I don't know if anyone noticed but trying to just post on week days and not at the weekend, and I will be MIA over the full Christmas period as I have to get among all the exciting things as this is my first Christmas away from the Lovely New Zealand.
I am living at the moment in Germany, trying to learn the language and culture! I hope to find a job really soon haha, I thought it was hard to find a job in my own country, definitely a lot harder in someone else's!
And living here means I am away from my amazing lovely book collection, it sucks sometimes because there are a couple series that I love to re read especially when I have a lot more free time such as the Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison (Now have kindle versions) which is a funny contemporary read about a girl named Georgia trying to deal with the issues of growing up, dealing with friends and meeting boys!. I do have a few books here with me that I did bring over and that my folks have sent plus a couple I have bought!
My library consists of books two and three in the Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind one I got sent and the other I came with it, this series follows a number of different people namely Richard as he discovers there is so much more to his world. I also came with the fourth book in the Soul Seeker series by Alyson Noel called HORIZON, I really like the series its about magic but in such a cool different native people type way very cool. And I was also given Fire and Flood by Victoria Scott as a present, this book is supposed to be hunger games meets pokemon type deal as far as I know not 100% sure though!

| Interesting series... |

| This is prettier in the flesh! |
Books I have bought while I have been here are the final installment of The Mortal Instruments series By Cassandra Clare, CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE, I loved this series and just had to get the new one, though disappointed I didn't get the NZ/Australian copy as it had a really awesome comic in the end, this series follows Clary as her world gets tipped upside down when she discovers she is a Shadow Hunter!. I also bought The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, I am really excited to start reading this as I have only heard such good things about it, its like historical fiction set in world war two so definitely looking forward to it.

| Loved this books! Final in this series! |

| Heard only great things about this book! |
I do find buying books here in Germany hard though as obviously my mother language is English that's what I want my books to be in, some book stores have an English section which is great but the section is very limited. I have been trying to find some more English book stores but just haven't really had the time just yet, it does mean if I get books its usually not a physical book as I do have a kindle but also they likely come from Amazon which is okay but I would prefer to support book stores and physical books. love the feel of a physical copy of a book!.
If anyone knows of any good bookstores in Germany let me know in a comment!
I hope you are doing well and have a great day
Peace : )
