[WRAP-UP] My reading-month August

-




Hello again. It's been a while, but I will be more active again from now on.

And of course, because it's already September that means WRAP-UP-TIME😁

My reading month of August started really great, of course I haven't read much the last two weeks cause a friend was over, but none the less 5 Books and 2 I've started 👌


Books read

The Hobbit
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King

Author: J. R. R. Tolkien

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was such a wonderful experience to read this books again. Tolkien has such a beautiful way of storytelling, it's magical.


A trial of ice and blood 

Author: Alexander Lound (IG: @aloundauthor)

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great introduction into the series. Likeable characters and a fast paste story with a hughe cliff-hanger. I'm excited to continue.


Books started


The faithful and the fallen: Malice 

Author: John Gwynne

I'm nearly done and although the start was very slow and confusing, it get's really exciting after a while. And also great coming of age story and overall character-work!


Assassins Quest

Author: Robin Hobb

Because I needed something on audiobook, while doing other stuff and I was excited to finish the trilogy. Slowest start of the 3 books so far, but hopefully that will change soon.


💬QOTD: How was your reading month August?

Titel : The Eye of the World Reihe : The Wheel of Time Autor : Robert Jordan Verlag : Tor Books Erscheinungsdatum : 15.01.1990 (first) Seiten : 814 ISBN : 9780812511819 Inhalt The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time. The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. When The Two Rivers is attacked by Trollocs-a savage tribe of half-men, half-beasts- five villagers flee that night into a world they barely imagined, with new dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.

An uneasy peace reigns, but now giants stir once more, the very stones weep blood and there are sightings of gigantic worms. Those who can still read the signs see a prophecy realised: sorrow will darken the world, as angels and demons make it their battlefield.

And with their coming will be a war to end all wars. My opinion "
