What's On Your Nightstand is hosted by 5 Minutes for Books. I'm reading a handful of books:
The Magic Pudding by Normal Lindsay. I only recently heard of this Australian children's classic originally published in 1918. It's a short read--144 pages--divided into "four slices." The illustrations are so much fun! I've read the first two slices so far, and it's LOVE. The hero of this one is a koala named Bunyip Bluegum.
Insurgent by Veronica Roth. I'm rereading Insurgent in anticipation of the release of Allegiant this fall.
Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer. I really enjoyed Short-Straw Bride, and I am enjoying her newest book too.
Mary Poppins Comes Back. P.L. Travers. I finished Mary Poppins last night and I can't wait to start the next book in the series.

Great list! I am really looking forward to Allegiant coming out!
I love your list! I really enjoyed Short Straw Bride and am looking forward to Stealing the Preacher too!
I've seen Stealing the Preacher mentioned on several Nightstand posts. I hadn't originally thought it was something I'd be interested in, but I might rethink that!
Interesting selection, Becky! As for me, I have too many books on my nightstand right now....
My son is reading DIVERGENT right now, but I haven't read any of the series. He's enjoying it so far, so I'm thinking that I might have to give it a try at some point.
Thanks for linking up!

I LOVE The Magic Pudding! And since having read it, I've seen it pop up everywhere. I have to resist the urge to purchase every copy I find and distribute them. Although isn't what you are supposed to do with the good ones?
Happy reading!
