Happy Friday!!! (3)

Oh my goodness, I thought Friday would never get here!!  It has been such a long week!

Now it's time for Friday memes! YAY!

The Book Blog Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books.

This week's question is:  “As a book blogger, how do you introduce yourself in your profile?”

I have to say my introduction is pretty lame.  I am still a little unsure of how much information I should put out on the web about myself and thus kept my 'about me' pretty short, sweet, and to the point.  Maybe I will have to remedy that....what do you all think???

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read.

This week's question is:  It's that pesky magic book fairy again! She has another wish: What imaginary book world would you like to make a reality?

I am not sure I can answer this.  Most of my favorite books are set in places/times that I don't think I would want to live (i.e. The Hunger Games, The Bronze Horseman, etc).  I guess I will give an easy answer and say that I would love to have Harry Potter's world because it would AWESOME and it seems the least unpleasant (unless Voldemort is around and then yikes!).

Hope you all have an amazing and relaxing weekend!

    This week’s Book Blogger Hop really threw me a curveball.

    That’s because I don’t call myself a book blogger. I never even considered myself a book blogger. Sure I blog about books and book-related topics week after week. But for some reason I never saw the label of “book blogger” applying to me.

    If you’re wondering why then please hop on over to my blog and find out – http://www.howardsherman.net

    It's entirely up to you and your situation. Only share as much as you feel like.

    I recently changed my profile to reflect the fact i'm almost done with library school. Please come and read my new introduction.

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

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. 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. For Review (from NetGalley): I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon     I really need to st
