Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me

1.) Pioneer Woman Cooks:  Food from My Frontier by Ree Drummond-I love the Pioneer Woman's show and everything she cooks looks so yummy!
2.) Any of Trisha Yearwood's cookbooks-Her cooking show is one of my new favorites.  I sit in my pajamas and drool while watching her show on Saturday mornings.
3.) Hunger Games in Russian- I need to practice my Russian skills and this would be a great way to do it.
4.) The Unfailing Light by Robin Bridges- I really liked the the first book in this series and can't wait to see what happens next.
5.) One Breath Away by Heather Gudenkauf-Gudenkauf's books are so good; I definitely want to check this one out.
6.) The Distant Hours by Kate Morton- I love Kate Morton!  I want to read everything she has written!
7.) A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin-I still haven't read Clash of Kings but I know I am going to want to pick this one up right after I do.
8.) Winter of the World by Ken Follett-I am interested to see how this book turns out.  I thought the first one was okay but I have heard that this one is excellent.

That's all I've got!  I am kind of in a reading rut so this was a lot harder than I thought!  What books are on your winter wish list?

    Wow - Hunger Games in Russian?! Impressive! I sometimes think about getting books I know well in German or French to practice those languages - but so far, I'm only thinking about it.

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...

Review and Giveaway: "This Son of York" by Anne Easter Smith

Synopsis: Now is the winter of our discontent, Made glorious summer by This Son of York…” — William Shakespeare, Richard III Richard III was Anne’s muse for her first five books, but, finally, in This Son of York he becomes her protagonist. The story of this English king is one of history’s most compelling, made even more fascinating through the discovery in 2012 of his bones buried under a car park in Leicester. This new portrait of England’s most controversial king is meticulously researched and brings to vivid life the troubled, complex Richard of Gloucester, who ruled for two years over an England tired of war and civil strife. The loyal and dutiful youngest son of York, Richard lived most of his short life in the shadow of his brother, Edward IV, loyally supporting his sibling until the mantle of power was thrust unexpectedly on him. Some of his actions and motives were misunderstood by his enemies to have been a deliberate usurpation of the throne, but thr...
