My 3 Favourite Books

Hello, my besties!
Yesterday was a relaxing day, I had time to read and just chill in my bed with music. Therefore, I want to write about my three favourite books at the moment, however, they will be my favourite books for a long time, as they are just AMAZING!! I am in love with them!
I am a person who rereads books. I know that not everybody likes to do this but I want to feel all these incredible emotions again and again and again. I think I've read the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone, about 12 times. Or even more, I stopped couting. :P
However, none of my three favourite books at the moment is a Harry Potter book (they are more like my all-time favs).
I highly recommend these books and I would love to hear what you thought about them in the comments!


1. The Fault In Our Starts by John Green

I will give the end away, so if you don't want to know how the books ends, don't read any further than "SPOILER ALERT".

You have probably heard of this incredible book before and if you don't then ... I tell you something about it now. In The Fault In Our Stars a sixteen-year-old girl, who has lung cancer and therefore needs a cannula to help her breathe, meets through a Cancer Support Group a guy named Augustus Waters, who had osteosarcoma, but now is healed. The two of them get closer and closer and it's amazing who John Green captures the lives of two ill teenagers who fall in love. They go to Amsterdam together to meet their favourite author, Peter Van Houten, who wrote the book "An Imerpial Affliction". This book brought Hazel (the sixteen-year-old girl) and Augustus closer. However, the author became an alcoholic and cannot give them the answers they were hoping for, however they get together and are a couple now.
SPOILER ALERT: When they get back home, Augustus tells Hazel that is cancer has come back and that it is impossible for him to survive the disease. Hazel and her friend Isaac (who had eye cancer but had surgery and is now blind) visit Augustus every day. They can see how Augustus gets ill more and gets weaker. In the end Augustus dies and Hazel held the eulogy at his funeral. She finds a eulogy that Augustus has written for her, in case that she would die before him. The reader does not know how long Hazel lives as the books ends with the eulogy, Augustus has written.
Peronally, I LOVE the book although it is very sad (I cried every time I read it from page 242 on.). But it shows two teenagers with terminal diseases who fall irrevocably in love and their mutual understanding for each others situation helps their sadly very short relationship. All in all, this book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by The New York Times and also by me.

2. Seriously...I'm Kidding by Ellen DeGeneres
This book is in contrast to the sad love story above. It is not really a story but Ellen DeGeneres (who is an amazing person, in my opinion) makes me laugh on every single page. You can see this book as a kind of life guide. E.g. she writes about how to be a supermodel or tells you her gambling tips. Every chapter is a new little story in itself and that's what makes the book beautiful (to use the words of One Direction). The blurb is funny enough to make you laugh in the middle of a bookshop and I bought the book simply because of the blurb - and because it's a book written by the one and only Ellen.
This book is immensely hilarious and I recommend it highly for sad and depressive days when you think nothing can make you laugh - I guarantee you, this book will.

3. The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Window And Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson 
According to the motto "you are never too old for an adventure", Allan Karlsson climbes out of the window (on his hundredth birthday! That man has to be a sporting ace!) and disappeares (I know, that's exactely what the title says, but all in all, that's the story.). He startes his unbelievable journey with a crime: He steals a man's suitcase, not knowing that this man is a criminal himself - the money is "drug money" and now the police AND the drug gang chase him. Allan gets onto a bus and finally gets away from his old people's home. Little by little, his earlier life is revealed parallel to the actual story and the reader learns how Allan hitchhiked with Winston Churchill and walked across the Himalaya on foot.
Jonas Jonasson created an incredibly funny book, which is a mixture between a hilarious comedy and an exciting crime novel.
I loved this book and recommend for any of you - no matter how old you are, this book is an amazing pastime.

I hope I raised a little interest in you guys and tell me any of your current favourite books!

Lots of Love,
