Let’s Talk Bookish: what makes a good villain?

I’m finally back: the first week of school was a killer and I didn’t have time to read ONE page, or even check up on my blog. So, I’m back, but a day late. Anyways: today I’ll be discussing a good villain – what makes a good villain and personal favorites! Let’s Talk Bookish is as always hosted by Rukky @Eternitybooks!

Top Ten Tuesday: my bookish party!

Here we go again, two days back in school and it’s a totally different world: I can’t hug my friends, no group work, only some special courses and everything with a great distance. The only two big advantages: one of my best friends is staying at my house because hers is too far from school to drive there every day for only two hours to spend there – and we all get to bike to school together. That’s my corona update, here we go now with the bookish part. I invite you all to my bookish party and will describe it!

April Wrap-Up + May TBR!

I’m a day late and I haven’t posted much lately: I’ve had a very stressful home-school week as we start school on Monday (the seniors, 2 meters apart and I’m super happy to see my friends again, but waking up at 6.30am again is going to be torture) and I had the worst migraine yesterday – so I was super inactive 😦 But anyways: here are all the books/ bookish things about last month and my reading goals for May!

The Harry Potter Film Binge Quiz + tag along!

I recently did the Rather Difficult Harry Potter Quiz and I really enjoyed doing it as well as writing the post, so here’s another one! You can tag along here, I’ll always post the question and then you can scroll down a little to get the answer, or do the complete quiz here. Let’s go and see if watching the movies for at least 20 times each payed off!

Top Ten Tuesday: books I wish I’d read as a child!

It’s Tuesday, I’m currently watching Blacklist with my mother, but just now her friend called and she doesn’t seem to stop talking any time soon – so here we go! Here are the books I wish I’d read as a child – some of them I read later, some of them I never had the chance to catch up on!

Unorthodox – Mini Review

I’ve been watching Netflix more and more and my best friend watched Unorthodox together with her entire family and loved it – and so my mom and I wanted to try it as well! Here are my thoughts on the new Netflix mini series!

First Impressions: Crown of Midnight

For the time being, I put down Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in order to continue with the Throne of Glass series, something I should have done long ago! I’m more than 150 pages into the second book, so you can’t really call it first impressions, but here are my thoughts!

Let’s Talk Bookish: all about books!

I haven’t had the time to read all week and I’m super mad about it… Too many zoom conferences where teachers tell me nothing new, too many essays and math problems to solve and too much time spent on TikTok. So I’m happy to at least have the time to write my favorite tag – Let’s Talk Bookish, hosted by Rukky @Eternitybooks: today, I’ll be talking about how many books I own, how I organize them, where I buy my books. Basically, everything one needs to know about books (personalized version – my books)!

Top Ten Tuesday: books I read because of FOMO

Another Tuesday, I should be doing some home schooling, but oh well! Today I’ll be listing all the books I read because of FOMO – the fear of missing out. And while that might not be super obvious, there are quite a few books that I read because I wanted to be able to discuss them with the community! It was primarily in my younger days when I was more insecure about my posts and cared more for stats and followers and when I was new to my blog: I think that’s probably the case for most bloggers because they want to fit in and be part of the group. Now, however, I almost always read what I want and when I do read books that are super hyped (I do follow the hype train!), it’s not because I wish to discuss them with others, but because I am intrigued by the book itself, the discussion is the cherry on top!

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!
