Top Ten Books I'd Play Hooky With


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

This week's topic is:  Top Ten Books I Would Play Hooky With

To be perfectly honest, if I could I would probably play hooky with any book.  I would much rather stay home and read than go to work.  Unfortunately, this time of year is the busiest at work and it's not easy to call in sick.  Here are a few books that might make it super hard for me to go work.
1.) Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward-As I have said before I have been waiting for 9 books to read Tohr's story.  It will be hard to go to work when I know this will be waiting for me at home.
2.) The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead-I miss the Vampire Academy gang!  There was also kind of a cliffhanger at the end of Bloodlines so I want to see where that leads.
3.) Written with My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon-Oh my goodness, I have only been waiting for this book for 3 years!  It's the one book I told the hubs I could break my book buying ban for and I would definitely want to skip work to stay home and read it.
4.) 11/22/63 by Stephen King-I have a feeling this is going to be an epic book.  I may want to lock myself in my room and not leave until it's done.
5.) Les Miserables by Victor Hugo-I am going to read this in 2012 and I am actually excited to do so.  I started it in high school and never finished it but I remember loving what I did read of it.  It's so long that a whole day to myself with it might be helpful.
6.) A Dangerous Inheritance by Alison Weir-I loved Innocent Traitor and am excited to read this sequel. 

I only have 6 this week, sorry!  It's always hard for me to pull away from any book and go to work so this list could be a lot longer.

  2. 11/22/63 is getting great reviews. I think I will get the audio version, though, because it's also loved and I can listen to part of it at work (double score!).

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?
