Top 5 Wednesday - Favorite Titles

   Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Lainey & Mindy. Check out the Goodreads page here!

   So this Wednesday is all about our favorite titles and, oh boy, there are some really amazing ones out there. Again, these are in no particular order, simply the five I like most.

   #1 The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay
   This title is perfect. Not only does it sounds really beautiful but it also fits the content of the book like no other title could. The book is very slow and beautifully thought out, just like this title. Each time I read it I have this mental image in front of my inner eye of just this peaceful lake at night. Love it!

   #2 The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
   I'm sure I'm totally original with this one but it's simply a really beautiful title.

   #3 Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
   This title sounds badass, so it's just like the book!

   #4 Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
   This title is super long but at the same title really perfect. Sometimes you just cannot sum up the awesomeness of a book with a short title, so you take a long one. Some people might hate it; I utterly love it, just like I love the book and the brilliant cover.

   #5 These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
   Again, this is a case of a perfectly fitting title. These stars are broken, oh just how broken they are.

Taylor Swift Book TAG

   Hey guys!
   I recorded this TAG a few days ago and finally came around to edit and upload it. I must admit I'm not the biggest fan or listener of Taylor Swift but this TAG was fun. PLUS I've never seen a TAG before which mixed music and books so props to the creator of this TAG.

   By the way, you who is watching this video, feel yourself tagged to do this video too if you want.

   Cheerio!

   And that's it for this post. Sorry that it's not as long as my usual Wrap Up's.

   Cheerio!

July Wrap Up

   So July kinda sucked in terms of reading. I mean, I only managed to read one book throughout an entire month! I don't even know how that just happened. I was doing a lot throughout July, which meant that I didn't have much time to read - like almost none at all. 
   I've been trying to read Isola by Isabel Albedi, which is a book in German, as I wanted to get back into reading books in German a little more, but ... we'll that somehow isn't happening. I used to only read in German and now I don't seem to be able to do it anymore. Somehow the language causes me to have extreme problems with getting into a story and that sucks. But, I won't give up and maybe I'll manage to finish it in August.
   Besides that, I'm reading like 30 pages of These Broken Stars every evening before sleeping, because that is the only time I get to read and I would love to read more because the book is awesome, but I'm just too tired. I also didn't get much writing done in July, despite winning Camp NaNoWriNo. But, I'm only like 2 chapters away from finishing We the Hunters, the sequel to Into the Unknown, which is really exciting. So, there is a chance I might get it done and ready for you buys before this year is over. Wouldn't that be awesome?
   Because I didn't get much reading done in July, I don't have any books that I could put up as Book of the Month. As Most Anticipated Read I would say Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, which I have heard none but great things from literally everybody, so I want to get to reading that one after I'm done with These Broken Stars.

Most Anticipated Read:
Anna and the French Kiss, despite
the title which would normally
cause me to avoid this book by
all means possible.

Books read:

•  Ereased by Margaret Chatwin [5 Stars]
  

Boocks acquired:

• Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
• Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
• Isola by Isabel Albedi
• These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
• Soul Screamers: Volume One by Rachel Vincent
• Die For Me by Amy Plum
• Soul Beach by Kate Harrison
• The DUFF by Kody Keplinger
• Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
• Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens

~ In Progress ~

• Isola by Isabel Albedi
• These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
• The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

   Anyway, this is it for my Wrap Up. I hope to get back into the reading game throughout August, especially because there are just too many awesome books out there that demand to be read.
   And that is all for my July Wrap Up!

   Cheers!
