Top Ten Books I Want to Reread

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.
This week's top is:  Top Ten Books I Want to Reread

1.)     We the Living by Ayn Rand-I know I have said it many times before but this is one of my top two favorite books of all time.  I have read it at least 4 times but it has been several years since my last reread and I am hoping to read it again this Fall.
2.)    Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice-This is one of the Vampire Chronicles and I really loved it and its opinions on Christianity.
3.)    The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons-I read this in January but after my online book group discussed it last month, I have been itching to pick it up again.
4.)    The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins-I will probably reread this before the movie comes out in March.
5.)    The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov-I have always meant to reread this book but have never had the time.
6.)    The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova-I LOVE this book and for some reason feel like I would enjoy it a second time.
7.)    Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky-I remember really liking this book but I can’t remember why because I read it 8 or 9 years ago.
8.)    Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte-This is another book I read ages ago and need to go back to.
9.)    The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
10.) The Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder
What’s on your list of books to reread?

    Great selection. I loved the Hunger Games as well. The others I have read, but not in love with enough to want to re-read. Atleast not yet.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I almost put Memnoch on mine. I am actually scared of rereading it because I read it in high school and felt blown away. I am scared that if I read it now I will be disappointed in it.

    I've been meaning to reread Jane Eyre and The Historian too. I even dl'd Jane to my kindle after reading the modern retelling (which I really liked), but I haven't gotten started on the actual reading!

    Also oh, the Little House books. I reread them whenever I'm having a bad week, and they also make me happy.

    Happy reading!

    I haven't read too many of the books on your list, but I have read We the Living. It is the only Ayn Rand I've read to date, but wow I enjoyed it. Even though it was bleak and pretty heartbreaking, I think I learned a lot about Communist Russia that I never knew before. It really made me more interested in other historical fiction. Nice list!

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...
