Sparrowlicious’s comments from the Read by Theme group.

How red does it have to be? I got this one, it's mostly red:

I admit, it's a workbook and I once started reading it and stopped. The thing is, it's pretty annoying how the author tells the reader about praying to some outside creative source, which I think is really ridiculous. But some exercises seem good.
I might as well finish reading it, just not one chapter a week.

Hopefully! I really look forward to reading this book. :)

Finished it. Well, that was nice. :) I really liked the concepts in this book.

I guess my book for this month will be because it only has 45 ratings. Rather obscure, huh?
I only know about it because Lynn Flewelling wrote a short story for it (Flewelling wrote the Nightrunner series - some of my favourite books!)

I discovered that also seems to count as dystopian and since I'm currently reading it: well, there goes my book for the May theme. :D

I guess I'll trust the goodreads shelves on this one:
Seems like is the only dystopian book I have at home right now so I'll go with that one.

I admit it became more of a rant. *sigh* My best guess is that the book lacks some major editing.

I'm currently reading it, somehwere about 350 pages into the book.

This is different from what I expected. I'll write a post about it on my book blog, if you're interested (it's just me blabbing about books I like, nothing big).

Edit: Done reading it.
I should've known not to have any expectations anymore when it comes to books. That only ends badly.
Anyway, you'll find the link to my blog in my profile. Let's just say this was a huge mess that should've needed less pages and more subplot.

Well, there's both Graceling and Choke on my physical 'to read' shelf, so I'll go with one of those.

I recently got myself The Hunger Games. Maybe I manage reading it this month. :)
Although I already read the entire Harry Potter series I still got the first book on my physical 'to-read' shelf (I read the series in German so far, this book though is in English, so this is sort of... rereading but not really)

Edit: Currently reading The Hunger Games!

Hello party people!

I'm just a 25-year old Austrian woman who likes to read stuff. Well. Usually books in English because of various reasons (the most important first: translations are only as good as the translator - since my English is good enough I don't need them. Also, German translations usually cost 150 % more than the English original. Wow.)
I'm not very picky about genres as long as it's an interesting book. I usually stay away from most romance novels though. It just isn't my genre. I'm okay with romance that sort of happens in a story but isn't the main plot though.
Oh by the way, I only got back into reading in 2010/2011. I read a lot when I was a kid but when I was a teen that somehow wasn't the case. I rediscovered my love for books though since I live at my own place. :')
I have to catch up with a lot of books and book series. Like, I seriously need to read more Discworld novels.
