January Wrap Up

I am so glad January is over!!  Work was awful this month and I am hoping that February will be better all around.  Book wise, January was a great month!  I read 9 books this month which is a lot compared to the past couple months.  I am hoping to read 75 books this year so I am making really good progress.  Of the 9 books I read, 3 of them were books I own so I think I am doing pretty good there considering 5 of the books I read were review books.  I still have several review books to get through but I think I will be able to make more progress on the books on my shelf.

Here is what I read this month:
 1.) The House of Velvet and Glass by Katherine Howe
2.) The Forgotten Queen by D.L. Bogdan
3.) A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
4.) Shadow on the Crown by Patricia Branwell
5.) The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin
6.) A Shot of Sultry by Macy Beckett
7.) The German Woman by Paul Griner
8.) The Cross and the Dragon by Kim Rendfeld 
9.) Blood Sisters:  The Women Who Won the War of the Roses by Sarah Gristwood

How was your January?  What books did you read?

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?
