Book Shame

The other day I got to thinking about books (well, that's a lie, I always think about books). Rickard asked me what I was reading and I told him the title (An Unseen Attraction by KJ Charles), so when he asked me what the book was about I stuttered and mumbled something before finally settling…

Book pile

I'm working on my book challenge and with more than 50 % of the year left I have read 70 % of the books I "have" to read. This is the pile I have by my bed of books I want to read. I feel like I am constantly "improving" my tsundoku-skills. I keep buying books…

Book store

There is a book store in town that I soon need to be bared from. I cannot go there and not buy a book (or three). Today I went there to pick up one I had ordered and when I had just paid for it I said to the girl that I needed to order…

Book thoughts: Strange the Dreamer

I recently finished Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor and I have been trying to organise my thoughts into something of a review. I have read books by her before. Her Daughter of Smoke and Bone-trilogy is one of my favourite book series, so I was of course thrilled that she was releasing a new…

Books for the new year

So it's a new year. The holidays are over. We "celebrated" the last today, 20th-day after Christmas when you're supposed to take down all the decorations. We didn't have a tree this year but I had some stuff up that needed to be put away and I'm mostly done. Just a few knick-knacks left to…

Readathon – hour 21

#Readathon: Hour 21 Local time: 10:00 Hours spent reading: 7 Pages read: 250 Books finished: 1 I crashed around 9.30 pm yesterday (hour 10-ish) and called it a night. Then I slept in and didn't start reading again until just now. Currently reading: The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. It's been a fun and weird read. Kind of slow…

Readathon – hour 6

#Readathon: Hour 6 Local time: 19:00 Hours spent reading: 4 Pages read: 160 Books finished: 1 Well the reading got off to a rocky start when I came across a misprint in my book and I had to stop and suddenly pick something else. It threw me off for a bit. But I picked up a short illustrated…

Readathon – hour 0 meme

What fine part of the world are you reading from today? I'm reading in a rainy Malmö, Sweden. Perfect reading weather. Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? The Watchmaker of Filigree Street looks most exciting. Which snack are you most looking forward to? I have prepared a plate of veggies…

Readathon Autumn 2016

In April I found out about an online-event called the Dewey's 24-hour Readathon where participants read all over the world for 24 hours. Everyone is starting at the same time no matter what time zone they're in. I didn't find out about it until the day of so I had no way of participating then…

Imperial Radch – a recommendation

This isn't and has never been a book review blog but I have to put this down somewhere and why not here. (Also why shouldn't it be a book blog? I've started reading again, maybe it could be.) In November I read a book recommendation on a blog I follow for Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch-trilogy which…
