I’m sure you can Alice! Are you joining any of the challenges or maybe some group/buddy reads to help you reach your goal?
Wishing you the best of luck & happy reading!

Good Luck with your goal in 2018!

Good luck with your goal!

How do I start?
Well... its better then the movie.
But nothing really happend! I think this book is more for People who like to think after they finished reading.

writing style: 3/5
characters: 2/5
action: 2/5
ending: 3/5

(view spoiler)[Let me just say I hate Mae and she ruined the book for me. Why? Because she is just so stupid and selfish and you will see what I mean when you read the book. (The ending made me hate her more) (hide spoiler)]

Mmm, not for me then.... :(

Good luck with your goal Alice. Thirty books is my goal for the year as well. I have already finished one book.

I picked up this book because I tought it would be interesting and it sure was!
Every character is important and unique. The writing style is very good and I would recommend it to everyone who likes dark Storys and emotions!

writing style: 5/5

My mom gave me this book because she wanted me to read hystorical Storys too and i have to say, I hate hystorcial and crime books! BUT this book is so awsome I love this book and I love Tom!
The Ending is the only reason I gave this 4 stars

writing style: 4/5
characters: 4/5
Action: 5/5
ending: 2/5

Here is why I hate this ending: (view spoiler)[I love happy ending but this is so unrealystic! I mean Sir Stonehouse hates him and just because he said he is a Stonehouse infront of some people , they are best frinds like nothing happend? (hide spoiler)]

Good luck and have fun with your reading goal

I love this book series and I love this book! I liked that it was fast but not too fast and I really loved the Story Progress. I still dont like Peeter and I hoped I would like him in this book more...

Fantastic Progress Alice! Everyone has such different opinions on The Circle I will have to give it a read this year!

Again Brandon Sanderson leavs me to shock with his awsome endings! This book was more on the politic Fantasy side which I dont like but it was so well writen that it was fun! (And I love Elend!)

characters: 5/5
action: 4.5/5
ending: 5/5 (Again the plot twist!)

★★★★★

The ending.... Im not a person who cries about books or movies so when I read the ending I was so in shock (and still am) that I cant begin to start Clockwork Angel. I loved the book so much and evrything made so much sense! But the ending... (Still love Elend and Spook!)

I really thought I would hate Cassandre Clares books because when I read the back of the book its sounds so cliche but then I read it and it was so good! Really fun read with a lot of feels. I just gave it 4 stars because I dont like Tessa Gray because she is so whiny. ( I hope Tessa and Jem come together :D )

Do you have any favorites from this year?"

So far I really enjoyed The Final Empire and would recomend to anyone who loves fantasy but the year is still young so I hope I will find more books I will enjoy!

★★★★★

A lot of People say that it was too fast and they wished it was longer but i thought it was awsome the way it is! A great ending, a lot of Action and a lot of deaths... I read the german edition which was about 100 pages longer so maybe it was not to fast in german then it was in english?

writing style: 5/5
characters: 5/5 (I enjoyed Peeter so much more in this book)

Greasy books that is fantastic LOL

A book is a dream that you hold in your hand. I hope that April brings you many more five star reads.

★★★★ (4.5 Stars)

Let me say that I dont hate Tessa anymore. Cassandra Clare really fixed her character... in the second half of the book. In the second half of the book she notices how annoying she is and actually shuts her mouth (I also really liked Will in this book). I really enjoyed this book but i coudnt give it 5 stars because of the first half of the book.

writing style : 5/5
characters: 4/5 (first half) 5/5 (second half)
action: 5/5
ending: 4.5/5

(view spoiler)[Has anyone noticed how many times anyone gets interrupted in this book if they want so say something important and then they forget it :D Btw I feel sorry for Will :( (hide spoiler)]

“Reading brings us unknown friends” While the warm weather is coming I hope you make some new friends in May! You are doing great keep it up!

★★★★★

I knew this was a 5 stars because since the first page a lot was happening. Everyone was great and I loved all of them especially Will and Tessa and the Lightwood brothers! The ending was as amazing as the series and I would recomend this series for anyone who loves a little more romance then fantasy!

writing style: 5/5
characters: 5/5
action: 4.75/5
ending: 5/5

(view spoiler)[I loved how Cassandra Clare managed this love triangle!That both got Tessa and neither were sad or upset! (hide spoiler)]

“I have always imagined paradise will be a kind of library.” I hope you find a corner in Paradise with some great books!!

★★★★

So this took me long enough... Anyway, this book for me was quite disappointing. I loved the characters like everyone else already said but my biggest problem is that it told sometimes these big side storeys that are not imported to the story and are only mentioned once. And again it should be full of nostalgia but I am not born in the 50thes or in the US so a lot of things were confusing for me. The only reason that this got 4 stars for me was because of the ending and the characters.

writing style: 3.75/5
characters: 5/5
action: 4/5
ending: 5/5 (i cried and was amazed at the same time)

What I wanted to add is that I'm not really scared of Stephen King's books but more interested by them. I'm more scared by disgusting stuff like I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream . So if your reading my reviews for books like Stephen King please don't expect that I mention the scariness

★★★★★

Since I was small I always enjoyed fairy tails and this book was kinda nostalgic for me. I really liked this book in every espect. The writing was beautiful and the characters were so real. I have to say for a middle-grade book it is very gory and dark. All in all, I recommend it to everyone who enjoys fairy tails :)

writing style:5/5
characters: 5/5
action: 5/5
ending: 4.5/5

(view spoiler)[I just wanted to add that I liked Agatha more than Sophie and in the book, it is descript that Agatha can fulfill other peoples wishes so why didn't just Sophie wish that they could be back home? (hide spoiler)]

You are on your way to having a great year in books! Do you have a book you still can't wait to read?
