Freud – Mini Review

So Netflix recentl released a new series called Freud and while I didn’t give it much thought at first, my mom went crazy due to the fact that it’s about the young Sigmund Freud and is set in Vienna. That might not be anything special, but since my grandmother spent a great deal of her childhood in Vienna and I’ve spent every August in our house there, since my mum was very interested in the psychologist Freud and his invention of the psychoanalysis and her best friend is a psychology professor – well, my mum and I watched the series. Long story short, here’s a mini review!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – Review

In a wave of sadness to be stuck at home and not being able to go on my planned trip to London this week, I decided to reread Harry Potter, this time my favorite, Prisoner of Azkaban. Here are my thoughts on rereading it and thereby finishing my Harry Potter Rereading Marathon!

Chain of Gold – Review

I am beyond happy to have finished this HUGE book of almost 600 pages. It felt so good to be back in the Shadowhunter world, in this familiar universe. Here are my thoughts on Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Last Hours.

The Gentlemen – Mini Movie Review

It’s Saturday and I went to the movies with my mum yesterday to watch the new Guy Ritchie movie called The Gentlemen and it was fantastic. Here are my thoughts!

1984 – Review

Wow. I finally finished 1984 and tomorrow, I have to present it in class. That’s very good time management. Anyways, I have a pretty different feeling towards it now than after having read the first thirty pages as well as the minutes after finishing it completely vs. now, having informed myself on why the book was written (politics etc.) So this shall be a very interesting review: here are my thoughts on George Orwell’s 1984!

Dream on – Review

I’ve never been that person to finish a book in under 24h – but I was so entranced by rereading the Silver Trilogy that I immediately picked up the second book of this trilogy, emptied my head of meaningless school stuff, sat down and speed read. Here are my thoughts!

Faust – Review

It’s finally done – I just finished Faust and I am beyond happy to not have died. In the history of every German student to have ever walked the planet, this famous play by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is considered the hardest, weirdest and worst play ever. Here are my slightly different thoughts, aka not too bad!

A Winter’s Promise – Review

The first Christmas read is done – A Winter’s Promise was one of my mother’s gift and I loved it. Originally titled Les Fiancés de l’hiver, it’s the first book in the French series The Mirror Visitor by Christelle Dabos. Here are my thoughts!

Royals – Review

I’ve been reading Royals or now, Prince Charming for the past days and I’ve finally found the time to end it – I have mixed feelings, so this might get interesting. Here are my thoughts on Rachel Hawkins novel!

The Queen of Nothing – Spoiler Review

I wrote a spoiler-free review (click here), but I have so many thoughts that are linked to certain scenes of the book, whether they are bad or good, and since I don’t want to ruin anyone’s experience: here’s a separate review. Please, if you’re planning on reading this book or are in the middle of doing so, please don’t read the following text!
