Let's start off with my Haul.
I purchased 13 books this month. So much for 'I won't buy any books this month'.
But I've read as many books as I bought, so I don't feel bad! Haha!
And 4 of these books I bought at a Second-Hand shop and only paid 3,80 Euros for it.
So I saved some money here.
Here's my pile:
From top to bottom, I have:
- The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson
(which I'm currently reading)
- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
(It was only 30 cents!)
- A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
(Only 50 cents!)
- Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
(which I'm reading for our school's book club)
- A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
(I got this one for 1 Euro! So cheap!)
- Shadow Kiss, Frostbite and Vampire Academy
all by Richelle Mead
-World After by Susan Ee
- Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by
JK Rowling (only 1,50 Euro! That hunk of a
book! And it doesn't even have a scratch)
- City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
I've already read 5 books from this pile (not counting Harry Potter 5(which I've read multiple times) and the two books I'm already half way through) but let's start the other way round.
Here are all of the books I've read this month and are not in the pictures above:
-The Handmaiden's Tale by Margret Atwood
3 out of 5 stars
This was our book club's pick for the month of January. It was an interesting and
shocking read but nothing I would have picked up by myself! Glad I read it, though!
- Slumdog Millionaire: The Shooting Script
I had to read this one for school and due not not being the actual book (Q & A) I won't rate
this one.
But I did enjoy the movie!
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
2 out of 5 stars
Review and everything will follow soon!
- Purpurmond by Heike Eva Schmidt
3 out of 5 stars
Check out my review here!
- Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
4 out of 5 stars!
Review is here!
- Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
5 out of 5 stars!
Even though it's in the upper Haul picture and I said I would start with the books I've already owned,
it's a bit more difficult with this particular one. I got Vampire Academy for Christmas but because
it's cheaper to buy the box set than to buy every book separated, I have it twice now.
Review is here!
Next one is:
- The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
4 out of 5 stars and you can find my review here!
Two more books which I haven't bought this month or purchased myself!
- Alienated by Melissa Landers
somewhere between 3.5 and 4 out of 5 stars!
Check out my review: Alienated
- and These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
4 - 4.5 out of 5 stars!
You can find my review here!
Moving on to the books I've purchased myself and were included in the Haul waay up there!
I read:
- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
3 out of 5 stars
Did you know that there's an syndrome called Alice in Wonderland Syndrome?
Just found the article while searching for pictures!
- World After by Susan Ee
5 out of 5 stars! Loved, loved, loved it!
I've already uploaded a review on it. Check it out here!
- Fairest by Marissa Meyer
4 out of 5 stars
It just came today in the mail and I've already finished it! A really intersting read! Review will be
up soon!
- City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
3.5 out of 5 stars!
This one was a reread for me (if you count listening to the audiobook as reading) and I have to say
I enjoyed this way more than the first time round!
Review to come!
Here's a picutre of the whole Wrap Up! It's HUGE!
What was your favourite book of the month? Tell me in the comments!
It's hard for me to decide but I would go with either World After or Vampire Academy!
Did you have a least favourite book, too?
Here I would choose Slumdog Millionaire: The Shooting Script
Reading a movie is terrible and so confusing!
See you soon, guys, I have still a lot of reviews to post!
Stay funky!

UPDATE January 31st
Another book arrived in the mail today!
I got
- A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
I can't wait to read it! The summary on the spine reminds me of Mean Girls!
But to accomodate my number of bought and read books:
I've finished another one today!
- The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson
5 out of 5 stars
I loved, loved, loved this one!
It's an amazing books, you guys have to read it!
