little neater BUT I have dressers on each side of the bed rather than nightstands so there is a LOT of surface space for books to spread! 8y
Jenshootsweddings @Cortg ooooooooh dressers??? That's such a great idea 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa That looks very familiar! 8y
Cortg @Jenshootsweddings Yes, dressers! It was the best configuration I could come up with due to window and door placements in a 1965 home. It actually works well and eliminates too much furniture. Just a bed, 2 dressers and a bench at the foot of the bed. 8y
LauraBrook Mine looks much the same. Only add a few of those books into a floor pile every night. One of my cats like to wake me up by pushing books on the floor sometimes. He's lucky he's cute! 8y
minkyb Mine looks much the same as well. The space had gotten so precarious I moved the clock to make more room for bookish things! 8y
TheCanuckReader If you can believe it this stand was CLEAR except for the clock and lamp....last week! 8y
