Life and Blog Update

Hey y'all! It's been a long time since I've posted or done much with this blog. Things have been a challenge here lately and I've fallen way behind. I'm almost 34 weeks pregnant and this pregnancy has been so hard on me, both physically and mentally. Pregnancy combined with work and home as been almost more than I can handle right now.

So now that I've had the pity party, I'm writing because I'm going to take a break from the blog for a while. I don't know if it will just be until after the baby comes or for good but I need to completely take it off my plate for a while. I'm not going to be accepting any review requests for the forseeable future and I'm going to have to drag myself away from NetGalley. : )

This has been a really tough decision but I have really dropped the ball on things. I have accepted books for review and then never got around to reviewing them and I have a serious backlog of books from NetGalley to read. I'm extremely embarrassed about these mistakes and I can't keep doing that to myself and the people who provide me the books. I'm also reading at a super slow pace and I just can't keep up even though I would like to.

I do have a couple reviews coming up in the next month or so but otherwise, I'll be on hiatus. Thank you all for sticking with me through all of this.

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?
