Retrospect #54-55: January 19

January 19, 2015

Popsugar Reading Challenge TBRThe busiest period at work probably is the time when you return from vacation. Everything piles up when you’re gone, so I spent the past two weeks catching up. Despite that, I still managed to get some reading in, so that’s good.

Keeping Track of Series

January 17, 2015

Keeping track of series
When it came to series, I was convinced that I was in the midst of five or maybe six of them but surely no more than ten. This week I found out that I was way off the mark with my estimations. The current tally is a grand total of 24. I found out because I decided I had to come up with a system to track them and so set out to do up a spreadsheet.

Book Cover Culture #8: Ruby Red

January 15, 2015

German and US book covers of Rubinrot or Ruby Red by Kerstin GierRuby Red is a book I that I listened to in German because I wanted to try out the audiobook function in the Onleihe app using my iPhone. The thing with Onleihe is that audiobooks can only be downloaded on Windows because the files are WMA.

CINDER (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer

January 13, 2015

Audiobook cover of CINDER by Marissa Meyer narrated by Rebecca SolerCinder wasn’t technically on the list of books I wanted to read. Sure, I had seen bloggers rave about The Lunar Chronicles but somehow I let all that excitement pass me by. Big mistake! Cinder was wonderful!

FANGIRL by Rainbow Rowell

January 10, 2015

Book cover of FANGIRL by Rainbow RowellFangirl was funny and sweet and wonderful. What I liked best was the college setting without an intense focus on romance. This book was about Cath who tried to find herself, even though she felt she was losing everything. She so desperately tried to hold on to familiarity through her high school boyfriend, her father and most importantly to her, her twin sister Wren. For the first time, she had to be truly independent. I believe that for many, college is the time to find oneself and Rowell presented this transition very well in Fangirl.
