Waiting On Wednesday #117 – Verhängnisvolle Nähe by Sandra Brown

is a weekly event that was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This meme is a place that spotlights upcoming releases that we´re eagerly anticipating with pure joy.

There are a lot of new books coming out each year and some of them catch my attention and will get a spotlight in my Waiting on Wednesday post. While some of them will finally end up here at my place, others won´t. I am joining Tressa at Wishful Endings and her meme Can´t-Wait Wednesday.

I have Seeing Red, the US edition already at home. But nonetheless, I am waiting for the German edition to be published. Very often, the cover couldn´t be more different as they are here. Sometimes I like the US one more, sometimes the German cover. But I always love her stories. Well, her thriller stories. The romance ones not so much. That book is again living proof, that I have my troubles to listen to an audiobook. Because since months I am trying to listen to this one. But I know, the moment I can put my hands on the print edition, I am through within no time. Crazy, huh?

Kerra Bailey is a TV journalist hot on the trail of a story guaranteed to skyrocket her career to new heights. Twenty-five years ago, Major Franklin Trapper became a national icon when he was photographed leading a handful of survivors to safety after the bombing of a Dallas hotel. For years, he gave frequent speeches and interviews, but then suddenly dropped out of the public eye, shunning all media. Now Kerra is willing to use any means necessary to get an exclusive with The Major – even if she has to secure an introduction from his estranged son, former ATF agent John Trapper. Still seething over his break with both the ATF and his father, Trapper wants no association with the bombing or The Major. Yet Kerra´s hints that there´s more to the story rouse Trapper´s interest despite himself. And when the interview goes catastrophically awry -with unknown assailants targeting not only The Major, but also Kerra – Trapper realizes he needs her under wraps if he´s going to track down the gunman … and finally discover who is responsible for the Dallas bombing. Kerra is wary of a man so charming one moment and dangerous the next, and she knows Trapper is withholding evidence from his ATF investigation into the bombing. But having no one else to trust and enemies lurking closer than they know, Kerra and Trapper join forces and risk their lives to expose a sinuous network of lies and conspiracy- and uncover who would want a national hero dead.

Top Ten Tuesday – Changes In My Reading Life

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week the theme is Changes In My Reading Life.

I am reading since I´ve learned it in school. And for many, many years it was no problem for me, to read several books within a week or a month and still know what the story was. While studying at the HAF I learned to make little notes on a notepad while reading a book and that has itself proven to be very helpful when I sit down to write my reviews.

While reading I don´t notice that I am taking notes. It happens mostly subliminal. Despite other fast-paced readers who like to cross-check some pages in a novel while reading the book, I am one who reads the entire book. That counts especially for books I receive for free from a publisher. Sure, some books I´ve read over the years didn´t stick in my memory, but that was never a problem. Or better said, it never was a problem for me. How others handle that I can´t tell.

Well, it seems that for whatever reason my reading has changed during the past eleven months. Not only have I noticed that I don´t read that fast anymore but I also noticed that I am not reading for hours anymore. Right now, I can´t even tell you if I get too easily distracted because the book isn´t able to grip my attention or if another reason is causing it. Somehow, I need to step away from a book after reading some chapters to do something else.

Am I slowing down bookish things that way? For sure. Am I reading less than I used to read? Certainly. Do I have an answer to why that is? Not at all.

The only thing I can say for sure is, that this year I probably won´t make my set goal for the New Release Challenge for the first time since I am participating in that challenge. Does it give me a bad feeling? Rather a mixed one. I don´t like to fail when I am doing something. But in this case, I don´t see it as failure concerning the circumstances. Reading and blogging are meant to be fun. And I am still having fun while reading. No matter how fast or slow I am reading now, I still enjoy the genres I used to read in the past and today. And I don´t see any reason why that should change in the future. Reading is calming me down, always has and always will. It is as simple as that. But it is interesting to notice that change and to realize that something is responsible for it, but I can´t quite put a finger on it. As long as I am able to read a book, I am happy.

