13 to be exact!



Firstly, the re-reads (I'm a big re-reader - Haha!)

- Forever(The Wolves of Mercy Falls #3) by Maggie Stiefvater

        Lovely and thrilling conclusion to the series!

- Paper Towns by John Green
      3.5 out of 5 stars
      I love the friendship between the boys and Lacey but I can't stand Margo!

- Saga by Brian K. Vaughan
     4.5 out of 5 stars
     Love it! A bit confusing in the beginning but action-packed! Has some sexy times in it!

- Carpe Diem by Autumn Cornwell
     5 out of 5 stars
     One of my favourite books! It really opened my eyes to some topics! And I loved Hanks.

Okay, and here are the books I read for the first time!

- The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
     1.5  out of 5 stars
    Let's just say, I'm happy that I only wasted 3 Euros on it.

- Ich habe meine Sache hier getan by Hans Halter
     4 out of 5 stars
     Lives and last words of celebrities. Summarized with a lot of wit!

- The Quotable Doctor Who: Wise words from across space and time by Scott Cavan
     4 out of 5 stars
     A must-have for every Doctor Who fan!

- Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer
     I already wrote a review on this one!
     Check it out here: http://book-dwarf.blogspot.de/2014/11/cinder-lunar-chronicles-1-by-marissa.html

- Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles #2) by Marissa Meyer
     5 out of 5 stars
     Even better than the first one! Couldn't put it down!

- Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions by Georgia Nicolson #1) by Louise
  Rennison
    3 out of 5 stars
    A fun and quick read but nowhere near my favourites-shelf.

Look at that pile of books - haha!
From top to bottom:
Cinder
Scarlet
Carpe Diem (the German edition)
Saga I
Ich habe meine Sache hier getan
The Lovely Bones (German Edition)
The Quotable Doctor Who by
Angus, Thongs and full-frontal snoggin
Forever (called 'In deinen Augen' in Germany = ' In your eyes'
              The trilogy creates a whole sentence more or less:
               After Summer - Light lies - In your eyes)
Graceling (called 'Die Beschenkte' = The graced one)
Fire (called 'Die Flammende' = The flaming one)
Bitterblue (called 'Die Königliche' = The royal one)

I'm currently lending Paper Towns to a friend of mine, so it's not included in the pile - sorry!


My TBR for December is:

- Cress (The Lunar Chronicles #3) by Marissa Meyer
- Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
- The Selection by Kiera Cass
- I'll be there by Holly Goldberg Sloan
- a re-read: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
- Roman myths
- another re-read: Divergent by Veronica Roth
- third re-read: Pandora Hearts, a manga

It's not like I have a huge exam period right now - nah.
I hope I'll manage to read them all!

See you next Friday when I'm back with some new fanart!

Have a nice week!
