This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Resolve to Read in 2013
 
Happy New Year everyone!!!  There are a lot of books that I really need to get to this year but here are the ones at the top of my list.

1.) 11/22/63 by Stephen King-I got this for Christmas last year and I still haven't read it!  I must get to it!
2.) Cloudsplitter by Russell Banks-Another book I got at Christmas last year.  I'm such a slacker.
3.) Children of Liberty by Paullina Simons-This is a prequel to The Bronze Horseman and it comes out in February. I can't wait to read this!
4.) A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin-I really miss the whole Stark gang and want to make some progress on the series this year.
5.) The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien-I loved The Fellowship of the Ring and hope I will like this one as much.
6.) City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare-I am not super excited to read this but I really need to get caught up on the Mortal Instruments.
7.) The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead-I am so ready to see what Sidney and Adrian have been up to!
8.) Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare-I am curious to see how this trilogy will end.  I have enjoyed it so far and hope this book is just as good.
9.) Lover at Last by J.R. Ward-More of the Black Dagger Brotherhood?  Yes, please.
10.) The Waste Lands by Stephen King-It's been a while since I read book #2 in the Dark Tower series and I think I am ready for book #3.

    I haven't read City of Lost Souls yet, either. I have a copy, but I think I might wait until the release of City of Heavenly Fire is closer.

    Happy New Year!

    I can't wait to read Clockwork Princess! I definitely like the infernal devices better than the mortal instruments.

    Although the book I most want to read in 2013, is The Ward, a YA dystopian. I may be a little biased, since it was written by my college roommate who was one of my bridesmaids, but still.... I think it's going to be awesome!

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: "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...

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...
