Yeah. So, uh, it's been a while since my last book post, huh?

Mainly, this has been due to acute laziness in February (and freaking out about having to prepare for semi-moving to Munich for the new job) and work basically eating up my cognitive ressources in March and April. I really do like my job, like, a lot but the transition from being ( Read more... )

Ugh, once again, I skipped a month in my round-up and also am pretty late to the party for the December round-up. I also still haven't my my customary New Year's post about this year's projects but never fear, that is still on the agenda. I also already started one of those projects - keeping a bullet journal - and for those who don't follow me on ( Read more... )

Oops.

I know, I know, it's been ages since I posted the last book post. I kind of totally messed it up when I was at my sister's in mid-October. I'd planned to do the September Round-Up there but forgot to take my calendar (I note down the books for the month in the calendar) and then kind of kept reminding myself to do it but yeah, here we are. ( Read more... )

Okay, then. It's Sunday, I have nothing to do but watch travel documentaries on TV and be lazy in my pajamas, so it's a good time for posting my August reading list. It's not much (four books) but I'm getting closer to the fifty goal!

Let's just go ahead, then.

( We have romance and history and policy and fantasy and I really need to diversify my reading habits. )

Yay! Still really late but not as late as last time. That's gotta count for something, right?

Anyway, July was officially "Oh, hey, let's only read stuff written by women!" month (which is kinda stupid because that should have been March but then again, we really should have more than one Women's History Month a year!) and it worked pretty well. ( Read more... )

Ugh. UGH. It's the last day of July, and I finally can bring myself to do the June round-up for my reading challenge. I blame it on the heat and summer and basically the weather. It's been especially bad this year. Physically, I usually don't have a problem with heat (I don't have any cardiovascular problems, don't get dizzy spells or any other ( Read more... )

Oops. I kinda... almost... forgot about this? Or maybe I procrastinated it, that's possible, too. It would be stupid because it's just three books but okay, let's just you know go down to actually doing it and be done with it, too.

So, let's go!
( So, we have Marines and teenagers and war correspondents this month! )

Ugh, I suck. I've been meaning to post this for ages but somehow I always kept forgetting when I had the time. No I actually don't have the time (because I really need to send off at least two or three more job applications before the end of the month) so that's of course the perfect time to finally get around posting my really meagre book count ( Read more... )

Funny. I thought I was even more late than in March with last month's reading round-up but apparently, I posted the February round-up on March 6, so exactly a month ago. Figure that ( Read more... )

Okay, I've been, for some reason, really busy in February, reading wise. Not so much in other fields, mostly because a nasty cold laid me up for ten days (and it's still not really gone. There's a really persistent cough that just won't leave, and I'm going seriously stir crazy over not wanting to risk a relapse or worse and thus abstaining from ( Read more... )
