What's On My Bedside Table is a new, sporadic feature on Perusing Bookshelves. Being a huge mood reader, Kat wanted a bookish feature that would convey the whimsical side of her. In this feature she will be featuring the various stuff on her bedside table: books that she's meaning to -but not necessarily- read, souvenirs from places that she's been to lately, or perhaps a bookmark that she's dying to show you all. Who knows?
Why a bedside table and not a nightstand? Two reasons: 1) Kat doesn't have a nightstand, and 2) Bedside tables provide way more book-piling space. Especially if you're suddenly in the mood for 2561957 books at once. What's On My Bedside Table is a new, sporadic feature on Perusing Bookshelves.

Who knows? I just haven't had much luck with reading this month. As you know from my January wrap-up, I got off to a rocky start this year, but today we'll focus on more happier things, AKA books. 1. Keep Calm and Write On Notebook Even though I've always wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo -or just write a story in general- , I never get around to doing that. I'll either be too busy, or I just don't have the determination to finish a novel in a month's time because we all know NaNo will turn you into one crazy writer. That's why, to make good on my 2015 resolution, I now have this handy Keep Calm and Write On notebook -to jot things down and plan stuff. I assure you, it was love at first sight. 2. Popular: Vintage Wisdom for A Modern Geek Popular: Vintage Wisdom For A Modern Geek is a book that I can take off my bedside table and enjoy any time. It's a memoir written by a teenager who finds an old book that teaches you how to be popular, and decides to implement tips from the book into real life, regardless of how stupid they are. This book, written by Maya, is a really fun read - I find it easy to relate to Maya because we've all been in her situation, more or less. Even though I'm far from finishing it, her stories have ignited something raw in me: to just be who I am, and to be kind to people. 3. The Rosie Project The main and initial reason why I picked up The Rosie Project is because I was approved for a review copy of The Rosie Effect on NetGalley. I've read some praise on The Rosie Project, and even though I wasn't so sure about it I went ahead and requested The Rosie Effect, because that's just how I roll. Now, I'm glad that my sudden impulse to request TRP introduced me to the craziness that is The Rosie Project. The story and its character grows on you; I was a bit bored by the first few chapters but it gets better and the characters are a lot of fun to hang out with. I'm overly surprised and pleased by this book, and I'm sure The Rosie Effect will bring me the same level of suspense and entertainment. 4. The Morrow Secrets The Morrow Secrets is a book that I was really in a struggle to finish, chiefly because I didn't feel at all interested in the story. I mean, the premise is great. The story gives off a dark and spooky vibe but the characters are just meh, which is a bookish turn-off of mine. I've decided to put The Morrow Secrets down for a while and just let myself get into the mood to read it again.

Kat is a voracious reader who enjoys nothing more than losing herself in a good book. Fantasy is definitely her cup of tea. She often complains about never having enough time to read and constantly struggles with keeping her TBR pile a considerably decent size. Read more or keep up with her bookish whims on Goodreads or bloglovin.
