I think I first saw Christine of polandbananasBOOKS do this tag, but I believe it was created by emmmabooks. The rules are pretty simple: 1. Write down the names of characters from different books on scraps of paper. You can do as many as you like, but I did 22 (9 girls and 13 boys). 2. Put … Continue reading

Tag: Book to Movie Wishlist Tag
Yesterday’s tag was so much fun that I’ve decided to do another one today. :) And as it happens, I was actually tagged to do this one as well. :) Thanks a lot Appletaile! :) The book to movie wishlist tag is, thankfully, not quite as complicated and difficult to explain as the zombie apocalypse tag. … Continue reading

Books & Music #2
You can find #1 here. :) 5 Songs that remind me of books: 1. Winter by Nieves − Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater Well, I feel like it’s pretty obvious why I chose this song (even to those of you who haven’t read the book), but even without the winter theme, I can kind of imagine Sam singing … Continue reading
Books & Music #1
So, I’ve seen different versions of this thing around for a while now, and since I really enjoy watching those videos/reading those posts (oh, and the fact that books and music are two of my favourite things), I wanted to try it myself. :) It’s all pretty nice and simple, really. I have chosen a couple … Continue reading
In Which I Show You Some of My Creations
A few days ago, I got a sudden need to do something. It wasn’t a need to read, or watch a movie, or even to lay in my bed staring at the ceiling. No, I felt like ….crocheting. I know, I know, not the most exciting pastime, but it’s really soothing, I promise! Anyway, I … Continue reading

First things first… …the Goodreads challenge When it comes to the Goodreads challenge, I have a nifty little trick that I’m now going to graciously share with you. … Continue reading
In Which I Have a Photoshoot With a Tarot Card
A few weeks ago, I participated in an art contest hosted by Maggie Stiefvater (you know, one of my favourite authors of all time!). At the beginning of the contest, Maggie promised that each person that submitted something (as long as it wasn’t a stick figure), would receive one of the tarot cards she had … Continue reading
Top 14 Books of 2014
And so it’s time for another top books of the year-list! :D If you want to read more about my thoughts on a certain book, just click the covers. I haven’t been very good at reviewing this past year, though, so some will just lead you to the book’s Goodreads-page. I hope you’ll find something … Continue reading
How I Rate Books
A few days ago, Regan of PeruseProject posted a video talking about how she rates books, and I thought I’d do the same (except for the video-part). In Regan’s video, she said that she base her ratings on two things: expectation and the book’s intent (watch her video for further explanation). I agree with her … Continue reading
Tag: Creatures of the Night Book Tag
Welcome back and YES, it is indeed time for another book tag. :D As you might or might not know, the Creatures of the Night Tag was created by the fantastic booktuber Katytastic, and to watch her original video, just click here. :) I wasn’t officially tagged, but as per usual, I’m going to give it a go … Continue reading
Tag: The Book GIF Tag
A couple of days ago, I was tagged by Beate (who is a Swedish blogger, so if you don’t know any Swedish, sucks to be you) to do a tag called “The Book GIF Tag”, and since I’ve never been officially tagged by anyone before, I’m really excited, so thank you lots! :) The Book GIF Tag … Continue reading

HoO in the Nude
This morning, I woke up to the pretty random, though not unreasonable, request to see The Heroes of Olympus without their dust jackets.
Five Favourites of the Month: August
Five Favourites of August: 5. The Paradise In August, I started watching this TV-series called The Paradise, that takes place in a department store some time during the 19th century. Admittedly, it’s not the best show out there or anything, but I do love myself a nice period drama, and if you’re into that sort of thing … Continue reading
Can Anybody Find Meee…Somebody to Love
I like most of the books I read. No, actually, that’s not 100 % true. Looking at the evidence of my Read-shelf on Goodreads (and, well, knowing myself), I don’t just simply like these lovely things I choose to place before my eyes for hours. I REALLY like them. The thing is, though…..a part of me … Continue reading
Five Favourites of the Month: July
Five Favourites of July: 5. Flying About two weeks ago, I took a trip to Stockholm for a few days, and since my dad was already there with our sailboat, I had to take a plane down by myself…. …and I really love flying. :) I love the take-off, the flying itself, the landing…and in … Continue reading
Five Favourites of the Month: June
Five Favourites of May: 5. Walking on Sunshine Admittedly, this movie isn’t the best in the world. Actually, in some ways….it kind of sucked. BUT, since I watched it for free at the cinema with one of my best friends on a day that would have otherwise been really bad, it was just a fun … Continue reading

Five Favourites of the Month: May
Five Favourites of May: 5. Rediscovered Agnes Obel A few years ago, I used to listen to this amazing Danish singer called Agnes Obel, and this month, I started doing it again. Her music is really nice and calming, and it was exactly what I needed these past weeks. :) 4. Rediscovered The Mentalist The Mentalist, as … Continue reading
