Katzi (katziliest) | 24 comments Looking good, so far :) 5 of 50 and its only January 23rd

Re-Reading the Harry Potter series is kind of helping..

Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think by was really interesting and it may have led to me being a little more aware of what I eat and trying to live healthier

Lob der Stiefmutter disappointed me a bit... maybe because I expected something different... I really like Mario Vargas Llosa, but this book left me unsatisfied... I may not be ready for such an odd topic

Fables, Vol. 10: The Good Prince - great fables issue, as always :) loved it!

Katzi (katziliest) | 24 comments 8 of 50 on January 31 - nice :D

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling was a rather funny and light read :) I really felt like listening to a friend, Mindy is a great and funny person and she doesn't try to hide her "flaws"

I struggle to count comics/graphic novels as books, but truth be told, they are :) they may be "easy reads" and also a great way to up the read-count.. But as I planned to read The Wicked + The Divine for ages, it's not like choosing the easy way
EDIT: for this challenge I'm going to count The Wicked+Divine as only one book

The Wicked + The Divine #1, The Wicked + The Divine #2 are a very great beginning for this comic series.. I love the topic of the gods...

Katzi (katziliest) | 24 comments As of March 5 we have 14 of 50

Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster is a great book, but it is upsetting and sad also. So much pain from a tragedy that could have been not prevented but at least handled better afterwards...