So, yes there were some changes in my reading life. But none, I am too worried about. And for sure none I feel angry about. I still love reading books and am passionate about them and blogging. To discuss a novel with others who´ve read it too, is always very interesting, though we might not share the same opinion about it. On the other hand, if we did, it would be boring, wouldn´t it?

And how has your reading life changed? Has it changed at all?

Local Hero by Nora Roberts

Many years ago, I found this book and was thrilled after I´ve had only read the summary. You can never be wrong by reading a Nora Roberts novel. Especially not, when it is a romance novel. The author knows, like no one else, how to get into her reader´s hearts, how to let them feel emotions and be sensitive and entertaining at the same time. This one is no exception.

Local Hero*

✶✶✶✶½

After moving into a new Manhattan apartment and struggling to raise her son on her own, Hester Wallace doesn’t have time for the holidays, let alone a romance. So when her neighbor Mitch Dempsey offers to watch her son, Radley, in the afternoons, she cautiously accepts. Yet the more time she spends with Mitch, the more difficult it becomes to deny the attraction. She’s starting to rely on Mitch…and worse, she’s letting him into her heart.

Story

Hester and her little son Radley move to a new apartment near Central Park, as Hester has taken a new job at a bank. She hopes to be able to fulfill her son one or two extra wishes with her salary earned there. A new man or even a new love does not fit into the concept. That´s what her neighbor Mitch, a cartoonist, sees a little bit different. He offers Hester to take care of Radley in the afternoons, giving her and her son more relaxed free time and less stress. Hester is not thrilled at first. But it is precisely her resistance that particularly appeals to Mitch, and so begins a very special kind of seduction…

Style

This novel is written harmoniously and wonderfully soft. Subtle humor, great dialogues, and a wonderful action with lots of charm and wit make this story an entertaining and relaxed reading pleasure. The tone is entertaining, even if now and then something more serious topics are addressed. It´s just fun to watch Mitch putting things in motion to win his love and get them where he wants them to be. In front of the wedding altar. On the way there, the reader experiences many strange situations that have reminded me in many ways of everyday life here.

Characters

With her main characters, Nora Roberts has created figures here that convince and, despite the ease of the action, show surprising depth. Especially the little Radley brings a lot of speed and joy in the action with his warm and open nature. And many a mother´s hearts will melt away during his performances. He is real sunshine, even though he had to experience a rather violent experience with the departure of his father as a small child. He makes Mitch very clear and straightforward that he does not want a stepfather for exactly this reason. I found this dialogue between the two men in Hester´s life so sympathetic and heartfelt. It was just nice to read that.

Conclusion

Wonderfully relaxing and entertaining. A beautiful and warm romance with a pinch of humor and wonderful characters. Highly recommended.

Weekly Book Wrap-Up #91 – New Books Have Arrived

With the Weekly Book Wrap-Up, I give you a bit of an insight into all the new books that have arrived at my place. No matter if I won a giveaway, got approved for a reviewer´s copy, an ARC or just bought one myself. Everything that I add to my shelves, in what way ever and read during the past week or am still reading, I will write about it. And maybe I tell you a bit about the upcoming things on Inkvotary, that is if I don´t forget it and have something to share with you *smile*

I am linking up with Tynga´s Reviews and Caffeinated Reviewer and hope you´ll have fun reading it and maybe get the one or the other book inspiration.

Stacking The Shelves #91

I received some new books from a publisher *Yay*

Sunday Post #48

The past week was a pretty uneventful one. I am still dealing with the change from summertime to normal time. Don´t know why it is giving me such a hard time this year, but it seems that I am in a huge crisis with myself lately. No good feeling, I can assure you. We went literally overnight from some sort of a golden Fall to a grey winterly wet weather and it is hard to adjust to that. It drives me nuts, but I am only half as productive as I´ve used to be. Don´t ask me how my household looks. For me, as a person who usually wants everything to be nice and clean, an awful situation. No, I don´t need to have my pens laying on my desk in a certain ankle and with an inch in between them, but some sort of order would be nice and right now I see none of it. As if all the energy I used to have got sucked out of me in an instant. The fun thing is that as soon as I am outside for a long walk or running some errands like grocery shopping, I feel fine and energetic. And that holds for the rest of the day. Guess, the cold, brisk air is doing me some good.

