Top Ten Books Whose Title/Cover Made Me Buy It

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic is: 

Top Ten Books That Whose Titles Or Covers Made Me Buy It
I only have 5 books on my list this week as I just could not think of any others that would fit.
1.)     Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children-The cover of this book is so creepy that I couldn’t resist buying it.
2.)    The Bronze Horseman-The only reason I picked up this book is because it has the same title as a famous Pushkin poem as well a statue in St. Petersburg.
3.)    The Witch of Cologne by Tobsha Learner- I have picked up this book multiple times and finally purchased it last week.  The cover is so odd looking that I am completely intrigued by it.
4.)    Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater-I don’t think I would have bought this if the cover wasn’t so beautiful.
5.)    The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance by Elna Baker-I haven’t this yet but I bought it for my nook because the title just sounds hilarious.
6.)    The Lonely Polygamist by Brady Udall- I really didn’t like this book at all but the title was so interesting that I couldn’t resist.
What covers/titles do you love?

    I agree with Trish. I have seen this one around, but it is the reviews I have read that really make it sound great!

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 this week?

Mailbox Monday (78)

 Happy Sunday everybody!  September is over and I can hardly believe it.  It seems as though the month has flown by.  Now I'm excited for fall and all of the upcoming holidays.  October is the start of my favorite time of year and I'm hoping there will be plenty of room for reading in between all of the upcoming events. I requested some new holiday books from the library and had no idea all of my holds would come in at once so I need to get moving on these.  I'm really excited to dig into some sweet, fluffy reads and these will do just the trick. From the Library: A Snow Country Christmas by Linda Lael Miller This is the fourth book in a series that I really enjoyed so I'm eager to get started on it. Holly and Ivy by Fern Michaels The Christmas Room by Catherine Anderson I was so intrigued by the cover on this one that I had to pick it up. For Review (from NetGalley): I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon     I really need to st
