Happy Friday!!! (18)

It's Friday!  This week has been rough; going back to work after 10 days off was brutal!

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

Question of the Week: Go count the number of unread books sitting on your shelf. How many?

I counted last week and I have 81 unread books on my shelves.  GAH.  I keep going to the library to get more books when I own enough books to keep me busy for the whole year!  I am so hoping I can get my act together and get a good chunk of these read this year. 

How many unread books are currently on your shelves?

  1. This is too embarrassing to admit. The books overflow the shelves and are stacked on the floors. Neat stacks. Mostly. Don't make me count the unread ones. I, too go to the library, book store and peruse Amazon for more. I wonder if I could be a guest on Hoarders for my book hogginess. If I start counting now, I will never return...Have a bookish weekend. ;)

  6. I haven't checked out books from the library in a long time because I've become addicted to my Nook. I think my library does eBooks now though so I might have to look into that.

  7. Really? You're going to make me count? I could read another novel in the time it would take me to count my owned TBR shelf.

    I think I'll go down load a book.

    Happy reading!

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?
