Happy New Year 2013

Hi bookish friends,

I wish that the new year is a glorious one that rewards all your future endeavors with success! So Happy New Year!

Personal & Blogging Review on 2012:
Well, 2012 wasn't a glorious year or in other words, it was the worst year in my life! It didn't really start as good as I had hoped. During the first few month everything went wrong and I had a terrible breakup with my boyfriend and father of my two little children to make matters worse. After nearly six month with spending my time for finding a new home for my kids and me, organizing the move, finding two places in a kindergarden, finding a new home for two of my three cats and a lot of hearings, I wasn't in the mood for reading any book. I always tried to read books of different genres, but I couldn't concentrate on it. It took ages to read only one page, so I decided to have a break.
The whole time was very exhausting to me. But I'm still alive and I can hope for a better year now. And I'm happy of being back here on my blog.




Change is Good with Preview
Yes, change is good! I haven't plan anything large, some little changes will be coming soon. There's a lot of "work" waiting for me: reviews, 2nd blogiversary, one big surprise and some other things. I hope we will enjoy this year together.




FBP's weekly Blog Features at a glance

1. Monday: Black Short Monday
• a feature exclusively titled by me that is used to post a review from a short story, a novella or something along those lines I read.
2. Tuesday: Review Time
• on every Tuesday and Thursday, I will post my reviews. I try to post one english and one german review per week. The exception proves the rule.
3. Wednesday: Wordless in Paradise
• there is nothing else but 'Wordless Wednesday'. That means: on Wednesdays all over the internet, bloggers post a photograph with no words to explain it on their blog. Hence the ‘wordless’ title. The idea is that the photo itself says so much that it doesn’t need any description. But I will post pictures I have taken, youtube videos I liked or something else.
4. Thursday: Review Time
• on every Tuesday and Thursday, I will post my reviews. I try to post one english and one german review per week. The exception proves the rule.
5. Friday: Cover Beach
• a feature exclusively titled by me where I post about covers: beautiful covers, the difference between German and English covers and something along those lines.
6. Saturday: ??????
• coming soon.
7. Sunday: Books In Paradise
• a feature exclusively titled by me that is used to post books I bought, I added on my wishlist, I read, I read next and so on.
