In My Mailbox (18)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren

This week I planned to not get any books.  I am pretty overwhelmed with books right now and really should be reading the tons of books I own and haven't gotten to as well as a couple of galleys I have.  My new job is keeping me busy so my reading time has diminished.  I have so much to read that I am tempted to skip our local library book sale in two weeks so as not to add to the stack (CRAZY I know but I bought 17 books at the sale in April and haven't even read half of them).  Anyway, I just wanted to let you that my mailbox may be empty for a few weeks.

So here is what I picked up this week at the library:




I thought this book sounded like a really good Halloween type book.  Speaking of Halloween, I am super excited to participate in the October readalong of Dracula hosted by A Literary Odyssey  I have been wanting to read this for a while and this will give me the push to do so.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great week!  Did you get anything exciting in your mailbox this week?

  2. I hear ya about not buying anything more. Hahha. Most of my own personal posts are about books I borrowed from the library - and a great many of them are picture books at that.

    This book you have here looks interesting though. Enjoy reading your TBR!

  3. I am trying to limit books, but when one that looks fabulous comes around it's hard to not want it. Looks like a great book. Here is my mailbox.

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

Book Blog Hop (11)

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books .  It's a way to meet other bloggers and check out some cool new blogs. 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?
