Where I've Been




I know I've been pretty MIA lately and I'm so sorry about that.  I am still reading but my life has gone from crazy to completely ridiculous this year.  2015 has been ROUGH.  My daughter, in all of her toddler wisdom, has decided that sleep is completely unnecessary so we've been battling that.  No one ever tells that you toddlers have serious sleep issues too (I actually miss the newborn sleep issues, they're 10,000 times easier to deal with).  It got so bad we had to hire a sleep consultant!  It's slowly getting better but still far from where I want to be. 


In addition, my job and workplace has been like working in the looney bin; I've been swamped and there has been an excessive amount of workplace drama going on.  Some days it seems like we should have our own show, like 'The Office' because it's so bizarre here.

Sorry for all the whining, to my main point:  between work and home right now, blogging has kind of fallen to the wayside.  We've implemented changes to my daughter's sleep schedule that have made it impossible for me to have very much free time at home (my house is a mess, I can't exercise, etc.)  I'm hoping to adjust to this new normal soon but in the interim, please forgive me for not blogging very much.  I'm not ready to give up the blog yet but it's going to be a month or two before things get back to some version of 'normal'.

I will be attempting (hahaha) to participate in Dewey's Read - A - Thon this weekend so you can check on my progress (or lack thereof) on twitter (@so_many_books).  I foresee that most of my reading will be comprised of board books but I'm going to try to get some other reading in.  

Thank you so much for bearing with me during this time.

    So sorry to hear about the sleep issues! I'm glad you could consult a sleep expert, though. Hopefully that will help.

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...

Mailbox Monday (78)

 Happy Sunday everybody!  September is over and I can hardly believe it.  It seems as though the month has flown by.  Now I'm excited for fall and all of the upcoming holidays.  October is the start of my favorite time of year and I'm hoping there will be plenty of room for reading in between all of the upcoming events. I requested some new holiday books from the library and had no idea all of my holds would come in at once so I need to get moving on these.  I'm really excited to dig into some sweet, fluffy reads and these will do just the trick. From the Library: A Snow Country Christmas by Linda Lael Miller This is the fourth book in a series that I really enjoyed so I'm eager to get started on it. Holly and Ivy by Fern Michaels The Christmas Room by Catherine Anderson I was so intrigued by the cover on this one that I had to pick it up. For Review (from NetGalley): I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon   ...
