📚Newest bookish addition 📚
.
Hello Bookstagram 🥰 I’ve recently finished a book in the Shadowhunterworld by Cassandra Clare and I absolutely want to keep up with this series. Seriously, why did I start so late with my journey?! Shame on me!
.
But to redeem myself in my own eyes, I’ve bought another book in the series. This is more of a companion novel and I’m so thrilled to read it (hopefully) soon 🤭
.
📖 Book featured:
- The Bane Chronicles by @cassandraclare1 @sarahreesbrennan @maureenjohnsonbooks @simonandschuster

Hello Bookstagram 🥰 This post will be in 🇩🇪 only as it’s a german reading copy that I received when I was still a bookseller a few months ago.
.
Vor ein paar Minuten hab ich “Honesty” von Franzi Kopka gelesen und WTF 😳 ich hab dieses Buch so gesuchtet und einfach nicht genug davon bekommen!
Wir befinden uns in einer Welt, in der Lügen der Vergangenheit angehören und jeder nur die Wahrheit sagt. Emotionen werden ebenfalls nicht mehr geduldet, bzw. nur jene die einen unbedacht handeln lassen. Allerdings empfindet unsere Protagonistin Mae leider auch jene Emotionen welche sie eigentlich gar nicht mehr fühlen dürfte. So versucht Mae so gut sie kann nicht aufzufallen und vor allem nicht aufzufliegen, denn ihr Geheimnis ist lebensgefährlich. Wäre da nur nicht dieser attraktive Typ, der sie jedes Mal zur Weißglut bringt.
.
💭 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ und mein absoluter Highlight des Monats
.
📚 Gezeigte Buch:
- Honesty von Franzi Kopka @sfischerverlage
.
Das Buch ist am 28.02.2024 im Sauerländer Verlag erschienen also auf was warter ihr noch? Ihr müsst dieses Buch einfach lesen. Vor allem dieser Cliffhänger wird mich in den Wahnsinn treiben, weil es den 2.Band noch nicht gibt 😭 Deswegen will ich nicht alleine leiden müssen 😂

📚How to solve your own Murder📚

Hello bookstagram and happy new year! 🥳 Today I finished my first book of the year and let me say this I didn’t manage to find out who the real murderer was until it all made sense. So I’m still under shock about this information 😂 Which also means that the athor managed to get me hooked until the very end. Book 2 has already been ordered at my favorite bookstore so can’t wait to read what’s next in Castle Knoll 🤭

Thanks to my secret santa at work for this great pick! This book really managed to keep me entertained during these past few days of festive season.

Hello #bookstagram 🥰
.
How are we doing today? I just finished the second book in the Dreamland Billionaires series and I quite enjoyed my reading journey 😍
.
The first book in this trilogy will still be my favourite 🤩 I just loved Rowan and Zahra are just my fave bookish couple! However, I must say that Declan and Iris aren’t too bad either. I especially loved their banter and how they got in this mess in the first place 😆 Let’s start the third book ASAP.

Today I’m back with a bookish review as you can see above 🥰 I had lots of fun reading this book and really enjoyed my time.
.
💭 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Taste of Limoncello was such an addictive read. It’s told in dual POV and tells us how Ava and Dax really feel, especially about each other 😜

This story strikes a nice balance between sweet and spicy and you can really feel the tension between our two MCs. As the story was partially set in Italy, the author also managed to make the whole reading experience feel like an escape from reality.

If you’re looking for something that’s sweet and spicy at the same time I can only recommend reading « A taste of Limoncello » 🍋

📚 What to expect:
🍷Workplace Romance
🍋One Bed
🍷Friends to Lovers

Ce que les étoiles doivent à la nuit de Anne-Gaëlle Huon @editionsalbinmichel
.
💭Comme prévu, ce livre est devenu un vrai coup de cœur ❤️
Je ne savais pas que c’était la suite d’un autre livre de l’autrice, mais pour être honnête, je n’ai pas eu de difficulté à suivre l’histoire, puisqu’il met en avant un autre personnage principal.

J’ai beaucoup aimé les différents points de vue, ainsi que les timelines alternatives. Cette histoire est vraiment émouvante, entre les hauts et les bas que traversent Liz et les autres personnages de « Ce que les étoiles doivent à la nuit ».

Je ne voulais même pas que cette belle histoire s’arrête, tant j’ai aimé découvrir le parcours de Liz et la voir évoluer ✨

Dommage que je n’aie pas pu goûter ce qu’elle a préparé tout au long de l’histoire 😜

Happy Sunday, Bookstagram 🥰 . I’m officially back

Happy Sunday, Bookstagram 🥰
.
I’m officially back from my Amsterdam City trip, so it’s time to show you my read on this journey. On my train ride, I read the first book of the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn, and I immensely enjoyed my time. For those of you who know me personally, you probably know that I loved the TV adaptation with Shonda Rhimes as an executive producer, and I seriously can’t get enough of the Bridgerton Family😅
.
So, in this 1st book, we follow Daphne Bridgerton, the oldest girl in the family and the fourth child. She meets her brother’s best friend, Duke Simon Basset, and there is a spark between these two, even though it’s forbidden terrain. Simon made a promise to Daphne’s brother not to touch her, and he made a vow to himself to never get married. However, as the single young women on the ton want to become a duchess or, to be more precise, their mothers want this life for them, he needs an exit route soon. Daphne, on the other hand, doesn’t want to get married to a man of the ton who she won’t be able to love, and soon they decide to make a pact to fake their “relationship”. We all know by now that this arrangement will not work well, which means a lot of drama. And we are here for the drama! 😄
.
I especially love the relationship between the Bridgerton siblings, their witty banter and how everyone has each other's back. The relationship between Daphne and Simon is also exceptional, even though, towards the end, we’ve reached a very problematic passage, which is why this book wasn’t a 5-star read for me. However, the writing style was fluid, and I flew through the story. It was delightful to read, and if you are a fan of the TV show, you have to try this first book.

Hello Bookstagram 🥰 and I wish you all a happy new year!

Today I finished the second book in the “Twisted” series by Ana Huang and os far it’s definitely my favourite book in the series 😍
.
However with this book (same goes for all of the other ones) you need to pay attention to the trigger warnings. So if you’re triggered by child abuse and/or drug use (just to name a few) you have to be aware that those topics are mentioned in the book and not only once!
