October Wrap Up

November is here!!  I feel like this year has just flown by!  I actually had a pretty good reading month which is surprising.  I had a hard time really getting into books this month so I am happy to say that I read 8 books this month (plus 300 pages in Les Mis) and am now at a grand total of 100 books for the year!  I had to look and see where I was at this time last year and WOW, what a difference!  Last year I read 18 books in October and was at a total of 163 for the year.  Don't ask me how I managed that because I have no idea where I found the time to read that much.

I still have 2 challenge books left to read as well as the second half of Les Miserables.  I will definitely finish Les Mis this year!  But I honestly am not sure if I am going to get those other two challenge books read.  They are both difficult books and I have been having a hard time staying focused on a book if I would rather be reading something else.  We'll see what happens. 

Here is what I read this month:

1.) Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
2.) Kiss of the Highlander by Karen Marie Moning
3.) The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
4.) Sultry with a Twist by Macy Beckett
5.) The Lady's Slipper by Deborah Swift
6.) The Dark Highlander by Karen Marie Moning
7.) Mistress of Rome by Kate Quinn
8.) The Lincoln Conspiracy by Timothy L. O'Brien
Part 2 of Les Miserables

What books did you read in October?  How are you doing with your reading goals?

    Happy reading in November! :)

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

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?
