In the middle of the fifth book of the "Throne of Glass" -Series. I do understand the fuss, that's surrounding it, now. Absolutely love that the women are not only empowered but also smart!

Started two days ago and I am already half way through. It's as captivating as the first!
Even though the "conclusions" the game draws are not entirely possible in real life... Not without a human behind it at least. It remains exiting!

1) Yes I do! My apologies to the authors with not so good graphic designers ...
2) I got The Subtle Knife as a birthday present as sequence to Northern Lights (love it)

Crazy Rich Asians | Kevin Kwan

I saw someone reading the new book "crazy rich grilfriens" (#3) in the train. I googeld it, read that it was funny and here we go: The frist in the series^^

Deifio Did you watch the film? I liked Nick in the film more. Though the left out Alice's story... 3y
Tahoe Yeah I did out of curiosity. The book transfered the struggle (and kind of unhappiness) of the super rich better than the film. And I missed Asterids story as well. 3y

I started yesterday on my way to work. Since then I can barely stop reading^^ it's easy, teen- English which fits perfectly the age of the characters. It's also making it effortless to read which is exactly what I need right now :D

I heard much about this book and I have to say I really liked it! Lots of fantasy but without the endless discriptions.

This book got me hooked!
Through fights in a virtual world it is exiting and adding to that you are witness of how the main character changes through Erebos. I loved it!

Thank you very much for the tipp @LittleBug ! This were the books I got from 'Brösels Buchregal' in Hersbruck, it's a REAL win! It's really neat and has a good selection of books you actually want to read, other than many book sharing stations which get misused as storage for ancient books none wants anymore.

Mehso-so

It's interesting to read! For science-fiction fans I would almost say:a must read; but for me the writing style was hard because of so many 'scientific facts'. Still: I really like the ideas they poured in there (about one human race to conquer the galaxy and the discovery of other (more) intelligent beeings).

Madam President: A Novel | Nicolle Wallace
post image
Mehso-so

Sooo this book took me quite a while.
Most of the book was chewy and I had no urge to keep picking it up. Its written in a formal style since it displays a day in the White House with accurate language. But I would have hoped for more emphasis on the *female* president since that was what the title promised..
I needed to read this for a Seminar I am taking this Semester but for me personally I probably wouldn't have finished it.

Of course! When I come to think about it the best books I read had mostly over 400 pages 🤔😄
I try now and then to convince some of my not-so read-obsessed- friends to not be intimidated by size/length.

This book contains a lot of philosophical questions. You could just go on and on and on thinking about who's right with his/her opinion and how you still can understand the other view.Got the feeling I may add things to my review because there probably is much more that'll bubble to the surface only when thinking about it a little longer.
I needed to cry at some point, that barely ever happened so far.

I listend to the audio-book and it was a welcomed take-away to another time in history. Even though the beginning seemed outstretched it took on some speed until you get pulled in😄😉 you had time to get to know the characters and feel with them, especially Fiona (main character). 😊

Well this book had me tied up :D at first I was al little off because the Ideas seemed familar and predictable (at least for someone who read the "Selection" - series) and the love triangle was nothing new as well. But (!) because of the (really cool) abilitys and more action than I expected it was pretty gripping! So the supernatural won me over I guess^^ Let's start the next one O.O !!!

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego This series definitely reminds me of The Selection series too, but it's got a bit more substance. I'm really enjoying it. YA can be rather formulaic, but I still love it... Also welcome to Litsy 📖💙 6y
Tahoe Yes thats my impression as well. The intrigues and trust- earning after betrayal is really adding its part :D 6y
