Top 5 books you read this year | T5W

This isn't a very accurate list because these are like half of the books i've read this year. But I can still place them in a order of wich I liked the most!

5. The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

I heard this is the first book of a new 7(!) books series. Maybe that was the main reason I wanted to read this book. Isn't it great to read a series directly when it comes out?? But when I read it I also really liked it. I read that a lot of people found the information dump to much, but for me it was okay. It's the first book in a long sci-fi series and then you can expect that you get a lot of information about a new world.

4, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I read this book ones in French class and I was really intrigued by it then already. Now a few years later my French still isn't that great (read: it's very bad..) so I picked this one up in English. It was a very easy read and lookes like a nice children book, but there's also a lot of philosophy behind the story and that's very interesting!

3. Before I Die by Jenny Downham (in Dutch)
I love how raw and real this book is. It's a story about a girl who know that she doesn't have long to live anymore, so she makes a list of the things she really wants to do and does as much of them as fast as possible. After I finish writing this post I'm going to watch the movie (named Now is Good)!

2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
Nothing so say about the last two, just pure awesomeness!

1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling

Bookish resolutions 2015

2014 is almost over. The beginning of the year always moves slowly: the holiday season had gotten to an end and you've got to get back to work. But the last few months of the year fly by! When I talk about my reading rithm this year I can say the same: in January I read a couple of books with a lot of pushing myself to sit down and read. But in November and December I read more than double the books I read in the first months of 2014, and with much more joy. Between the first and the last two months of 2014 I almost didn't touch any book to my regret. I just didn't take the time to sit down and read, watching movies was much more easier. I've always loved to read, so to get to more books next year I set myself some challenges.
