Meeting My Favorite Author

If one asks me now, how it feels to meet my biggest idol of all time, I now have an answer to this question. And to be honest - it is an amazing feeling. I guess I will never forget the 15th of May 2019 - the day I met Brandon Sanderson.  _ But let's …

All the books I read so far (2019 edition)

As I said in my last post, I'm not reading much this year. There is so much going on, that I don't have enough brain space for books. BUT at least I finished 10 books so far. And I can say, that I read a wide variety of different genres AND I read more sequels …

Currently Reading April 2018

I'm still not in a reading mood, but audio books work very well at the moment. My reading slump isn't the greatest thing for my yearly reading goals. I have waaaay to many books I started and never got back to recently. ___ The Core (Pt. 1) by Peter V. Brett 106 pages in I …

First Book Haul 2018

I know, I know, I know. One of my yearly goals is to lower my TBR under 10. Now I made it even harder in buying more - and reading less books. BUT I bought a lot of sequels or actually last books in a series. Which is important for one of my other goals …

Currently Reading January 2018

It wasn't a great reading start into the year. I only finished one book so far and a few short stories and no book could hook me long enough to forget my upcoming divorce. Now it is done and I'm free again and I hope I will get more into reading soon again. I'm currently …

All about… Brandon Sanderson

I guess everyone knows by now, that Brandon Sanderson is indeed my favorite author. I once had the plan to read everything he ever published (except the final books for the Wheel of Time series – because there is no way, that I will read the complete series ever). Recently I noticed, that I lost …

TTT- Top Ten favorite scenes with a strong emotional impact on me

I know this weeks TTT is „New to me authors in 2017“, but due to the fact, that I only read 20 books this year, I didn't discover ten new authors. So I decided to do something else. I chose ten bookish (and one play) scenes which made me cry or otherwise had an huge …

My Year 2017

My year in general This year was one of the most exciting years, I ever had in my life. At the end of 2016 I lost my last job (as an agent by an international mobile phone agency) due to insolvency. So I had to start a new job in the beginning of 2017. After …

TTT – Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To In 2018

I loved my Christmas so far. On Christmas Eve I became a Cooking Faery and some friends came over to visit me and my Little Lady. And yesterday until today we visited my Little Ladys Family, had more amazing food and played one of my childhood games and watched some crime movies on TV. It …

Currently Reading December 2017

I don't know when it actually started, that I read several books in parallel. I don't think I did it in my teenage years, but with the beginning of my early twenties I was so excited for new books, that I always had more than one half-read book with me. And I still have. I'm …
