Happy #worldbookday everyone! It's possible that I might have bought fifty books recently...š Couldn't say no to this wonderful collection. Have you read any of the penguin modern box? #penguinmodernboxset #prettybooks #bookstagram #bookcollection #igreads #shelfie
The best thing about spring and summer is outdoor reading. And it gets even better if there are some lovely colourful flowers to look at every now and then... ššµļø #currentlyreading #istilldream #jamessmythe #boroughpress #igreads #bookstagram #booksandplants #spring #readingonthebalcony
It's spring! Finally! I'm looking forward to reading on the balcony and spending lunch breaks in the sun... #bookstagram #booksandflowers #tulips #shelfie #nofilter
This is not a foodie account but I've got to share this .... we went for some #swedish dinner last night. So unbelievably tasty! Had #elkburger and also vodka that tasted like blueberries. #soyummy #foodstagram #notafoodiebut #amidoingthisright #nonbook (hier: Kerstins svensk restaurang im Hotel Henriette Davidis)

It's #indiebookday! ššš Newest addition to my bookshelves: #bestseller by #bekaadamaschwili #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksandplants #igreads #prettybooks
Today I read the first essay in #timparks collection #whereimreadingfrom. In this book Parks writes about books and reading and tried to answer several questions concerning the reading process and the world of books. The first question is "do we need stories?". Intriguing and thought-provoking! #currentlyreading #kunstmannverlag #prettybooks #booksaboutbooks #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #mereadingbooks #igreads
I've just started reading #toolikethelightning and I'm already absolutely fascinated by it. Weird sci-fi with a philosophical twist. Very promising... #currentlyreading #adapalmer #torbooks #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #prettybooks #sciencefiction #mereadingbooks
A quote that made me laugh because it rings so true... From #sourdough by #robinsloan. #currentlyreading #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #igreads #quotes #farrarstrausgiroux

Because I'm almost dying in anticipation for the new #murakami here's my #murakamishelf. The German translation will be available next monday and even though I did not love his last novel, Murakami is a #mustbuy for me... I know there are still a few missing from my collection. #harukimurakami #bookstagram #bookshelf #shelfie #1q84 #oevre

I love the creepy cover of my #currentlyreading! #creepycover #thegripofit #dontreadwhenalone #jacjemc #fsgbooks
~ in which I answer hard-pressing questions like āhave I read more ebooks than physical ones?ā or āwhich genre was the predominant one?ā and of course āwhich one was my 2017 favourite?ā ~
But first, letās get the resolutions out of the way! Hereās my new yearās resolution for 2018: Write more! And write consistently! I have neglected my blog in recent months and I probably could make up some half-assed excuse for this. But hereās the truth: Iāve been lazy. Iāve started writing some reviews and even had a few other ideas but I havenāt finished anything really since August. So there, this is my first step in the direction of bettering myself.
On a personal level, 2017 has been an awesome year. After ten years of living in the same apartment, Iāve finally moved on to something bigger, brighter and quieter. Also, in May I started a new job that improved what is nowadays called my āwork-life-balanceā. A LOT. Although I miss parts of my old job (my colleagues!!! and being surrounded by books all day), all in all, Iām in a much better place now than I was a year before. So, this was the personal side of it. Now letās get to the interesting part.
2017 in reading!
I read (i.e. finished) 38 books this year, thatās 12.265 pages! In my Goodreads reading challenge I aimed fairly low (30 books) in order to take some of the pressure off and give myself a little bit more freedom in choosing what I read. I think that worked out quite alright.
Iāve read more physical books than ebooks ā 80%. I still love my e-reader, though!
Iāve only reviewed a third of the books I read ā that needs to change in 2018!!
At last, letās do the hardest part of the year in review: the favourites! Iāve decided to narrow it down to my top threeā¦ but then I simply couldnāt choose. So here are the books that received a five-star rating from me.
Sometimes when youāre sick youāve got to treat yourself to something from the wishlistā¦ #newbooks #holdyourown #katetempest #picadorpoetry #poetry #bookstagram #igreads #booksofinstagram
How I spent my Sundayā¦ Fourth in an awesome Austrian thriller series! Danke @ursulapoznanski, fĆ¼r einen unglaublich spannenden vierten Teil! Meiner Meinung nach der bisher beste von allen! Und mein Chardonnay hƤtte Beatrice glaub ich auch geschmeckt! ???? #justfinishedreading #poznanski #beatricekaspary #schatten #wunderlichverlag #booksandbooze #whitewine #bookstagram #igreads
This one is going in the top five of 2017! Probably even top threeā¦ What an awesome book! #nathanhill is a true craftsman of literature! ?????? #awesomereads #bestbooksever #thenix #alfredaknopf #bookstagram #igreads
Iām done! It took me six awesome weeks and Iām absolutely in love with Rothfussā writing! Though he did leave more than a few questions unansweredā¦ #finishedreading #patrickrothfuss #thewisemansfear #kingkillerchronicles #daytwo #kvothethebloodless #kvotheforever #bookstagram #igreads #brokenspines
Out of the 38 books, I read 8 books turned out to be five-star books for me. Not a bad outcome, in my opinionā¦ That means about 20% of the books Iāve read in 2017 were absolutely awesome! I also think that these eight books represent my reading year awfully well. Thereās Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Literary Fiction, YA, a Thriller (!), and poetry. There are books that are part of a series as well as stand-alone novels. There are books Iāve read in German and ones in English. As Iām writing this, Iām trying to decide which is the absolute number one and Iām torn between the two largest of the bunch. The NixĀ (I even reviewed that one here, yay!) and The Wise Manās Fear (which is part two of a series) come to a close tie.
To me that sends a clear message: I tend to like big books and Iām going to not shy away from them in 2018. And on this additional resolution, Iāll end my retrospective of 2017 in reading.
Have a great 2018 ā in reading and otherwise!
Ā 2017 ā My year in Reading ~ in which I answer hard-pressing questions like āhave I read more ebooks than physical ones?ā or āwhich genre was the predominant one?ā and of course āwhich one was my 2017 favourite?ā ~
First post and first read of #2018. Happy new year everyone! šš I'm #currentlyreading #tyll by German author #danielkehlmann and so far it's ok but not as great as expected... #mereadingbooks #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #rowohltverlag #feelingtotallyhyggerightnow

Today I've been craving some poetry so I turned to this little volume of the #penguinmodernpoets series. I read the #emilyberry part and I'm really intrigued. Definitely going to read some more of her work! Do any of you have a favourite poetry collection? #bookstagram #shelfie #poetry #ifimscaredwecantwin #prettybooks #igreads
My #nailpolish matches my #currentread! It's a short introduction to the life of queen Elizabeth II. #elizabethii #biography #penguinmonarchs #bookstagram #igreads #prettybooks #goldenbooks #colourcoding
