M's Weekly Update

This week was cra-zy! I have been on school almost every day, and when I haven't been there I've been home doing school stuff, and I haven't had much time reading. But! I finished Cinder by Marissa Meyer, which was a BIG upturn in my week. I also started Scarlet, the sequence to Cinder, which is just as amazing as I hoped it to be. I'm like on chapter 13, and I'm loving how Scarlet is like Red Riding Hood! That is the reason I've actually fallen on love with this series, because Meyer takes the classical fairytale characters and makes them her own bad ass characters!

I'm also still reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury - but I've kind of lost interest... Is it because it's a bad book? No. Is it because the plot is bad? No. Is it because the characters are bad? No. I just can't seem to like it..

I've also ordered a couple of books, and now my boyfriend has put me on a book-stop on undefined time. I hate it when he does that... But I got a pretty good snapshot of my favorite editions so far in my shelf!

But, as always I have a lot of work to be done, and on tuesday I'm going to a Halloween party! Can't wait to show you guys my costume. Can't wait to actually see how I'm going to look. I'll definately try and get a good picture of me and my costume-twin!

Hope you all had a great week!

A weekly update

The last week was crazy and lazy at the same time. I finished The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was amazing! You can read the review here. I had a week off from job number 2, so I had some spare time to actually do some school, which has also been crazy. (I've been writing an essay about typography and its history, which is so boring)

But, all though I've had a crappy week in the means of my health, I've also been able to do some reading, some writing, and I'm so happy that I actually got some time chilling done. Because things are building up to become probably the worst couple of months in my life.

I ordered "The Young Elites" and "The Rose Society" the other day, and I can't wait to get them in my bookshelves. I'm also waiting for my owlcrate box, which is going to be amazing! And I went to the cinema last night and watched Crimson Peak, which was the most beautiful film I've watched in a long time!

Regarding my reading, I've started reading Fahrenheit 451 and Cinder, both exceptional books that I'm seriously diving into right now trying to ignore the large workload I have waiting for me. I also started posting a new teen wolf fan fiction this week, which is a lot of fun - and there's a lot of cool things coming up the next couple of weeks!

A Weekly Update

As I told you in the last update, I'd just downloaded "Me, Earl and the dying Girl" to have something to read on at the bus. That plan went terribly wrong as I read about twenty pages on the bus, then read the rest of the book over one night.... That's what happens when I start a book, it's impossible for me to put it down...

But, it was absolutetly worth it, and you can read the review of the book here

I also went to my hometown this weekend and saw the movie with some friends, so I'm planning to make a movie vs. book this week!

I've read a little more of "trigger warning" as well. Sine last time I've also read "Down to a Sunless Sea", The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains..." and "My Last Landlady". So far, so good!

Also, I'm waiting for a book I ordered! It should be here any day. I have a "tradition" that every time I buy books for studying, I also get to buy a book I really want, and then I get to read it when I've read the study-book. Also, my bookshelf here is really empty so I've been wanting to have something new there.

All of my other 100 books or so is in boxes in my hometown... It's no point taking them all with me when I'm just living here a few months, but it's also kind of weird to not have them around...

This also reminds me that I should probably continue on "shantaram" soon...
