review – Blogger Books

My fascination for Sally Rooney

It’s been quite a while since you’ve heard anything from me, more than a year in fact. I’m currently in the middle of studying law, which is quite time-consuming and haven’t had the chance to read as many books as I would have liked to. I did manage to read some during the summer, and one has stood out in particular: Beautiful World, Where are you by Sally Rooney. It marks the third book I’ve read and loved written by the young Irish author. Rather than writing a review (it’s been a couple of months, so maybe better like this!), I’d like to share why I love her books and what makes them so special for me.

Serpent and Dove – Review

I read this book in August, but haven’t had the chance to write a review yet. Loved it, tho. I hadn’t read a fantasy novel for quite some time and so being transported into a different and new world was super magical. Here are my thoughts!

Pride and Prejudice – Review

It’s been half a year since I have last posted! The last semester was super stressful and during summer break, I spent most of the time traveling, writing papers and revising. I have, however, read a couple of books (just haven’t had the time to write reviews). But now, after finishing Pride and Prejudice, I feel like I really need to get things off my chest. So here are my thoughts!

The Viscount who loved me – Review

It’s been a while since I’ve written a review – mainly because I’ve been reading Harry Potter again and writing a third or fourth review on a book would be a little excessive, and secondly, because all I’ve been doing is reading court rulings for my seminar paper (which was incredibly fun, no hate here!). But after watching Bridgerton Season 2 and being dumbstruck at how I could even love the second season more than I did the first, I decided it was time to read the books. I just finished the second one (yes, I started with the second – I was invested in Anthony and Kate) and loved it. Here’s my review!

The books I read during the holidays

The holidays feel like a lifetime ago, so much happened: I went back to Munich, uni started again and I MOVED INTO MY OWN APPARTMENT – what?!

January was super intense, happy because I love living alone and I’m not lonely (my fear) and also sad because the holidays were such a magical time with my family. I spent two weeks just NOT DOING ANY WORK, reading, watching movies, going on walks and spending quality time with my family. I reread (nostalgic, you know) a few books and thought I’d share them if anyone is in need of awesome books!

First Impressions: The Spanish Love Deception

It’s been some time since I’ve read a book not connected to university and I have very strong feelings about the start of the story, so here is my first impression of The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas. I actually discovered this book on TikTok, which is so funny to me because I usually see TikToks of all the books I love, but this one was about great romance reads and since that is not my genre, I didn’t know a single book – anyways, here’s my first impression!

Let’s Talk Bookish – what makes a book a five star read?

It’s been a while since I’ve discussed something and since Let’s Talk Bookish has always been my favorite tag, I am beyond excited to write this post! The tag is hosted by Rukky @eternitybooks and Dani @ Literary Lion. Today’s question What makes a book a five star read is not actually today’s topic, but I didn’t really know what to write for today’s question and so researched a few older ones and found this AWESOME question by M.T. Wilson @ The Last Book on the Left – so let’s get into it!

First Impressions: Chain of Iron

I guess first impressions are a bit wide-fetched since I am 200 pages in and the story is already super developed. But since the book is 600 pages long, I guess I’ll write one anyways because I have MILLIONS of thoughts…

A Court of Thorns and Roses – Review

Wow – I’m back after five months and it feels awesome! If you were wondering, I took an extreme break because of my high school finals, but now they’re over, I’m on the train to take a mini vacation with my best friend and is there a better way than to use this opportunity to start writing again? Anyways, I have not read much, but I did finish Sarah J Maas’ amazing book A Court of Thorns and Roses, so here’s a review!

Normal People – Review

After three weeks of complete silence, I have managed to show myself again. Online school started again, I only have my main courses and exams in school and that was such a stressful arrangement for me… So I didn’t have any time to read for three weeks up until Tuesday after finishing my last exam: and then I power-read Normal People by Sally Rooney in two days. Here are my thoughts!
