Since I don't have that much time to read in combination with my teaching job, I fear I will not be able to read all of these but I will be happy to have read half of them.

I've heard nothing but great things and I'm so excited to read this one!

I haven't read any Robin Hobb yet this year and I hoping I can still read it before the end of 2018. Not too optimistic, though.

3. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak 

Another book I hope to read before the end of the year. We'll see how it goes.

4. Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor #1) by Mark Lawrence

Very excited to read this!

5. Muse of Nightmares (Strange the Dreamer #2) by Laini Taylor 

Loved Strange the Dreamer, so I both happy and nervous to read the sequel.

6. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

7. Bloody Rose (The Band #2) by Nicholas Eames

Kings of the Wyld was one of my favourite fantasy books this year.

8. All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries #1) by Martha Wells

I might not be able to wait until winter to read this :)

9. Lethal White (Cormoran Strike #4) by Robert Galbraith

10. A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

I have an e-arc of this book but I just have too much trouble reading a pdf-file, so I'll purchase the book when it's released and I will read and review it then.

What are you planning to read this winter?

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Bingeworthy TV Shows

Let's start with some Korean drama. 

1. What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?

This is a very cute romance Korean drama. 

2. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon

I loved this because it plays with gender roles.

My two favourite Spanish shows at the moment:

3. La Casa de Papel

A group of criminals plan to commit the perfect heist. I was constantly on the edge of my seat!

4. Las Chicas del Cable

A romantic historical series, the third season comes out on Friday.


5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

A classic I can't get enough of!

6. Firefly

This is an amazing sci-fi series that should have had multiple seasons but I still really recommend the first one!

7. Sense8

Another series that should have had more seasons but I finished each season in three days. It is amazing and so diverse!

8. Sherlock 

I do not need to explain how brilliant this show is, do I?

9. Stranger Things

I can't wait to watch the next season!

10. Godless

A feminist cowboy series that blew me away! A must-see!

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books to Pull You Out of a Reading Slump

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme  which was previously hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week bloggers post their top ten on a previously suggested topic. This week's topic is Ten Books to Pull You Out of a Reading Slump. When I scrolled back I noticed it's my first Top Ten Tuesday post this year, it's about time I got back to it because I missed this!

(image belongs to That Artsy Reader Girl)

As I am currently in a reading I may need to pick one of these to read as well. Usually, I just watch Netflix or read a totally different genre to get out of the slump, but for now I am content to continue watching Kdrama until things calm down a little.

These are my top ten books to get you out of a reading slump!

Let's start with some comics!

1. Giant Days by John Allison

I often reach for a comic when I feel like I'm in a slump. Changing genres or formats can help me a lot.

2. I Hate Fairyland by Skottie Young

3. Adulthood Is a Myth by Sarah Andersen

This is a collection of comics and some of them are about books and reading. 

Now, I also tend to reach for romance novels when I'm in a reading slump because they are usually fun, easy to read and short.

4. The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

This is one of my favourite books ever, can't wait to reread this for the fifth time!

5. Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Creekwood #1) by Becky Albertalli 

This was such a fun read! I also really recommend the movie!

6. Geekerella by Ashley Poston

A fun Cinderella retelling about a convention and cosplay.

Sci-fi and fantasy books:

7. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

This is one of my favourite young adult sci-fi series! There are four books, one novella and two comics in this series! My favourite is still Cress, though!

8. Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

This story is told through a collection of documents which makes you fly through it in no time!

9. A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic #1) by V.E. Schwab

This is a fantastic fantasy series! Can't wait to see how the story continues in the comics!

10. Starflight by Melissa Landers 

I couldn't put this book down when I first read it. I was hooked from page one!
