15.8 In a Lifetime: finished The Pillars of the Earth and LOVED LOVED LOVED it! I had expected it to be somewhat slow, but it wasn't! The only reason it took me 11 days is because it's just so big (and reading about 100 pages per day is not always easy to fit into my schedule). Total points: 190

25.8 - I read True Love (and Other Lies) (love the cover) and Im Schatten der Königin (hate the cover - no English translation available). I can't say which was the better book since they operate on different scales for me. True Love was more or less what I expected - cheesy chick lit - with actually a nice ending, even though I wanted to rip the protagonist a new one in the middle part. The German one disappointed me, since I love the author. I found the crime investigation premise of the historical novel boring; but then again, I usually find crime/mystery-centred stories boring, so there's that.New Total: 350
