My third book is an small lovestory from a new swiss-german Autor. It is only in German yet. It is easy to read. Projekt Doha: Im Bann eines Landes, einer Stadt und eines Mannes.
My 4th book is a book, that won the Germanbookawoard 2020. It is a special book. Not extremly difficult to read. Annette, ein Heldinnenepos
My 5th book is a very new one. It is dificult but interesting. She is a swiss autor. Die nicht sterben

I've finished it, but I haven't understand everything. I need to read it a second time. I was in a groupread on lovelybook, where also the autor gives her explanation, and that was interesting. My review in german will follow this week. The reread I'll do in a month or so. So it is a good book. The story is i teresting and the stile of how Dana is written is extremly good. I like her language.

I'm wondering if it would be a good October read (what with the Vlad the Impaler content..)
My 6th book. Abschiedsfarben It is an collection from stories. They are not very dificult and mostly interesting.
My 7th book: Tod in Zeeland a nice book about a death in Holland.My 8th book: Staatsaffäre zwischen Bozen und Desenzano, was a very small but very good book about an affaire in Südtirol (the Tirol what is a part of Italie) It was her first book, and I can promise you, she can write! I hope she will write more books. The book is original in german.
My 9th book: Eurotrash, A roadmovie from Christian Kracht, with a lot of auto-biografic elements. You will see in this book a lot of nice swiss places. And the roadmovie is with his mother and so he want to get answers on his questions of better on all the things happend in his life of youth. The book is from a swiss writer.
My 10th book is Karst. It is a small book about 5 persons, all not very succesfull and all from different countries in eastern europe. There are 4 men and a woman. The end was for me unexpected. And the characters in the book ware for me very flat. The book is from an austrian writer.
So now I reaced the 10 books on my way to 20. But there are an other 7 months to go.
The 11. book is a very nice book about a relationschip between a young woman and an eldery woman, who is dement. They live together. I've learn a lot about dement-people. And I think the comunity can give them more as to "store" them in a house. Mein Leben mit Martha. The book is very nice written.The 12. book is a childrens klassiker, which you have to read. Das kleine Gespenst. I can highly recomended it.
I've read 2 books of Peter K. Wehrli (an older swiss autor), they are both not in Goodreads. Nr 13 is: "Katalog von 134 Beobachtungen während einer langen Eisenbahnfahrt", und Nr 14. " Albanien, Reise ins Europäische China". Both very small books. Nr. 15 is an book of an famous swiss autor with shortstories, that I can recomend you. Ein Feuer im Garten
That are 15 books in 7 months, also 20 will be realistic.
Nr. 16 is a book of a swiss autor, but a little bit boring. Not very interesting. BalgNr 17. was a much better book. Zwischen Ruhm und Ehre liegt die Nacht: Erzählungen. In this book Andrea tells a lot of different stories about her Tennislife and life beside of tennis. Also the stories are very good told. She kann beside of playing tennis, also writing very well.