And another good thing is waiting for me today. I´ve recorded earlier Front Row with Mary Beard. This time she met Margaret Atwood and I am looking forward to watching it. Not exactly sure why that is, but listening to Margaret Atwood talking about life, her books, and other things, in general, is quite fascinating. And Mary Beard has a great way to talk with her interview partners about everything. Good, I don´t have The Handmaid´s Tale or The Testament at home, yet. But that is an easy thing to change, isn´t it?

I tried to read as much as possible for the HoHoHo Readathon but managed only to get one book done. Well one more off my TBR list, so I take that as a good sign.

Not sure, if I have already spoken about it but yesterday I realized, that I have not only accomplished my goal of reading 12 books borrowed from the library – which makes me a Dewey Decimal -, but also are with six more on the best way to reach the next level which is called Thrifty Reader. Wish me luck, guys *smile*

How was your week?

Bad Romeo Christmas by Leisa Rayven

I´ve read this book as part of the HoHoHo Readathon Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer is hosting again. A great opportunity to get another book off of my TBR. And to have some Christmas fun before the actual Christmas is here. And to read something new about Cassie and Ethan was fantastic. I never laughed so many tears while reading some kitchen scenes with them. How Ethan tried to keep Cassie away from the kitchen – gorgeous!

✶✶✶✶

Have Yourself A Sexy Little Christmas: An Ethan and Cassie Novella. Ethan and Cassie´s first Christmas with the Holt family should be nothing but jolly. Sure, Cassie´s a mess trying to impress her future in-laws with the perfect casserole, but when an unexpected blast from Ethan´s past shows up beneath the tree, the season gets a whole lot more serious – and sexy.
The Naughty List: A Liam and Elissa Novella. After being apart for months, Liam and Elissa are making up for lost time on a secluded island, where they think they´re free to explore each other´s bodies in peace. But when it turns out their Christmas sanctuary isn´t as deserted as it first seemed, their Christmas dreams turn into a nightmare.
Happy, Horny New Year: A Josh and Angel Novella. When the gang from the Grove gets together at a lavish New Year´s Eve party, it´s like no time has passed. Except Elissa and Josh are dating Hollywood royalty, Jack and Zoe have been hooking up in secret, Connor´s new girlfriend wants to murder Cassie, and Erika´s mystery man has everyone talking. Before midnight, shocking revelations are made, industry tongues are wagging, and the poor mistletoe is ready to pass out from overuse.

Story

Being together with Ethan´s family for Christmas puts some pressure on Cassie. She has some great abilities but cooking isn´t one of them. So when the big evening arrives, Ethan is either to tell his family or to keep his mouth shut and see how things go. Elissa knows exactly what she wants. But when it comes to some delicate lingerie, she is helpless as one can be. The only person that could help her, her brother Ethan, isn´t interested at all in going shopping with her at La Perla. Meanwhile, Josh has some problems of his own. He isn´t looking or feeling as attractive as Angel´s co-star and together with his jealousy that is no good combination. And when a sexy Uhura is showing up at the New Year´s Eve party, he feels guilty and attracted at the same time.

Style

It was one hilarious fun reading, that I can assure you. Good, I wouldn´t have needed the third part where Josh and Angel were the main figures but okay, you can´t have everything, can you? And as long, as I´ve got the sexy, hot, steamy, fun, and passionate story Leisa Rayven knows perfectly well to create, I am happy and satisfied.

While reading through some pages, I was laughing tears, during others I was shaking my head in disbelief and while reading through the last third I was wondering if that was a Christmas story at all.

Characters

It was wonderful to see Cassie again and her cooking ability. I wish I could have seen Ethan´s face when he was trying what she served him. Hilarious. And Elissa with all the lingerie? I would have thrown all of it into that employee´s face if she would have treated me the way she treated Elissa. That was a no-go!

