Announcement: Blogmas 2015!

Montag, 30. November 2015

   It's almost December, a couple more hours, and that means many bloggers like me are getting ready. For what you ask? We are getting ready for the madness that is blogmas. What does that mean you ask? Well, it basically means that starting on December 1st until December 25th we will be posting stuff on a daily basis, much like vlogmas over on YouTube.
   As you guys know I've never done this before, which only makes me more excited to participate this year. I've only found out about blogmas yesterday, meaning that my brain currently trying to figure out all the things I could post about on overdrive, since I didn't have much time to prepare, but don't worry, I have lots of ideas.

   Among the things you can expect will be:
  • Waiting on Wedesnday
  • Cover Lust Friday
  • Ask the Author
  • Three or four giveaways (unfortunately the three main ones will be Germany only since the books are in German)
  • A couple of reviews and possibly recommendations.

   I'm working on planning out more fun things, but if you have any suggestions as to what you'd like to see, leave a comment below (no need to log in or anything) or tweet me @Alice_Reeds.
   To kick off blogmas on December 1st I will post review for "The Awakened" by Sara Elizabeth Santana, so get excited. I hope this is going to be a fun experience and you'll enjoy it just as much as I hopefully will. And wish me luck on actually making it, 25 posts in 25 days!

December Wrap Up

Freitag, 2. Januar 2015

   Hey guys!
   December is gone and I must admit it was yet another not very reading heavy month for me. I don't even understand why. I got so many books yet I couldn't really get myself to sit down and just read. But then again there was Christmas and New Year's Eve and all that fun stuff you spend with your family and friends, rather than with a book.
   Book of the Month is definitely The Martian by Andy Weir because it was just such a different and unique read unlike anything I have ever read before.

Books read:
  • Killing Sarai by J.D. Redmerski [5 Stars]
  • Zeznania Niekrytego Krytyka by Maciej Faczyk [5 Stars]
  • The Martian by Andy Weir [5 Pirate-Ninjas]
Books acquired:
  • Zeznania Kiekrytego Krytyka by Maciej Fraczyk
  • Let It Snow by John Green, Lauren Miracle and Maureen Johnson [Polish edition]
  • Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
  • The Clockwork Scarab by Colleen Gleason
  • Sins & Needles by Karina Halle
  • There is no Light in Darkness by Claire Contreras
  • Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
  • The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin [Hardcover]
  • Make up: Your Life Guide to Beauty, Style and Success Online and Offline by Michelle Phan
  • The Martian by Andy Weir
  • My True Love Gave To Me by 12 Authors
  • The Aftermath by Jen Alexander
  • Lovely, Deep and Dark by Amy McNamara
  • Across the Universe by Beth Revis
  • Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
  • The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
~ In Progress ~
  • The Aftermath by Jen Alexander [42%]
   And that is it. These are all the books I read and acquired in the last month of 2014. For 2015 I am hoping to read at least 55 books, simply because I managed 58 this year while having way less time then I will have in 2015 (probably). I hope to read more diverse books and break out of my usual reading comfort zone. Pick up more fantasy and also many something from the historical fiction genre. Let's be brave!

   Cheerio and have a good one!
