It’s been a while since I did some reading updates, so I guess here’s one (even it hasn’t really changed so much haha). I’ve been super busy: do you know those days where you have two exams coming up and you decide for which one to study? Yeah, I chose politics over maths and so I’m three flashcards away from a happy day unless my mom drags me with her to go jogging (which would be good because I haven’t moved in quite a while haha). So, here’s my current reading + Netflix situation!

Top Ten Tuesday: the last ten books that gave me a book hangover!
Happy new week – the stress is over, we’re celebrating my mum’s birthday today (so happy happy birthday mum, I wouldn’t be able to survive without you in my life!) and I’m about to spend some quality time with my family! So let’s get straight into books: here are the last ten books that gave me a book hangover and I’m going to interpret this as not being in the mood to read another book after them!
continue reading1984 – 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!
continue readingFirst Impressions: 1984
I chose this book for an English project and so this is for school – however, it doesn’t feel like it as I’ve been planning on reading this for a while now and just got lucky to combine fun and school! Here are my first thoughts on George Orwell’s famous novel 1984!
continue readingTop Ten Tuesday: the most recent additions to my bookshelf!
I’m back from my hiatus and let me just say this: we’re the best community ever! I wrote a post announcing that I’m back and why I haven’t been posting lately, and I got soooo many lovely replies! So my love goes out to all of you!!! Now onto the bookish part: here are my most recent additions to my bookshelf!
continue readingDream 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!
continue readingThe books that defined me over the last decade – Listed!
I saw this over at Lori’s blog, so the credits definitely go to her, but this is so emotional, that I need to write this as well. Books definitely define you as a person, and the last decade was the most important one of my life: it was primary school until the almost end of high school and that’s the most influential time as a young person. Naturally, there are many books that defined me, here’s the list and how they managed to change my life!
continue readingFaust – 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!
continue readingA 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!
continue readingLet’s Talk Bookish: should there be a time limit on spoilers?
First day of the holidays and I baked some Christmas bread, went shopping in sweatpants with my mum and will soon head over to my besties to bake cookies and then join our parents and other friends for dinner. So, a lot happening on the first day off – anyways, onto the bookish part: today’s topic is a very controversial one: should there be a time limit on spoilers! As always, Let’s Talk Bookish is hosted by Rukky @Eternity Books!
