I´m Back! + Book Haul

Hallihallo my dear friends

Since you may noticed that my posts and my reviews have been a bit rare in the last few weeks, I´m here to apologise for that, to tell and show you what was going on. I hope you can forgive me :)

The past week I was travelling Europe. I was staying in Dublin and did a lot of sightseeing (I was the cliche tourist with lots of bags and my camera around my neck all the time!). I visited a lot of libraries which were filled with books who date back to the 15th century, it was truly amazing. I even sat at the same table where Bram Stoker and James Joyce (!!!!!) did there reading *heavy breathing*. But I also bought a lot of books in the many bookshops Dublin has. 

So here is my Dublin Book Haul:

• Extraordinary Means by Robin Schneider
• Don´t Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski
• The Children Act by Ian McEvan
• Endgame - The Calling by James Frey
• Endgame - The Complete Training Diaries by James Frey
• Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour
• Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley
• The Girl On the Train by Paula Hawkins
• Vampire Academy 1-6 by Richelle Mead
• Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
• Amnesia by Peter Carey
• The Martian by Andy Weir
• All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
• Dracula by Bram Stoker

Before my trip to Dublin I celebrated my birthday, where I got also some books (and lots of gift cards to buy new books):

• The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
• To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

The weeks before that, I bought myself an e-Reader. During exam time. Shame on me! But because it is already filled with more than 100 books, I won´t bother to list them here.

Some long wanted books were also added to my shelf:

• Mind Games by Teri Terry
• Mindwalker by A.J. Steiger
• The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPreau
• Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Note: Mindwalker by A.J. Steiger was sent to me by one of my readers. Thanks again Sarah!

The Trip to Dublin was amazing and I hope that you have the chance to go there one day. Also, I hope The coming reviews will satisfy you enough to forgive me the lack of post the past weeks. I wish you a good time and reading. Let me know if you have any review wishes!

Love,

Book Haul - April 2015

I bought a few more books last month, even though I know there is not much more space available on my bookshelves. I try not to buy more books until I read through my TBR-pile...

These are the books I purchased:

• The Knife of never letting go by Patrick Ness
• A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
• Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
• Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
• Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
• Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkings

• The Winner´s Crime by Marie Rutoski
• The Diviners by Libba Bray

I just started reading Rebel Belle, but I am looking forward to reading all of these books. I´m very excited about the Throne of Glass Series!

I will try to write a review about all of them, but it may take a while. If you have any wishes which books I should read and review first (not just these, but the ones on my book list, too), let me know :)
