Bookish and Not So Bookish Thoughts (3)

I'm linking with Bookishly Boisterous' "Bookish and Not So Bookish Thoughts" again this week.  Check out other posts here!

1.) I recently discovered that my local library's elibrary has gotten a whole lot better than it used to be.  It's still not great but I have found several books from my TBR list that are available to borrow in ebook format.

2.) I am seriously fighting the urge to go on a book buying spree.  Not for budgetary reasons or anything, I just don't think I need to spend money on books right now.  I love my local library and want to get back to using it again.  Why spend money when there are so many books available for free at the library?

3.) I still haven't decided what I want to do with this blog.  I have commitments scheduled for March and April but I think I'm going to leave May wide open.  I am having a hard time deciding because I am also taking a class this semester and it's taking a lot more of my time than I expected.  It's hard to decide if I have time to keep up the blog when I have other commitments to deal with first.

4.) My little Julia cut her first tooth last weekend!  I can't wait until it's all the way up because her little grin is going to be even more adorable with a tooth.

5.) I stayed up way too late last night finishing a book.  I haven't done that in a long time and it was kind of nice to have that time to myself.  I'll pay for it today but that's okay.

6.) The book I was reading was Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn.  Man, I don't even know what to say about it.  It completely freaked me out and I haven't decided if I really liked it or just think it was a well-written story.  It's hard to say.

7.) My husband works graveyard shift and so I am on my own with Julia and Turbo in the mornings )(as well as all night long).  Lately, the mornings have not been going as smooth as I would like and I am kind of over it.  I shouldn't complain because it could be a whole lot worse but still.

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

  1. I also stated up late reading Sharp Objects. Not finished yet, but very much enjoying it! It's coming out as a movie this year, as well as Gone Girl, which I loved!

  2. I've read Gone Girl and Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. Apparently, I need to hurry up and read Sharp Objects, too. :)

  3. An all-nighter in the name of a good book is completely warranted on occasion!

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?
