Book Blog Hop (14)

The Book Blog Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books.  It is a great way to hook up with other bloggers and check out cool blogs.  I am sorry I am posting this so late, my new job is keeping me pretty busy!

This week's question:  What is the longest book you have ever read?

I am not sure which is the longest, but I have read War and Peace, Atlas Shrugged, and The Stand and they are all super long!

What about you?

  1. New follower from the Book Blogger Hop. I love your blog name! I designed a t-shirt that said that. When I googled longest novels it brought up Atlas Shrugged as one of the top 10 longest.

  3. Thanks for stopping by my blog! Yay for The Stand :-) I've not read AS or W&P but they're whoppers too!

  4. I think War and Peace is probably the longest on you list. It has just under 1500 depending on which edition you read. Good on you. I got half way through. I ended up reading something else in between and didn't go back to it even though I was enjoying it. I think I would need to start again now.

  5. Whew, your list is impressive! I've never read War and Peace, but one day I plan to tackle it. That one day is probably decades away, though...

  6. I do want to read War and Peace one day, but I think my Steven King days are behind me. I'm too much of a scaredy-cat any more. I was a lot braver when I was younger. Now I can't risk a sleepless night!

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

Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Recommend the Most 1.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons   2.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon           If you read my blog at all, you know I love these two books so much!  I am not afraid to suggest them to anyone who I think might enjoy them. 3.) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was definitely recommending this book left and right when the first movie came out. 4.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 5.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin           These are two books that I just recently started recommending but they are books that can appeal to anyone so they are easy picks when someone asks for a recommendation. 6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead  - I get a little embarrassed when I recommend this book to people but seriously, just because it has vampires does not mean it is like Twilight. 7.) The Giver by Lois

This week's question is:  "Highlight one book you have received this week that you can't wait to dig into!" Okay, I have a confession to make.  I have been so busy this week that I have not had time to get any new books.  I have several waiting for me at the library but I won't be able to pick them up until this weekend.  : ( Did you all get any exciting new books this week?
