April Wrap Up

I had a great reading month in April!  I had no idea I would get so much reading in but I know that it definitely helped to participate in Dewey's Readathon.  I read a total of 14 books in April which puts me at 45 books for the year. My goal is to read 75 books this year and I think I am well on my way to that goal!  I am going to try to read as much as I can in the next 8 weeks because once the baby gets here, I am not sure how much reading I will be able to get done. I also am pretty proud that 6 of the books I read this month were ones I already owned.  I need to keep that up because I still have a ton of unread books on my shelf.

Here is what I read in April:

1.) Tully by Paullina Simons
2.) Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen
3.) The Fifth Knight by E.M. Powell
4.) The Mirrored World by Debra Dean
5.) Starvation Heights by Gregg Olsen 
6.) The Inquisitor's Wife by Jeanne Kalogridis
7.) 11/22/63 by Stephen King
8.) The Light in the Ruins by Chris Bohjalian
9.) The Witch of Cologne by Tobsha Learner
10.) The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
11.) Surrender to Sultry by Macy Beckett
12.) Spell of the Highlander by Karen Marie Moning
13.) The Happiest Baby on the Block by Harvey Karp
14.) Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
How many books did you read in April?  Are you on track to meet your reading goals?

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?
