My January 2018

It wasn't an exciting month at all. I finally got divorced on Jan. 10th and had to do some paper work afterwards. Later I had a few appointments (mostly in hospital) and the rest of the time I spent re-watching Heartland (which is kind of a guilty pleasure), gaming and only reading a little bit. …

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 …

Currently Reading January 2018

TTT – Top Ten Books on my Winter TBR

hosted by The Broke and the Bookish I usually don't do seasonal TBRs, so this list serves as a loose orientation. But I tend to read more cozy/romance/Christmas novels in Winter time. Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson This is one of my MUST-READs and it is a shame, I didn't buy it already, as …

Currently Reading November 2017

As you will see in the future, I'm the kind of reader who reads several books in parallel. Most of the time it is a lack of concentration, or a new book is published, which I wanna read immediately. Sometimes I just search for more variety in my reading. I might upload a currently reading …