I am glad, that the author hasn´t changed her characters for this Anthology. That she kept them the way they have been in the other books. In all their glory and with all their problems and mistakes. You can see that they´ve learned from the past and that around Christmas nothing is really perfect.

Conclusion

If you are in for a winterly Christmas story with lots of snow, ice and decorating a huge Christmas tree while nipping on your eggnog, you are wrong. This Christmas Anthology is all about passion, jealousy, missing someone dear and how to better not cook a Christmas meal. I enjoyed every minute reading it though I would have wished that the story about Cassie and Ethan would have been longer. And that I finally got an answer to Erika´s big secret was a plus. If you´re in for some holiday fun and hot scenes, this is definitely your book.

Happy reading

Das Geheimnis Von Hester Hill by Kristina Ohlsson

I know Kristina Ohlsson mainly from her thrillers. But when I heard that she has written some books for children too, I was eager to find out how they would be. Well, this one was a pleasant surprise. Filled with action, tension, a dark story, and wonderfully created figures. What could a reader want more?

✶✶✶✶

A Swedish summer full of secrets. Meg and her brother Frank spend the summer on Hester Hill – an old, mysterious mansion. As soon as they get there, the strangest things happen. Who hears Meg crying in the locked rooms at night? And what about the stories about a big misfortune? Soon, the children are on the trail of a dark secret, which leads them not only to the most hidden rooms and secret tunnels of the old house but also to the past … (personal translation by ©Vi at Inkvotary).

Story

Meg is convinced, that something strange is going on at Hester Hill. She can hear a baby crying and other weird noises. And when her uncle tells her the story about Hester Hill, she knows for sure that she and her brother can solve the mystery. An old key seems to be part of the secret that lays in the past. Together with her brother, she is about to discover a dark secret that brings an old intrigue to the light.

Style

This novel is written in a wonderfully entertaining way. While reading some pages I had the impression, that the writing style is a bit old fashioned, but it fits perfectly into the story. The plot is very secretive and there isn’t one boring page. In fact, the novel is very diversified. It was a wonderful surprise to discover that the author knows very well how to entertain kids without becoming kitschy or boring.

Characters

Meg is a child with a huge fantasy. Everywhere she goes, she starts to create a story about the “what ifs” and “how could it be”. Her imagination knows no bounds and she is using her gift very often to come up with a story about what she saw. Not always to the delight of her brother or parents. And when her parents send her and her brother away to her uncle, Meg knows the moment she arrives, that her fantasy is not only a fantasy. Some things are real, and she is determined to prove that she is right.

Conclusion

What a wonderful read. I enjoyed every minute. The plot is built in a great way, the tension rises from page to page and the solution at the end is only logical and the perfect way to end this novel. For kids age nine and above a fantastic book. Highly recommended.

Top Ten Tuesday - Favorite Bookmarks

The moment I saw this topic on the TTT list for November, I knew that I wanted to do it. I have so many bookmarks but actually, use only one sort of them while reading. Don´t know why that is but most of my bookmarks are from our local bookstore (you can grab them for free while you pay the books you´ve bought 😄). The others are from around the world and I treasure them dearly.

The Sisi bookmark I bought during an Habsburg-exhibition in Stuttgart. Together with a poster that shows the entire famous portrait of her. The Talon bookmark came together with the requested hardcover edition. I don´t know anymore from where I´ve got the Harry Potter bookmark but it is one of those I don´t use. The Crystal Blade bookmark was among the swag I´ve got from Kathryn Purdie after I had bought her novel. The little puppy bookmark is, I guess, one I bought in the US. Not sure about that though. The Frozen Reign bookmark beside it is another one I´ve received among some other swag from the author after buying her novel. The seal bookmark is from the US and the Children Of Blood And Bone bookmark was part of a promotion the German publisher had arranged shortly before the book was published. Yup, the next one is a Chocolate bar bookmark and the last bookmark is from my local bookstore. Sometimes they promote books from a certain country and then you can find all kinds of motives from there on one side of the bookmark.

