May 2016 Wrap Up

Hey y'all!  May is over and summer is here!  I'm so excited to be done with my class (I got an A) and I'm ready for summer reading, the pool and binge watching NetFlix!

May was my best reading month for the year! I have read 26 books so far and my goal is 52 so I am half way there.  At this time last year, I had read quite a few more books but I'm pretty happy that I stayed on track considering how crazy the past few months have been.  I did set two reading goals for May (read a non-fiction and a book I own) and I managed to accomplish both of them.  I think for June I am going to shoot for two non-fiction and two books I own so we'll see how that goes!  I also am going to try to post something on the blog at least once a week.  I really miss the blog but need to get the motivation to work on it. I didn't do so hot with the rest of my May goals but oh well! I just started Couch to 5K again this week so I am excited to work on that over the summer as well.

Here are my stats for the month of May:

-8 books read
   -2 non-fiction
   -3 historical fiction
   -2 review books
   -4 library books
   -1 books I own
   -4 ebooks

What I read in May:

1.) The Beast by J.R. Ward - 4 stars
2.) Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll - 3 stars
3.) The Midnight Watch by David Dyer
4.) The Tsarina's Legacy by Jennifer Laam - 3 stars
5.) Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher Browning - 3 stars
6.) Toddlers are A**holes, It's Not Your Fault by Bunmi Laditan - 4 stars
7.) Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates - 4 stars
8.) The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye - 3 stars

Happy Summer!

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?
