Hey there my lovelies! =)
In my „Preparing my Book List 2020 & The “How many books of my TBR 2019 can I pack into the last 4 weeks of the year” challenge. ;-P“ blog post I mentioned that I would try to read 40 books this year and that there were only 33 on my list so far.

I’m really looking forward to read all of those books and I hope that by the end of the year I will have ticked them off my list. Considering it all, I wasn’t doing all that bad with My Book List 2019 and I’m pretty sure that I’ll continue to scratch out the remaining books of my old list in 2020. 😉 To post it on here definitely helped me to read the books I planned to read and it kind of forced me to keep to some sort of reading schedule. (Which is definitely a good thing when it comes to me. *lol*)
Anyway! What about you? Did you already read some of the books on my list or are you planning to read them in near future? How many books do you want to read in 2020? Are you looking forward to some of those new releases too? Let me know!
*hugs’n’kisses*

Which of these are from German authors? All of them? You mentioned quarterly categories, are those broken out somewhere?
Thanks

Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier is one of them. The other books are not in the list and get tagged when I review them. If you’re looking for books from Geman authors I can give you a preview of the books I’ll read this year:
January – March, Romance & Science Fiction: (though I’ll extend it to the second quarter too because Covid-19 and therefore lots mood reading got in my way)
Ruby Red – Kerstin Gier
Black Shades of your Soul – Samantha J. Green
April – June, Fantasy & Young Adult
Krabat – Otfried Preußler
N.N.
July – September, Historical & Classic
Death and the Devil – Frank Schätzing
Freya’s Töchter – Dagmar Trodler
October – December, Horror & Thriller
Erebos – Ursula Poznanski
and one of Sebastian Fitzek’s countless books. Haven’t decided yet. XD
I hope that helps? If you want more info I’ll try to find the link to my „German Speaking Authors Year“ blog post. 😉
