Hey there :)I’m Carolin and I live in Germany. I just joined this group and am looking forward to challenging my TBR with you. I read basically any genre as long as it doesn’t get too cliche romantic or shallow.
Some of my favorite books would be The Nightingale, The Way of Kings, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The City of Dreaming Books
Random fact about me: I’m a “bad weather reader”, I love to snuggle up with a book when it’s cold and rainy outside and although I try to prevent it every year there are usually a few months during summer in which I don’t read at all.
