Mailbox Monday (69)

I got way too many books this week so I am linking up with Mailbox Monday again!  I haven't had much time to read lately but I'm hoping to change that this month.  I think I have more books than I know what to do with but it doesn't hurt to have options!

My daughter was sick all last week so I've been mostly cooped up with her and I'm actually glad to be back at work today!  She was pretty sick so except for trips to the doctor and Walgreens, we were pretty much home bound.  I'm glad that she's finally feeling better, it got a little scary there for a bit.  

March will be busy at work but it will be fun too so I'm ready for the challenge.  Here's to a good week and month!

    It's scary when little ones get so sick. Glad she's feeling better! I enjoyed A Bridge Across the Ocean.

      I've heard good things about Homegoing and just happened to see it on display at the library. Looking forward to reading it.

    I'm glad your daughter is better. My whole family was sick in January. I've had my eye on
    The Bridge Across the Ocean. Hope you enjoy all your new books!

    ENJOY your books.

    I enjoyed A BRIDGE ACROSS THE OCEAN - great historical fiction and women's fiction.

    That is scary when your child is sick for that long. Glad she is doing better.

    ENJOY your week.

    I'm glad your daughter is getting better. We have had terrible bouts of 'flu B' and strep throat running through the children (and adults) in our community. It can be scary when the younger ones have fever spikes.

    You have lots of good looking/sounding books. Ebony & Ivy sounds like interesting history although it has received mixed reviews. A Bridge Across has been getting good feedback. Sorry I missed those two freebies. The Last Paradise sounds like a good, maybe dark, historical thriller.
    I'm glad you linked up at MM.
    Happy Reading!

      Strep and flu, that sounds awful! I'm glad we didn't run into those. Thanks for stopping by!

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

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 this week?

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.
