I have a sin to confess. - I was book-shopping.

I walked past my local bookstore and my head just said to me: "Hey, you can just have a look at all the new books without buying one!" And I failed.

TBR-Killer: Update #3

For not seeing Mangas as real books I have to set up a new rule: For every Manga series (Can you call them series?) I finish I only get the points for finishing a series. - I'm never going to get points for reading Fairy Tail or Conan ...

TBR-Killer-Score: 4

Blurb:

Harry Potter is furious that he is stuck at the Dursleys’ house for the summer, when he suspects that Voldemort is gathering an army, and the wizarding authorities seem unwilling to do anything. Harry’s so-called friends are trying to keep him in the dark. But he knows that Voldemort’s forces can find him wherever he is; he could be attacked at any moment. Harry is finally rescued from Privet Drive by members of the Order of the Phoenix – a secret society first formed years ago to fight Voldemort – and discovers that maybe he is not alone in this battle after all.

TBR-Killer: Update #2

Finally finished the 5th Harry Potter book yesterday! *party* - And until now I was able to resist the pressure of not buying new books. (But I still really want to have the last book of Poison Princess ...)

Also I now will walk past a bookstore every day of the week now that my semester begun. So my brain says to me everyday: "You can just walk in there, buy some books. - Nobody will know!"

Bookoverview ~ September

Hello and welcome to my first "Bookoverview"! - Here I'm going to show you every month, what books I read and bought this month and how my reading challenge is going. Also I will show you my current score on my TBR-Killer-Challenge.

1. Books I bought this month: 2
2. Books I got this month: 3
3. Books I read this month: 5

Most of the books I bought and read this month won't effect my score of my TBR-Killer-Challenge, because I bought and read them before I started the challenge!
TBR-Killer-Score: 1

Also, I'm going to start writing reviews about the books I read. - These will be in the language I read the book, so a lot of them will be in German.

The Bookoverview is just a short representation about the books I read. In the future I'm going to put the links to the full review of the books at the end of each short review.

Emoji-Bookmarks

I made some new bookmarks, inspired by the WhatsApp Emoji's and one of my favourite Zentangle patterns.

(Sorry for the bad quality of the photo ... my dad stole my camera and my smartphones camera isn't that good. - He said, he will give it back on friday ...)

TBR-Killer: Update #1

So currently I'm kind of struggling to not buy any book. (Yes, it's day two of the Challenge and I'm already dying!)

I recently started reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson and I love this book so much so far. His writing style is amazing and I'm struggling not to run to my local bookstore to buy his other two books.

TBR-Killer-Challenge

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Since I have so many books that are on my TBR shelf I wanted to make myself a challenge, to start reading them and stop buying new books every month.
Currently there are 52 books on my TBR shelf and 86 books on my TBR list on Goodreads! - And I keep buying new ones!

So I'm going to set myself a challenge:

Arting Challenge ~ Day 11: Draw your OC cosplaying your favourite anime character ~

Now you can see, that I suck at drawing haircuts ...

Arting Challenge ~ Day 10: Draw your OC in armor ~

I kind of don't know what to say about this, but I really suck at drawing helmets, hats or even haircuts (as you will see on Wednesday).

Arting Challenge ~ Day 9: Draw your favourite season in human form ~

My favourite season: Autumn!

Zentangle: Black Cat

This Tangle took me about 3 1/2 hours to draw.

Arting Challenge ~ Day 8: Draw a mythical creature in human form ~

Because I really like unicorns, I drew one. ^^

Arting Challenge ~ Day 7: Draw yourself in anime form ~

So, because I can't draw manga characters, I decided to draw myself in cubic form.

Arting Challenge ~ Day 6: Draw your OC in the opposite gender ~

So Peaches is now Pea for today.

Recipe: Banana Colada Popsicles

You want to make some easy and healthy popsicles for the hot days in summer? - Here is an easy DIY for you!

I found this DIY on Pinterest.

Arting Challenge ~ Day 5: Draw your OC in any type of uniform ~

I don't know, if you can call a maid dress 'uniform', but I think it fits Peaches pretty well.

Arting Challenge ~ Day 4: Draw something cute ~

Peaches got a new ice-cream!

Arting Challenge ~ Day 3: Draw your OC crying ~

Third day of the Arting Challenge: Draw your OC crying.

DIY: Doodle Watering Can

You are bored of tedious tasteless watering cans? - Why don't you pimp up your can with your own fresh design! It isn't just easy to do, it also won't cost you more than 5 €.

Arting Challenge ~ Day 2: Draw something scary ~

Second day of my arting challenge: The goals was to draw something scary.

Arting Challenge ~ Day 1: Draw your OC blushing ~

My little sister inspired me to do an 'arting challenge' together with her.
