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 February 2021

5. March 20215. March 202120 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

What I Read in January 2021

5. February 20219. February 202137 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great first week of February! I'm currently in the middle of studying for finals, so I wouldn't necessarily say mine has been wonderful, but things are definitely looking better than in January. Between my cat dying, me injuring my foot, and university stress, I'm ready to … Continue reading What I Read in January 2021

My Least Favorite and Most Disappointing Books of 2020

8. January 20218. January 202137 Comments

Happy Friday, guys! Now that you already got my favorite books of 2020, I obviously have to follow up with my least favorites! Because, let's be honest: Sometimes, it's just so satisfying to rant about all the books that ended up letting you down ๐Ÿ˜ As always, I will be splitting this into two parts, … Continue reading My Least Favorite and Most Disappointing Books of 2020

My Favorite Books of 2020

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you've all safely arrived in 2021 and that you're enjoying the new year so far! Anyway, now that 2021 is here, it's time for my obligatory "Favorite Books of the Year" post! I'm actually quite proud of myself for posting this on time for once - last year, it was … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2020

What I Read in December 2020

1. January 20215. January 202123 Comments

Welcome to 2021, and a very happy New Year to you all!! I think we can all agree that 2020 has been quite a ride... It certainly wasn't the year I envisioned having when I wrote last year's December wrap-up, that's for sure. But that's not to say it was all bad! Despite online classes, … Continue reading What I Read in December 2020

What I Read in November 2020

4. December 20204. December 202024 Comments

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great start into December!! โ„๏ธ Or, at the very least, I hope you've had a better week than I have... Between the pandemic and those exams, this year was never really going to make it into the highlights of my life, but these past few days … Continue reading What I Read in November 2020

What I Read in October 2020

3. November 20203. November 202033 Comments

Hi everyone! October has ended, and it's already November! How did that happen? Seriously, time seems to be flying by lately - I guess there's nothing like exams to rob you of hours and hours that you never even noticed you had. And now, finally, I am almost finished! As of mid-October, I am officially … Continue reading What I Read in October 2020

What I Read in September 2020

2. October 202026. October 202019 Comments

Hi everyone! I must say: I'm very relieved September is over ๐Ÿ˜… Now I just have to make it through October, and then my written exams will be over and I will hopefully be qualified enough to start teaching!!! At least theoretically. Even if I pass, I plan on staying at university at least another … Continue reading What I Read in September 2020

What I Read in August 2020

4. September 202010. November 202033 Comments

Hi everyone! Another month has come and gone - and way too fast, if you ask me! I need more time! Seriously, I'm not kidding... For those of you who want to know what I'm up against, this is my exam schedule: September 21: British and American LiteratureSeptember 22: English LinguisticsSeptember 24: Text Production & … Continue reading What I Read in August 2020

What I Read in July 2020

31. July 202015. August 202033 Comments

Happy end of the month, everyone! I know there are technically still a few hours left in July, but since I have a ton of non-reading-related stuff that I have to get done by tomorrow, I think it's highly unlikely that I'll finish another book today. So I thought I might as well give you … Continue reading What I Read in July 2020

What I Read in June 2020

3. July 20203. July 202015 Comments

Hi everyone! I'm actually a bit shocked how quickly June went by - it seems like the month just started, and then it was already over. Maybe my dread of upcoming exams is accelerating time ๐Ÿ˜ However, June actually turned out to be the best reading month I've had in a while. I read so … Continue reading What I Read in June 2020

What I Read in May 2020

2. June 20202. June 20206 Comments

With everything that's going on right now, what I read last month really pales in comparison. So I just wanted to start this post by saying: To all my Black readers - I'm with you and support you 100%. What is going on in the US right now, and has been going on there (and … Continue reading What I Read in May 2020

What I read in April 2020

1. May 20203. January 20217 Comments

I continued my trend from March and read a ton in April - at least I did in the first half of the month. Now that university has started again, my reading has gone down drastically. With all classes being online and me having to prepare them much more thoroughly beforehand, everything just seems to … Continue reading What I read in April 2020

What I Read in March 2020

1. April 20203. January 20212 Comments

I can safely say that March 2020 has been one of the weirdest months of my life so far. If you'd told me I'd ever experience a pandemic a few months ago, I would have said you were crazy. I'd have expected to be struggling to find spare time in March, not toilet paper. I … Continue reading What I Read in March 2020

My Least Favorite and Most Disappointing Books of 2019

28. March 20203. January 20211 Comment

I guess the good part about having read less in 2019 is that I also didn't read as many things that I didn't like - these lists turned out quite short this time around! As in previous years, I'll be starting out with the books I didn't like at all, and then continue with my … Continue reading My Least Favorite and Most Disappointing Books of 2019

My Favorite Books of 2019

26. March 20203. January 20211 Comment

Better late than never, I guess ๐Ÿ˜‰ In a way, you have the coronavirus to thank for finally getting this post, since I now have plenty of introvert time to dedicate to this blog. I hope you and your families are also healthy, safe, and not too bored! It took me forever to narrow this … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2019

What I Read in February 2020

1. March 20203. January 20211 Comment

I'm making progress! I read more in February than in January, and since my last exam is on March 6th, I really hope I can keep going along that trajectory. Also, I also read some books this month that I really, really enjoyed, not just classics I was forcing myself to read or anticipated releases … Continue reading What I Read in February 2020

What I Read in January 2020

2. February 20203. January 20213 Comments

Here's to a new reading year that will hopefully be better than the last one! Or not just hopefully - it'd better be better because I still have hundreds of classics left on my Staatsexamen reading list, and I should definitely have read a big portion of them before taking the exam this summer... Anyway, … Continue reading What I Read in January 2020

What I Read in December 2019

4. January 20203. January 2021Leave a comment

Here we are - the last of my finally unprivated 2019 posts! I ended December on a reading high: Christmas break was here, which meant I finally had a bit more time to laze around and read! I also had quite a bit of luck with the books I read this month. Overall, I really … Continue reading What I Read in December 2019

What I Read in November 2019

1. December 20193. January 2021Leave a comment

November was a really weird reading month for me. I didn't read much, but out of the three books I did manage to pick up, I absolutely adored two and despised the other. For a bit more clarification, here are my more in-depth thoughts: Heartstopper: Volumes One and Two by Alice Oseman (5/5 Stars each) … Continue reading What I Read in November 2019
