Book Blog Hop (5)

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books and it's a way to for book bloggers to connect and check out other blogs.

This week's question is:  How many books are currently in your 'To Be Read' (TBR) pile?

My goodreads 'to be read' list says that I have 153 books on it.  I feel like there may be more.  I never really make progress in my TBR pile because I am always adding more books to it.

How about you?  How many books are in your TBR pile?

    I have a lot, LOT!, of books in my list. But, my pile is small and I like it that way. It's not so overwhelming then! haha.

    My hop is here:

    I don't know exactly how many are on my TBR shelves, but I did have to add a shelf a couple of weeks ago! :)

    Have a good weekend

    I remember fondly the days when I only had 150 or so books on my TBR. Come read my Book Blogger Hop post in which I discuss my TBR and coin a new way of measuring it.

    Our TBR piles are similar in size. I keep adding to it also! I love the title of your bog by the way, it's so accurate.

    153 isn't too bad compared to what I see on other blogs. I only have 29 to be read. Pretty manageable.

    NEW FOLLOWER!!

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over...

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...

Review and Giveaway: "This Son of York" by Anne Easter Smith

Synopsis: Now is the winter of our discontent, Made glorious summer by This Son of York…” — William Shakespeare, Richard III Richard III was Anne’s muse for her first five books, but, finally, in This Son of York he becomes her protagonist. The story of this English king is one of history’s most compelling, made even more fascinating through the discovery in 2012 of his bones buried under a car park in Leicester. This new portrait of England’s most controversial king is meticulously researched and brings to vivid life the troubled, complex Richard of Gloucester, who ruled for two years over an England tired of war and civil strife. The loyal and dutiful youngest son of York, Richard lived most of his short life in the shadow of his brother, Edward IV, loyally supporting his sibling until the mantle of power was thrust unexpectedly on him. Some of his actions and motives were misunderstood by his enemies to have been a deliberate usurpation of the throne, but thr...
