In My Mailbox (20)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.  It is a great way to showcase books I have picked up during the week.

Today is my one year wedding anniversary so this is is what I was up to one year ago today:
The year has gone by pretty fast but overall it's been great!

I also received a TON of great books this week.  I know that I am trying to read books I own but it's so hard to resist picking up more books!  My local library book sale starts on Thursday and even though I shouldn't go, I have a coupon for one free book so I can't stay away.  : )

From the Library I picked up:

Bright Sided:  How the Relentess Promotion of Positive Thinking has Underminded America by Barbara Ehrenreich
The Seige by Helen Dunmore
At Home by Bill Bryson

My online book club held a Halloween book exchange and I got some books that I am super excited to read!!

Dark Lover by J.R. Ward
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

  3. I also bought the City of Ashes! I swear, I had the whole series, expect the second book. Every time, I would go to the store, they wouldn't have it, or they just sold out. Anyways, I hope we enjoy it(:

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?
