2.) The Perfect Match
3.) Waiting on You
4.) In Your Dreams

My Thoughts:  I don't usually read a lot of chick lit/romance type books but over the summer, I just really wanted to do some nice fluffy reading.  I kept hearing out awesome this series was so I decided to check it out.  OMG.  This series is the absolute best!  The characters are wonderful and the stories are each fun and romantic in their own right.  

The stories focus on the Holland family, their unmarried members and unmarried friends.  I love that all the characters are so normal; the woman aren't Barbie dolls and they all have their own unique set of problems and idiosyncracies.  Because they are so normal, they are incredibly relatable.  There are also a ton of funny one liners and some of the characters are just plain hilarious (Prudence is the best!).

All of the books are a little predictable/formulaic and all have a happy ending but I think that was what made them so enjoyable.  The Perfect Match is probably my favorite; I loved Honor and Tom's story so much and I think Honor is my favorite character of the whole series.  

The fifth book comes out in December and I can't wait!  If you are looking for a great romance series, be sure to check out this one! 

All books rated 4 stars.

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
