2012 Support Your Local Library Challenge

I have decided to participate in the 'Support Your Local Libary Challenge' hosted by The Eclectic Bookshelf. I love the library in my town! The collection is amazing and it's very rare that they don't have or can't get a book I want. My budget doesn't allow to buy every book I read nor do I want to own every single book I have read so I am huge library user.

The Rules are:
-Anyone can join.

-You don't need a blog to participate. If you are a Non-blogger please leave a comment with a link (if you review elsewhere) to your review or with the book(s) you read.

-Audio, ebooks (some libraries allow ebooks to be checked out), bound books are ok.

-No re-reads

-Create a sign up post and post the link in the linky below.

-Challenge goes from January 1, 2012 - December 31, 2012

Levels:

Level 1 - Read 12 library books

Level 2 - Read 24 library books

Level 3 - Read 36 library books

Level 4 - Read 37+ library books

I think I am going to do Level 2-Read 24 library books. I am pretty sure I have read way more library books than that this year but I am trying to set my goals a little lower for 2012. I am also really trying to read some of the many books I already own and are collecting dust on my shelf. This will probably be the last challenge I sign up for unless I see another one that I simply can't stay away from.

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?
