Bookoverview ~ August 2016

Since I changed the design of my Blog a bit, I thought I could also change the design of my overviews, too. The concept will stay the same, but I'll focus some more on the layout and the short information that I'll give you about the books.

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon + Storytime: The "Job Interview"

Today I'll share with you my experience with the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon and how my reading went this week. First of all, I've got to admit, that I didn't read as much as I wanted to. - I wanted to finish The High Lord by Trudi Canavan the day before Bout of Books started. That didn't happen. So I read the last 250 pages I had left on day one. (Review >>) Also I wanted to read the whole The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien, but I only read halfway through book one.

This was about the most unsuccessful week of reading I ever had this year. But I have a quite fun and pretty odd story to tell you:

Review: The Black Magician Trilogy ~ Trudi Canavan

The Black Magician Trilogy is Trudi Canavan's first trilogy. It follows a girl named Sonea, who lives in the slums of Imardin. One day she discovers her magical potential and wizards start to hunt her down to force her to join the Magician's Guild. Sonea tries to stay hidden with the help of her friend Cery and the Thieves, who rule over the underground of the slums.

The Fifty Bookish Questions Tag

Hello, and welcome to my first weekly blog! Here I'll post a weekly discussion, TAG or just a view into my reading and my life. The entries will be posted ever Sunday.

Today I'll be doing the Fifty Bookish Questions book tag. I found this tag on mylittlebookblog's blog. So let's get started!

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon TBR

I decided to participate in the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon next week from Monday to Sunday! The Bout of Books Read-a-Thon is a "low pressure" read-a-thon with no competition between the readers because you schedule yourself how many books you want to read in that certain week. Since I'm on holiday I've got the time to read quite a lot lately, so I thought it might be fun to participate.

One of my main goals this year is the read the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien so finishing these books will be my main goal for next week. The only problem I'll have is that I won't be able to read much on Saturday and Sunday because I'm at a LAN-party, gaming with my friends.
I'll keep you updated on my progress on my Twitter. - I'm not a Twitter person, so we'll see how that will work ...
