Mailbox Monday (45)


Hello! It's a been a long time since I have done a Mailbox Monday post!  I've been trying to get one up for a while so this post is going to include books I have picked up over the last few weeks.

Amazon has had some really interesting kindle books on sale so I've splurged a little recently and am going to have to cut back a bit soon....maybe.

Purchased (ebooks):




 The Amber Keeper by Freda Lightfoot - I can't resist any book that is historical fiction set in Russia!
A Dark Lure by Loreth Anne White -This was a kindle first read book.  I've been really craving thrillers lately so I had to check this one out.
Raising Your Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka - My child is the definition of 'spirited'.  I've heard this is an excellent book and I'm excited to see if it helps me parent my child better
American Ghost by Hannah NordhausThis is a ghost story and historical narrative wrapped into one.  I can't wait to read it.

For review (ebook): 


The Grip of God by Rebecca Hazell - I don't think I've ever seen a work of historical fiction that dealt with the Mongols and their conquering of Kievan Rus so I had to pick this one up.

From the Library:


America and the Pill by Elaine Tyler May - I know someone who read this recently and they said it was really good.  It sounds intriguing.
Prince of Fire by Daniel Silva - I love the Gabriel Allon books. I'm totally hooked on this series!

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?
