Stacking the Shelves (3)



Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by Tynga's Reviews.  It is a great way to showcase any books received during the week.

Even though I am completely overwhelmed with books right now, I picked up a few more this week.  I need a week long vacation just to get caught up on reading!


From the Library:
Jeneration X by Jen Lancaster
Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare


From NetGalley:
Her Highness, the Traitor by Susan Higginbotham

What books did you pick up this week?

    I know what you mean about being overwhelmed by books. I have vowed not to go to NetGalley except to post reviews for books I already have until I have caught up. I do hope you enjoy the books you got. My new book posts are here and here. Happy reading!

    I have not read Clockwork Prince yet maybe I need to check it out. Seems like everyone but me has read it or are going to read it.
    Hope you enjoy all of your books.

    Her Highness the Traitor doesn't sound bad. I'm getting a bit tired of Tudor novels, but that one sounds like it might have something new and different to it. And the cover's nice, all things considered.

    I know exactly what you mean by being overwhelmed with books! But it still doesn't prevent you from buying more :D The temptation is too great :O
    Anyway, I haven't read ANY Cassie Clare yet, but I should really do that soon! Awesome blog, I love it so I'm a new follower :)

Review: "Oleanna" by Julie K. Rose

Synopsis:  Set during the separation of Norway from Sweden in 1905, this richly detailed novel of love and loss was inspired by the life of the author's great-great-aunts. Oleanna and her sister Elisabeth are the last of their family working their farm deep in the western fjordland. A new century has begun, and the world outside is changing, but in the Sunnfjord their world is as small and secluded as the verdant banks of a high mountain lake. The arrival of Anders, a cotter living just across the farm's border, unsettles Oleanna 's peaceful but isolated existence. Sharing a common bond of loneliness and grief, Anders stirs within her the wildness and wanderlust she has worked so hard to tame.

My Thoughts:   I was very surprised by what an absolutely beautiful story Oleanna is.  The ...

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...
