Mailbox Monday (73)

 Hello!  I think this may be one of my last Mailbox Monday posts for a while as I transition to just reading books I own and catching up on reviews.  I got some great books this week so I just had to share.

This week was a whirlwind!  I work at a university and it was the first week of enrollment so we were incredibly busy.  I'm also planning some big family celebrations in the next few months so it feels like there is always something that needs to be done.  I only finished one book this week (Forever A Hero by Linda Lael Miller) and barely made progress on anything else.  I'm hoping that next week will be a tiny bit less busy but we'll see!  




Goodreads Giveaway:

 I hardly ever enter giveaways on goodreads anymore because I haven't won in years. I was so excited to win this book because it sounds so good.

For Review (from HFBVT):
 
I've read all of Ms. Belfrage's books and they are AMAZING.  I can't wait to read this one!

For Review (From NetGalley):
 
This is the third book in the Daughters of La Lune series.  I really loved the last book so I'm eager to see where the story will go.

What books were in your mailbox this week?

    1. I think I might try a 'what are you reading' post for a while. I have so many things to read and I really think I need to stop acquiring books for a while. Have a great week!

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?
