Another good book i recently read and i wanted to share! And keep the momentum going i seemed to have going right now, with pretty regular uploading. (GO ME!)

Everyone that watches booktube or looks at Book Blogs will get a bucket ton full of book recommendations. And lets face it a huge amount of them sound FANTASTIC! Because if someone raves about a book they enjoyed and loved? And they are able to make it sound good, I at least fall into the trap of thinking that YES I HAVE TO READ THAT. Even if i would never pick that book up normally. I mentioned that already in my Goals for 2018 video i posted earlier this month, mentioning that i will not be reading a huge amount of the "hyped" books because after reading a lot of them in 2017 and noticing that i had one of the most mediocre reading years - ever basically. I would focus more on  what i actually want to read and enjoy reading. And having said that yet again, let me explain this post and video. All 6 of those books i talk about in the video -and mention in a second here- are books i actually am really interested in. Some of them i already wanted to read before

There are always Goals for everyone of us at the beginning of each year. In previous year i was really ambitious. This year i tried to be more realistic and decided on "only" four books that I absolutely want to, hope to, MUST read in 2018! -  Luminaries: https://goo.gl/9fnUpm - 4321: https://goo.gl/H4QLKn - A Little Life: https://goo.gl/ZVD19C - the Swarm: https://goo.gl/mnyvQ5 (Der Schwarm: https://goo.gl/SHTjFM )  Do you have a specific list of books you want to/ have to/ must read in 2018?  Let me know! Lets chat! Until later, beautiful book people!
