Nutze seit über 2 Jahren auf der Instanz books.theunseen.city.. und die Probleme werden leider größer. Einmal ist sie von heute auf morgen ist nicht mehr erreichbar, und ein anderes Mal, also eigentlich immer, entweder gar nicht oder nur mit starken Verzögerungen zu erreichen.

Jetzt werde ich es mir hier gemütlich machen. Meine Buchliste ist importiert. Jetzt muss ich nur noch ein wenig aufräumen.

Meine Interessen liegen hauptsächlich in history-based Romane, SciFi, Crime & Thriller, ab und an auch mal Fantasy oder ein Sachbuch.

Meistens lese ich englisch-sprachige Bücher.

J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007, Bloomsbury)

Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating …

Great series

Reading the series again after 25 years made me realise how much I didn't get the first time and how much was altered for the movies.

From all books I liked "The Order of the Phoenix" the least. Not sure why but I thought it quite chewy to read through. Not as gripping or thrilling as the others.

Nonetheless, I love the series. Guess, I will read them again in 20+years or so ;).

and I am really curious about #8 now.

J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) (2015)

Harry Potter #1

When mysterious letters start arriving on his doorstep, Harry Potter has …

Loved rereading it

Read it 25 years ago and have to say that it hasn't lost it's magic.

Raynor Winn: The Salt Path (Paperback, 2019)

Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, …

A wonderful story

Loved reading this book. A story about a middle-aged couple losing everything only to gain something even better.

Totally recommend to read it to find a sense of what is really important in life.

Can't wait to read her second book The Wild Silence.

Tina Turner: Tina Turner (2018, Penguin Random House)

Love's got everything to do with it.

Tina Turner was the Queen of Rock …

Simply the Best

After watching the the documentary Tina I felt some questions unanswered so I had to read her autobiography. I guess it was the first autobiography I ever read.

I don't regret it.

It reads as if she is sitting with you at your kitchen table telling you her story.

A story that affected so many people. Me, too.

Ana Reyes: The House in the Pines (Paperback, 2023, Dutton)

Armed with only hazy memories, a woman who long ago witnessed her friend’s sudden, mysterious …

Couldn't lay it aside (but I had to)

The book should come with a warning label since the protagonist Maya is heavily addicted to drugs (pills) and alcohol. The way it is written it could be a trigger for all of those fighting an addiction.

I haven't read a thriller in ages. This one is one I'd call a psycho/mystery thriller. There is no violence, no blood shed, just mind games.

If not for work (well, I have to pay rent and fill my fridge) I could have read it in a day or two.

The author really kept the suspense and the need to know high up.

The end was a bit ... flat hence disappointing (for me) but nonetheless, this debut thriller totally worth reading it.
