May Wrap Up

Ugh, I am so glad May is over.  It was a ridiculously busy month both at work and at home and frankly, I'm exhausted.  I didn't read much this month and just wasn't feeling anything I did pick up (for the most part).  I read 5 books in May which puts me at 33/50 for the year.  I am 13 books ahead of schedule so I'm sure I'll meet my goal, I'm just glad I haven't upped it yet.

June is looking to be a busy month; Julia is turning 1 and we are having a big party for her.  I can't wait!  I will definitely be sharing pictures of the things I'm working on as it gets closer.  Hopefully I can get out of my reading slump this month though I'm not sure how much time I'll have to read.

Here is what I read in May:

1.) The King by J.R. Ward
2.) Growing Up Duggar by Jill, Jana, Jessa and Jinger Duggar
3.) Winter Fire by Kathy Fischer-Brown
4.) Love and Treasure by Ayelet Waldman
5.) All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner

What did you read in May?  How are you doing with your reading goals?

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

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?
