February Wrap Up

I don't know whether to be glad February is over or scared that it is March.  February was not a good month but March is going to be insane.  The blog has been kind of slow lately and it may continue to be that way for a while until life calms down a bit.

I had a good reading month.  I read 7 books in February so now I am at 13 for the year.  Goodreads says I am on track to hit my goal of 80.

Here are my February numbers:

-7 books read
   -0 non-fiction
   -3 historical fiction (I am now at 6/25 for the Historical Fiction Challenge)
   -2 review
   -3 library books
   -2 books I own (both were ebooks)

I'm actually pretty happy with these numbers.  I hope to read at least 2 books I own in March as I'm a little behind on my goal of reading 20.  I started a non-fiction book last week but with everything going on, I just couldn't focus on it.  Right now, I really need books that are light and easy to read.

On the blog in February:

-11 posts
     -3 reviews
     -1 wrap up post
     -2 Mailbox Monday posts
     -2 spotlight/book blast posts
     -2 FitReaders posts
     -1 Bookish thoughts post

I really need to start writing more reviews.  I need to come up with a way to make time to just write up even a quick or mini review for the books I read.  Hopefully, I can have a little more content on the blog in March.

How did February go for you?  Are you meeting you 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?
