So, I am currecntly reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in German (Harry Potter und der Orden des Phönix), and it's really hard. I don't speak German almost at all (finished German 1 in school!), so I am reading a chapter in English, followed by a chapter in German, so I can guess at what they're saying better .
I've been trying to read like 250 pages a day (which would actually be 500), but I end up only getting maybe two chapters in. I really need to get to work on this if I want to re-read the whole series before school starts (the 1st, NOOOO).
Also, I've been thinking that maybe I should read The Lord of the Rings. It's with Kindle unlimited, right? So I could totally do it. Maybe. I don't know. Decisions!

Look What I Have
This is the German edition of My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga.
I just loved this book sooooo much that when presented the opportunity to get a German edition of it, I had to take advantage.
Read it!
Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness.
There’s only one problem: she’s not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel’s convinced she’s found her solution: a teen boy with the username FrozenRobot (aka Roman) who’s haunted by a family tragedy is looking for a partner.
Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other’s broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately, she must choose between wanting to die or trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together. Except that Roman may not be so easy to convince
