November Wrap Up

Oh my goodness.  I can't believe it's December already!  I am starting to get a little burned out on reading but am pretty determined to hit my goal of 200 for the year.  Next year, I don't I will set my sights so high.  I read 20 books in November which is awesome and am at 183 books total for the year.  Luckily I am off work from Dec. 22-Jan. 2 so if necessary, I can spend some extra time reading.  I also met my 2011 New Year's Resolution in November so I am super happy about that.  I had some major crises happen while I was in grad school and had to charge a lot of stuff to a credit card.  I have been trying for 3 years (!) to get it paid off and every time I have been close, another crisis would occur.  But as of last week, I am out of credit card debt and am so happy about it!  Anyway, here is what I read in November:

1.) Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser
2.) The Shunning by Beverly Lewis
3.) In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
4.) Visions of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich
5.) Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
6.) Maybe Baby by Lori Leibovich
7.) Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich
8.) A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
9.) The Confession by Beverly Lewis
10.) Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward
11.) Mary Boleyn:  The Mistress of Kings by Alison Weir
12.) Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich
13.) Finding Chandra by Scott Higham
14.) The Reckoning by Beverly Lewis
15.) The Betrayal by Helen Dunmore
16.) The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges
17.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
18.) Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich
19.) In A Treacherous Court by Michelle Diener
20.) The Wedding Gift by Kathleen McKenna

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
