Aww I hope you feel better soon!

You know I thought "The Merciless" was gonna be a Standalone. Then I saw it was gonna be a series and have just been putting off reading it. How do you like the series so far?

Aww That sucks. Maybe Try rereading a Favorite or just Binge-watching a show? Sometimes that works for me or just not following my TBR what so ever!

I hope you get your reading Mojo back soon!

Yay I'm glad that you enjoyed the theme. I swear a lot of books are marked Mystery and that just gave me some leeway so I read a lot last week Lol

I have The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin on my Never Ending Wish List. Did you end up finishing it this week? Did you like it?

Happy Reading :)

I loved het schooltje van Auschwitz. it is such a surreal period in time, how we just put people in camps, separated, without proper food, drink and hygiene. It was a beautiful but sad story.

No I normally don't really care about the page count at the end of the year, but it is fun to see what I can do if I put my mind to it with a readathon.

For now I'm doing well with the devour your TBR readathon.
Yesterday I finished Carry on by Rainbow Rowell, and continued with de teruggekeerden.

As I'm at home with the flu I'm able to read a bit more as normally.

The Merciless is kinda one of those I'm just not sure it needed to be a series. It was totally fine but Im not hooked. Only reason I'm not donating the series to the library once I finish them is that the book spines are pretty xD So vain
I would say that out of book 1 and 2 the first is better than the second
