Currently Reading Fail 2.12.15 // Emile

Hallo meine Freunden!

(Just testing how rusty my German is).

Here I am today with an another account of how much I am failing at reading at the moment. I had to put Carry On down because I wasn't getting anywhere and decided to pick up Days of Blood and Starlight because it's a sequel which should make it easier to get into. I also really enjoyed the first book and am looking forward to seeing where this goes. I want so much to get rid of this slump before Christmas because the holidays are the perfect time for reading! (Can I just say for a moment: OH MY GOLLY GOSH IT'S DECEMBER ALREADY. Seriously what happened to the other eleven months?)

I am excited for a chance to write some festive themed posts as this is the first Christmas of the An Infinite Bookshelf family. It is a momentous occasion, so look out for some of them coming soon.

I thought it would be nice to incorporate a little "life update" into currently reading posts. I thought you guys might like to hear about my life. Maybe? Either way it will be a new part of currently reading posts. I am really stressed at the moment because of end of term exams at school. Tomorrow night I am going with my friends on a school trip to see the musical Jesus Christ Superstar which I'm really looking forward to apart from the fact that I won't get home until around 11 pm and then I have a maths test and a piano exam the next day! I will be really happy to get the piano over with though. Any of you who do music exams will know how much you end up hating your pieces after playing them over and over again for months.

Guten Nacht alle,

Hola!

(I thought we'd switch up the greeting every once in a while).

Here is my weekly currently reading post, and I have finished reading The Martian by Andy Weir! I actually put off writing this post until I had finished it. Overall, I really enjoyed it, although unfortunately due to be busy with school and at home I haven't had much time to read. So that's why it took me a bit longer. Nevertheless I'm glad that I read it. A review shall be coming up shortly.

I'm not entirely sure what to read next, however I'm pointing towards The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. A close friend and I decided that we both must read it this month, because we have both owned the book for a long time and have been looking forward to reading it; just haven't gotten around to it.

Another option is Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. I have been meaning to read this for a while as well.

Either way, I'll probably decide in the next ten minutes.

Goodnight,
Emile x
