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 …

My February/March/2018

As everyone can see, I wasn't much into reading or blogging the last weeks. The February was again a simply lazy month and I suffered a little from my depression. I really missed the sun and I couldn't wait any longer for spring to begin. The March was a waaaay better month. Right in the …

Reread Review – Sabriel – The Old Kingdom by Garth Nix

I read the book several years ago and back then it left me with mixed feelings. Recently – without any particular reasons - I felt drawn to it again. I didn't remember much to be honest. I only had some hints left of necromancy with bells, a lost guy and an somehow weird animal companion …

Review – Scythe (1) by Neal Shusterman – Audio Book Review

When the book first came out I was curious. So I decided to read a few chapters as I mentioned in my „Reading Samples“ post in December and I really liked the beginning of the story. I'm not an audio book person, but every now and then I try some. (I have some color books …

Review – The Suspect – Joe O’Loughlin and Vincent Ruiz 1 by Michael Robotham

The first time I heard about the series was because my Little Lady owns the fourth part of it as an audio book. The premise sounded interesting so I checked it out. I instantly was hooked by the sample and so I decided to buy the first book in the series as an e-book. It …

Review – A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

Who followed my read-along posts in the last few days, will know, that I didn't like the book at all. It kind of confirmed my concerns regarding YA books in general. This book is about a guy named Kell who is one of two persons, who are able to travel between four parallel Londons. After …

Review – A Natural History of Dragons – Lady Trents Memoirs 1 by Marie Brennan

I first heard about this series on „Writing Excuses“ a podcast by Brandon Sanderson and some other writers. Although this is a podcast about writing in general, I was curious who this Marie Brennan was and what she was writing in the past. I liked the idea of an elderly woman writing her memoirs about …

Review – The Others 1+2 by Anne Bishop

I first heard about the series on one of my favorite German blogs. Tina from reading tidbits was raving about the first book so much, that I put „Written in Red“ on my wishlist. After a while I forgot about the series, but when Tina posted an update about the book being published in German …

Review – One Christmas in Paris by Mandy Baggot

The first Christmas themed book I read this year was simply a flop, so I decided I had to try another one before Christmas Eve. I chose One Christmas in Paris (mostly because I loved the German cover and the blurb promised a lot of stuff about Christmas and romance, and cozy time and winter …

Review: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

In the past I wrote (Slash) Fanfictions myself. I never wrote stories about the books I read, but I liked writing about football and bands. I always was a little bit ashamed of it, so I never showed them to someone or uploaded them. The only person with whom I shared the fanfictions was my …
