27th of January 2018 Favorite books of 2017 (4) A book that took me by total suprise, We Are Okay by Nina LaCour.  I love this book. I could recognize myself in the way Marin feels, very well. Nina LaCour did a very good job transferring depressive feelings into words, which is incredibly hard. Something I am not be able to do (yet).  What can I say more? Here is a description of the book if you are interested: Marin hasn’t spoken to anyone from her old life since the day she left everything behind. No one knows the truth about those final weeks. Not even her best friend, Mabel. But even thousands of miles away from the California coast, at college in New York, Marin still feels the pull of the life and tragedy she’s tried to outrun. Now, months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits. Mabel is coming to visit, and Marin will be forced to face everything that’s been left unsaid and finally confront the loneliness that has made a home in her heart.

20th of January Favorite books of 2017 (1) Because why not? I like to talk about my favorite books with people, but because of lack of social contact, that’s a little hard.  Still I want to share it. So.... Tumblr is my place to go. I have a few favorite books to share with you, 5 to be exact. (And then I have a few honorable mentions).  The first on this list, and also my absolute favorite of the year is: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. A brilliant, witty book. I don’t know what to say more! It’s great! I do have to admit that it has a certain writing style, and if you don’t really like that, you will probably not like the book. (Simple right?)  It’s one of those books that kept me thinking long afterward. (Which doesn’t happen that often).  I am really looking forward to be reading more of the weird Wilde. Maybe he’ll make it to the favorites list of 2018, who knows??

24th of January 2018 Favorite books of 2017 (3) Shame, shame, shame on me. Yes, I admit! I haven’t read the entire HP series yet. I started the series when I was about 9 years old, now almost 10 years later I started the last book. Last year I read ‘The Half-Blood Prince’, and what can I say? It’s a freaking masterpiece! Harry Potter has a special place in my heart and I am very grateful for JK Rowling. Thank you queen! You made the world a little better. I think I don’t need to explain why I loved this book so much do I? ;)
