Sukanya | 35 comments I am really excited to be moving up in this challenge. I have already finished
1. Kaffee und Zigaretten by Ferdinand von Schirach
2. Liebeserklärungen by Wladimir Kaminer
3. Gugelhupfgeschwader by Rita Falk
4. Halali by Ingrid Noll
5. In Liebe dein Karl by Ingrid Noll

I am reading the two Erebos books by Ursula Poznanski next.

Sukanya | 35 comments 6. Erebos by Ursula Poznanski. A really thrilling book which dives into the world of gaming and addictions and portrays a thrilling vision of when a game starts controlling the real lives of the players. Very interesting read.

Sukanya | 35 comments 7. Erebos 2 by Ursula Poznanski. Erebos is back again after a 10 year hiatus. Many of the old characters return but the book did not enthrall me like the first one. Erebos is stronger in this one but that does not make it better. I would give it 3 stars out of 5.

Sukanya | 35 comments 8. Die Tyrannei des Schmetterlings by Frank Schätzing. I just finished this book and I must say I was a bit disappointed by the end. It started off really good but kind off fizzed off towards the end. Nothing like the gripping storyline of Der Schwarm. It is a story of an Artificial Intelligence gone berserk which was kind of predictive from the beginning. 3.5/5

Sukanya | 35 comments 9.Morden im hohen Norden: Krimis by Various is an anthology of a few german crime writers. Some of the stories were funny and some interesting while a few were downright boring. My rating would be 3 out of 5 stars.

Sukanya | 35 comments 10. Eberhofer, Zefix!: Geschichten vom Franzl by Rita Falk. After reading some really depressing books I needed something light and funny for a change. This book is a collection of short stories featuring her beloved characters from the Eberhofer series. 4/5
