Mailbox Monday (42)

Hello!  It's time for Mailbox Monday again!  

I hope everyone had a great week!  Friday was my birthday and I got a Barnes and Noble gift card; I'm still deciding what to get.  I'm not sure if I want to get the Harry Potter box set or if I just want to blow it all on ebooks.  Decisions, decisions. 

This week I received a couple of ebooks.  I love ebooks because they don't take up a lot of space but it also doesn't feel like I got anything because they aren't really tangible.  Oh well, they're still books!

From the Library (ebook):



I'm reading it right now and it's haunting but so good.

For Review (from HFVBT):




What books did you get this week?

  1. I keep reading about how good Redeployment is but I just don't know if I can handle it. I didn't go get myself anything this past week but I still have gift cards from Christmas to use so I may pop over to the bookstore tomorrow. :-)

  3. I really liked Redeployment and hope you do too! Ebooks are great, though they do take up space on the e-reader- I'm always running out of room, lol :)
    Happy reading and have a good week!

  6. Two books with "witch" in them. :) I love both covers. M. J. Rose's book has a gorgeous cover. I just can't get into her books, though. :(

    ENJOY your reading week.

  7. First of all, and most importantly, Happy Belated Birthday!

    As for the books, I'm also supposed to be reviewing M.J. Rose's book in the next few months. I read one book from her last year and really enjoyed it. Hopefully this book is one we both wind up enjoying as well!

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?
