March Wrap Up

Why is time going by so fast?!  I can't believe March is over.  Before I know it, June will be here and Julia will be turning 1!  Everything needs to slow down a little.

March was a really good reading month for me.  I read 8 (!) books which is a lot for me these days.  I have now read 19 books total for the year so I am well on my way to making my goal of 50 books for the year.  I may end up raising my goal but I am going to wait a while before I do that.  I don't want to overwhelm myself.

I only read one book this month that I own, the rest were library books and review books.  I happened to glance at my bookshelves recently and was reminded that there are quite a few books I own that I want to read.  So I think I am going to start alternating between library books, review books and books I own (either in print or electronic version).  Otherwise, I will just keep reading everything but the books I own (I don't know why I do this!).


Here is what I read this month:

1.) Queen Elizabeth's Daughter by Anne Clinard Barnhill
2.) The Collector of Dying Breaths by MJ Rose (review will post 4/18)
3.) The Morning Star by Robin Bridges
4.) The Secret Daughter of the Tsar by Jennifer Laam
5.) The Queen's Rivals by Brandy Purdy
6.) Serpents in the Garden by Anna Belfrage (review will post 4/3)
7.) Alienated by Melissa Landers
8.) The Midwife's Confession Diane Chamberlain

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?
