November Wrap Up

I'm so not ready for December to be here!  Work is extremely busy in December and that combined with all the holiday festivities, shopping, etc., makes for a really crazy month!  Because things are so busy, this is going to be a quick and dirty post.

November was a great reading month for me; I read 11 books!  I am now at 95 books read for the year and my goal is 100 so I'm only 5 books away.  I don't know how much time I will have for reading this month so I'm glad that I only have to read 5. 

Here are my November numbers:
-11 books read
   -2 non-fiction
   -7 historical fiction
   -3 review books
   -3 library books
   -0 books I own
   -6 ebooks

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

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
