My May Wrap-Up

Image
So, it is the last day in the month of May and I decided to share my thoughts and opinions on the books I have read during these past few weeks. :) I have read a total of seven books and I´m quite proud of that to be honest because I think I have never read that many books in such a short period of time. But without further ado, let´s get started: 1: "Hyperbole and a Half" by Allie Brosh This autobiographical book tells about the life of Allie Brosh, who is also running the name-giving blog “Hyperbole and a Half”. http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.de/ Using funny cartoons and a really good writing style Allie Brosh tells the funniest stories of her life. The reader will be crying while laughing about the simple dog, letters to her past selves and the attack of a goose. She combines hilarious and serious stories and I can only recommend this book to anyone who likes to have a good laugh.  One of my two favourite books of this month! I give it 5 out of ...

"Cinder" *Spoiler free* Book Review

Image
Hello everyone!  So, long time, no see! I know I´ve been a bit lazy but I am back again and I hope I´m going to post more frequently. At least that´s what I´m trying to do. :) Anyway, so almost a whole year has passed since my last blog post and I have done a lot of reading during that time. My most recent read was " The Lunar Chronicles " series by Marissa Meyer which this post is about. And I have to say I am absolutely obsessed with it. So without further ado let´s get started. "The Lunar Chronicles" by author Marissa Meyer is a series of different fairytale re-tellings which all take place in a futuristic world. The story begins with the first book "Cinder" (a re-telling of the classic fairytale " Cinderella ") and we follow the name- giving character Cinder, who is the best mechanic in New Beijing... And also a cyborg, which is why her stepmother and one of her two stepsisters are not treating her very well. One day Crown-Prince Kait...

Book Haul- Spring 2015

Image
Hello everyone! This blog post will be my first ever book haul . :) *how exciting* :P I love books and reading and I need a parallel universe where I have got the time to read all the books I want to read. Everyone who enjoys reading as much as I do understands my struggle... so many books and so little time. *sigh* But let´s get started on the books I have purchased recently. So, here we go: First of all as you all know I went to "Sherlocked- The Official Sherlock Convention" in April and I couldn´t resist to buy a lot of stuff at the BBC Shop they had there. So, besides other things I bought all the Sherlock Holmes books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that I didn´t already own. They are all in the new edition with Covers from the TV Series as well as introductions by the Cast and Crew. I really like how they look and I am certainly looking forward to finally reading the original Sherlock Holmes stories. (Yes, I know, it´s shocking that I as a big Sherlock Fan ...

Exciting Things in April 2015

Image
"I am SHERLOCKED" Hi there everyone! So, today I thought I would write about something very exciting that happened to me last month. I can´t remember when or how I got to know about it (I´m pretty sure though I saw a post on facebook or something) but at the beginning of this year I found out that on 24th to 26th April 2015 there would be a Sherlock Convention in London. For those of you who are not familiar with Sherlock (which I would be shocked about ;P): In 2010 Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss came to the fantastic idea of creating a new TV Show about the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr. John Watson but with a twist: The new series would take place in the modern day. They figured that all the stories about the super sleuth could be perfectly adapted to the present. When I first heard about that I was a bit confused and I must admit I thought `Sherlock Holmes in present London? That can never work´. Oh, how wrong I was! Ever si...

My very first Blog Post

Image
Hello everyone! So, this is my very first blog post on my new blog "L ife of a Fangirl" . I´ve been watching a lot of YouTube Videos lately and discovered that many YouTubers also have a blog. Since last year I´ve been thinking about making my own YouTube Channel but at the moment I don´t feel confident enough to sit in front of a camera and talk so everyone can see me. But I still want to share my experiences and thoughts with the world and the easiest way to do so is starting a blog which I am very excited about. So, what is this blog about? , you may ask. Well, first of all I don´t have any rules regarding posts on this blog. I will post about my daily life. I want to tell funny stories, share my thoughts about health and lifestyle, give book, movie and games reviews and talk about my obsessions. :) As you have already guessed by the title of this blog, I am a huge fangirl. So my posts will be about everything I love. I hope my blog inspires, helps and maybe ent...