Favorite Bookmarks-Presented In No Particular Order

Sisi, the Austrian Empress / Talon

Harry Potter / Crystal Blade

Puppy / Frozen Reign

Seal / Children Of Blood And Bone

Chocolate bar / Africa

And how do your favorite bookmarks look like?

Weekly Book Wrap-Up #90 – Fall Of Berlin Wall

I am linking up with Tynga´s Reviews and Caffeinated Reviewer and hope you´ll have fun reading it and maybe get the one or the other book inspiration.

Stacking The Shelves #90

Again. No new books here.

Sunda Post #47

Because of Germany´s most important historic events, I am becoming a bit political now. Don´t worry, I am not bothering you with too many historical facts or political ones. It´s only, that today Germany is celebrating one of its most important days. The fall of the wall.

Thirty years ago, today, on 9th November 1989, the wall fell. I remember that I was watching the news at home when the anchor said that the wall was open and people were free to travel from East Berlin to West Berlin.

Today, in 2019, and back then, the past seven days had been very emotional. So many things happened within a few days. And when finally on 11/9/1989 the wall fell, families were reunited and an entire country could start to heal and grow back together after over 28 years where a goddamn wall had divided everything. That wall has caused so much pain, anger, rage and death. Don´t get me wrong, not everything that had the name DDR on or happened there was bad. There are many things people who´ve grown up in the DDR remember well, things they are sad don´t exist anymore. When I go today to the grocery store and walk through the line where all the sweet stuff is, I can pick pralines called “Halloren” – made in the East part of Germany. They taste delicious.

The words pain, anger, rage, and death are true anyway. The wall is responsible for the death of many people. Causing a lot of pain among their families. And rage and anger, that it happened. They were killed while trying to cross the border area to get into the West. The correct number is not known, but the fact that they died because of the wall, is sad enough. The towers are still there, not everywhere, but some of them are still standing – as a reminder.

I don´t know when or where it exactly had started back then. But I do know that on 4th November 1989 thousands of people were marching peacefully through the street, holding up signs, demanding freedom and the right to speak openly.

The days after the 4th of November 1989 are a time history books tell you about it. The emotions flying high, and with the strong signs that showed that an entire folk, the folk of the DDR, wanted a change. Till today I am not quite sure what the exact trigger had been, but with the news, that more and more people were fleeing the DDR over Hungary, seeking a better but far more important, free life, was overwhelming.

It is kind of ironic, that the man, who announced that the border was open with immediate effect, instead of “will be open 4am on 10th November 1989”, literally disappeared after his historic press conference. Sure, he had some sort of political career, but none I´ve noticed in the West. But his words are now the most historic misunderstanding, that led to the events that followed after he had spoken it out. Because only hours later, thousands of people were at the next border gate, demanding that they were let outside into the West. And those pictures are famous and shown all over TV-land when you turn your TV on to watch the news or a special TV feature about the Fall of the Berlin Wall nowadays.

Today, we celebrate on 3rd October, the reunion of Germany. That day is called German Unity Day. But the events, that led to that holiday, happened thirty years ago and four weeks later in November.

How was your week?

Grab Your Books The HoHoHo Readathon 2019 Has Begun!

I´ve almost forgotten that the HoHoHo Readathon has started today! Holy moly – how could I? Good, it is the first one I am doing, and life has been a bit crazy lately, but isn´t that every year the same around November and December? The year´s end is coming closer in huge steps and it literally feels as if time is running out. Without further ado, here is what is going to happen in the next ten days (hopefully). The HoHoHo Readathon will be hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer and runs from November 8th, 12:01 am to November 17th, 2019 at 11:59 pm in your time zone. Meaning ten days of reading with two weekends in-between. Enough reading time for a book or a few, don´t you think? There will be some challenges for the additional fun and some fun prizes. For more information, please hop over to Caffeinated Reviewer.

My list of planned books for this readathon is a bit long, but so far, I am not sure which one I will read or how many I am able to read at all.
