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
A few weeks ago, I participated in an art contest hosted by Maggie Stiefvater (you know, one of my favourite authors of all time!).

It’s safe to say that my summer plans for this blog (that is, get back on track when it comes to reviews), failed miserably. Yeah, work, reading and laziness kind of got in the way (as it usually does) :/. But on a much happier note…..I have bought books this month! :D Let’s take a look, … Continue reading
Hi guys, are you ready for some books? :) Okay, admittedly I didn’t get that many books this month (only four), so there’s no need to get too excited. ;) To tell you the truth, it could have ended up being a lot worse. Like, A LOT. You see, I this was the month when … Continue reading

“If you never saw the stars, candles were enough.” – Maggie Stiefvater (The Dream Thieves)
Hi there fellow readers :D If you stopped by yesterday, you might have read about me being happy about waiting for The Dream Thieves to arrive all the way from Fountain Bookstore (since I live in Sweden it’s quite a distance). :) Well, the waiting is over, and to tell you the truth, I’m very (extremely, insanely, tremendously) … Continue reading

“It is possible to be in love with you just because of who you are.” – Maggie Stiefvater (Shiver)
Hey! Soooo, I’m having a small break from school (yay! :D), which means I finally have some time to do something actually enjoyable :). I know this tag is kind of old, but it seemed fun, and I really need something bright and shiny right now :). It’s originally from youtube, and was created by … Continue reading
“My words are unerring tools of destruction, and I’ve come unequipped with the ability to disarm them.” – Maggie Stiefvater (The Raven Boys)
Hey :) So, the month of April is over and May is here :). Sadly, thanks to school, my reading this month haven’t been at its best, but I still think I did okay. I’m currently home from school due to an unsignificant Swedish holiday-thingy (Yay :D), which made it possible for me to finish … Continue reading

“Gansey derived a large part of his pleasure from meeting goals, and a large part of that large part was pleased by meeting goals efficiently. There was nothing more efficient than aiming for your destination as the crow flew.” – Maggie Stiefvater (The Raven Boys)

Is it weird that I can spend hours in front of my bookshelf, staring at the rows of books with a big smile on my face? Is it weird that I sometimes pick them up, feel them, stroke them over their covers, open them up and take a long, slow breath. Is it weird that … Continue reading
