Category: What I read

Every month, I briefly discuss the books I read here! You’ll find short reviews of all of them – spoiler-free, unless I explicitly state otherwise. If you’d like more in-depth reviews with spoilers, you can check out my book reviews page ;) However, I don’t have a full review up for every book I read, so these short ones are a good place to start!

What I Read in July 2022

5. August 20223. August 202233 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! It's me, back from the dead!! Fine, maybe I'm being a little bit dramatic here... But it genuinely feels like I've been gone forever because so much happened during July! With a ton of exams and my teaching evaluation looming - this is a single lesson that counts for a huge proportion … Continue reading What I Read in July 2022

What I Read in June 2022

1. July 202230. June 202237 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! Welcome to July! Can you believe half of 2022 has already come and gone? On the one hand, it feels like this year has dragged on and on forever, and on the other, it's flying by so fast that I can barely keep up. Like, that two-week break at the beginning of … Continue reading What I Read in June 2022

What I Read in May 2022

3. June 20223. June 202241 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! We've made it to June! Which means I have two weeks off for Pentecost break starting tomorrow 🤗 I mean, I will probably need that break to catch up on all the stuff I need to do for work, but still... When given the choice between a busy break and no break … Continue reading What I Read in May 2022

What I Read in April 2022

6. May 20226. May 202233 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! We have survived April 2022! I don't know about you, but chaotic doesn't even begin to sum up my past month... For one thing, I was constantly running from one place to the next in completely unsuitable clothing - How am I supposed to plan what to wear when the weather keeps … Continue reading What I Read in April 2022

What I Read in March 2022

8. April 20228. April 202231 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! A week late, I am finally here with my March wrap-up! (But come on, how could I possibly resist posting my Tawny Man Trilogy review on April Fool's Day, when that series is literally named for my dearly beloved Fool? 🥰 I obviously couldn't!!! Especially when I also love playing tricks on … Continue reading What I Read in March 2022

What I Read in February 2022

4. March 20224. March 202254 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! Did you know that I used to think February was the shortest month of the year, so nothing much could happen in it? Well... I may have been a bit naïve 😅 Both on a personal and global scale, I don't think I've ever had a month as eventful as February 2022. … Continue reading What I Read in February 2022

What I Read in January 2022

4. February 202221. May 202250 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! 'Tis I, Naemi, bringing you tidings of the first month of the year! Okay, yeah, I'll admit that I couldn't really think of a good way to begin this post... But overall, January was a very eventful month for me! Some impressions of January, featuring: 1) lots of snow, 2) the aftermath … Continue reading What I Read in January 2022

My Least Favorite and Most Disappointing Books of 2021

7. January 202221. May 202235 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! As promised, I'm following up on my favorite books of 2021 by giving you my least favorites! Evil as I undoubtedly am, this post is always one of my favorite yearly wrap-up posts to write. Because who doesn't love a good old rant? This time, however, we're going to do things a … Continue reading My Least Favorite and Most Disappointing Books of 2021

My Favorite Books of 2021

4. January 202221. May 202243 Comments

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you've all had a great start into 2022, and to make that start even greater, I am here with a list of absolutely wonderful books that you simply have to read!!!!! (I know, that was a flawless transition, wasn't it? 🙃) I'm not kidding - 2021 was possibly THE … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2021

What I Read in December 2021

31. December 202126. July 202229 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! Can you believe we're already at the end of 2021? Somehow, this year simultaneously managed to fly by and drag on and on and on, and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, 2021 was undeniably horrible. I spent a large chunk of it in COVID … Continue reading What I Read in December 2021

What I Read in November 2021

3. December 202121. May 202248 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! And guess what?! I'M FINALLY FREE!!! As of yesterday, I have officially defended my master's thesis, so now I really have nothing left to do. Except read. And sleep. And bake Christmas cookies. And play lots of violin, piano, and ukulele. And watch Lost in Space, Season 3. All of which I'm … Continue reading What I Read in November 2021

What I (Didn’t) Read in October 2021

5. November 202121. May 202238 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone!!! Gosh, you have no idea how thrilled I am to say that 🤗 I'm back!!! The last few weeks have been absolutely insane, and I still can't quite believe that I actually handed in my thesis and have free time now. The whole concept sounds alien, somehow. I don't think I've had … Continue reading What I (Didn’t) Read in October 2021

What I Read in September 2021

1. October 202121. May 202229 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone, and welcome to October! To be honest, September was a very mixed month for me. My grandfather died, I've barely had time for anything other than writing my thesis - which has manifested itself in a huge lack of sleep so that I can at least get some reading time in - … Continue reading What I Read in September 2021

What I Read in August 2021

3. September 202121. May 202233 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone... ... and welcome to September! Honestly, August went by so fast, it was a blur. I flooded and re-dried my room, got a haircut, corrected hundreds of exams, finally got my computer to calculate what I wanted it to, went to the Netherlands, made it back home in spite of train strikes, … Continue reading What I Read in August 2021

What I Read in July 2021

6. August 202121. May 202237 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone, and welcome to August! July was a whirlwind of a month for me: I had exams, had to grade loads of other people's exams, got fully vaccinated, got to know my bed a bit better because of getting fully vaccinated, and spent a bunch of time making angry faces at my computer … Continue reading What I Read in July 2021

What I Read in June 2021

2. July 202121. May 202231 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great start to July! For my part, I've arrived in the new month looking like a zombie because I've been watching so much soccer instead of sleeping. Which maybe isn't the best prerequisite for taking exams - my first one is roughly a week from now … Continue reading What I Read in June 2021

What I Read in May 2021

4. June 202121. May 202241 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! Can you believe five months of 2021 have already come and gone? Much like in 2020, the fact that I haven't really been able to go anywhere has completely warped my sense of time, so even though I feel like we've been under lockdown forever, I'm still wondering where all those months … Continue reading What I Read in May 2021

What I Read in April 2021

7. May 202121. May 202236 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! Another month has come and gone, although I've barely managed to process it because I've been so busy 😂 University started again, I moved, and now that I actually understand stuff, my master's thesis has taken over a huge chunk of my waking hours. Which is probably going to stay that way … Continue reading What I Read in April 2021

What I Read in March 2021

2. April 202121. May 202245 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! March is over, and we've finally found our way into Spring! At least that's the case here in Germany. While we still had quite a bit of snow in mid-March, everything is now green and covered in flowers, and I've really been enjoying spending time outside. I actually found the perfect audiobook-listening … Continue reading What I Read in March 2021

What I Read in February 2021

5. March 202121. May 202229 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great start to March! Personally, I find it astounding that we're already over two months into 2021. February really seems to have flown by! Although, looking back, I did actually do quite a lot this past month. I had my own exams, and then spent pretty … Continue reading What I Read in February 2021
