Dewey's 24 hour readathon anticipation post

After being so successful on the last readathon - yayyy, here comes the next one! :) For several years now, I have participated in Dewey's 24 hour readathon  and it has always been so much fun! This time will be a special one, first because it's the 10-year-anniversary of this readathon, and secondly because this will be my first readathon with a blog!!! :) Let's see how good I will be with posting updates this time around.. ;) So, hard facts first: the readathon will be  OCTOBER 21 starting at the same time all over the world and lasting 24 hours. you can check on the website when your starting time is. E.g., for me here in Germany, the readathon starts Saturday at 2pm. Even though there are still over three weeks to go, I have of course started to at least mentally prepare for the event.  Reading Schedule: Thing is, I have a seminar on that day, probably lasting until 5pm. So I will already miss the first 3 hours. And I will not even attempt to read all through...

It's mid of April already?!

Turns out it is... Ah well. To quickly sum up my March:  I finished three books: - Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi) - The beginning of the world in the middle of the night (Jen Campbell) - Vincent (Brabara Stok) All of them I read on the weekend away and all three of them were heartbreaking and beautiful and heartbreakingly beautiful. I also started reading my TBR-game book of the month, the Children's book. This one's also a beauty, but not so easy to read and rather slow-paced. And it's really long. At some point I decided I would rather listen to this one on audiobook, and I was a little disheartened when I saw that audible split the audiobook in 4 download parts. I have one hour left in the first part, and seven in each of the other three... so, you could say I've read about a quarter! ;) Now, for April! :)  so I actually cheated myself with reading Vincent in March as this one is actually part of my TBR-game. I hadn't decided how to deal with that when...

February Wrap, March Madness

And another month in 2018 has started! Can you believe we're already in March?... so first wrapping up February. I read two books in February. Overall, I am reading a little less this year than I usually do, and the reason for that is actually two things: podcasts and Dr Who! :) I usually read on my commute or listen to audiobooks but in the last weeks I fell in love with several podcasts and listened to those instead. And when at home, I really enjoyed falling down the rabbit hole of the Dr Who universe (finally, some of my friends would say.. ;) ). Still, some reading happened. I successfully read my TBR-challenge-read! I finished "Die Pyramide". It was a nice, classic crime story, with a grumpy policeman and ivery unsuspicious suspects, and some nice side-action in Kairo at the pyramids. It was not life-changing, but a quick read. I also reread one of my favorite books ever, for approximately the 20th time. The book is "Understood Betsy", a coming-of-ag...
