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.

  3. My husband has read the whole Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silva that has been written so far. He loves these books and said to me today that he thinks they get better and better!

  6. Hi Denise,

    Wow! you have amassed quite a haul this week and a very eclectic mix of storylines and genres.

    I haven't actually read any Daniel Silva, although I do have a couple of his paperbacks on my shelves, which my father has read and recommended. As 'The Messenger' is book number 6 in the Gabriel Allon series and you are obviously an avid follower, I am wondering if the stories can be read as stand alones, or do I really need to start the series back at the beginning?

    My favourite from your selection today, would have to be 'The Color Of Secrets', which sounds Oh! so good. The title and cover art are also very alluring.

    Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week :)

    1. Hi Yvonne!

      I would definitely say that they could be read as stand alones. I actually found the series when I read the 9th book not realizing that it was part of a larger series and I didn't have any trouble understanding what was happening. I read books 9 and 10 and then I decided to go back and start from the beginning.

      Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

  9. Oh my! They are all good books! I don't know how you will choose to read first! I need to come here all the time. This is my first week on the meme! Let me know which one you read first. I would personally go for Stalin since that is more in my genre but I love all the books you got!

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?
