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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great start into December!! ❄️ 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
Hi everyone! I must say: I'm very relieved September is over 😅 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
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
Hi everybody! This week's post is coming to you from a severely sleep-deprived me, but that's because I just had a reading week so awesome that I feel like this week alone will be responsible for about half of my favorite books of the year. I'm not kidding! Among others, I read one four-star and … Continue reading Mini-Reviews: The Interestings, Allegedly, The Anti-Virginity Pact
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
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
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
