That’s right, folks! I have changed background for (I think) the first time since 2013! Okay, so it might not be thaaat different. I went with pretty much the same concept because I still really like it, but I thought it was time to update it a bit. In these past three years I’ve read a … Continue reading
When I was younger, I remember telling my mother that I was worried about growing up before I’d had the chance to read all the children’s books in the library. What baby Beatrice didn’t know, was that when it comes to books, there are absolutely no rules. Nada. You can read middle grade until you … Continue reading
Words are funny things, don’t you think?
Okay, so this doesn’t really have much to do with books except in my own personal reading world, but I still thought I’d let you know: I GOT ACCEPTED TO VETERINARY SCHOOL! Woho! I don’t know how it is where you live, but in Sweden, we only have about a 100 spots and over a … Continue reading
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
So, 2015 huh? Oh dear. Well, no reason to dawdle (no matter how weird that combination of numbers looks to me), let’s just jump straight to it. 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
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
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
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
Better late than never, right? Five Favourites of September: 5. Butter Beer and Who-Mug My friend and I tried making Butter Beer, and it was super tasty! Also, bonus points for using my Doctor Who-mug for the first time. ;) 4. The Maze Runner Movie I wasn’t a huge fan of the book when I … Continue reading
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 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
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 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 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 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
I’m pretty sure that all of you are well aquainted with the fact that there are some pretty darn lovely book covers in the world. This in itself isn’t a problem (no problem at all)…until you have to choose one out of many different, but equally gorgeous, editions. *Le sigh* For a while now, I’ve been … Continue reading
Hi :) If you remember, back in November, I said I was going to start doing top 10 lists whenever I felt like doing something a bit more quick and fun. Yeah, it was quite a while since I actually did that, but anyway, here we go: (Oh, and they’re actually in order this time!) … Continue reading
I know I’m a couple of days late, but anyway, here it is… Five Favourites of the Month: 5. The Scorpio Races First of all, this month, I’ve been listening to the audiobook of The Scorpio Races, and man, it sure reminded me of how gorgeous this book is! The voices are perfect, and I … Continue reading
Hi guys :) This is going to be really short since I’m on my phone, but in case you didn’t read my reading update for february, I just wanted to let you know that I’m going to Mexico tomorrow for two weeks :D. This means that I won’t be able to post anything, or reply … Continue reading
