devastated...

the headline tells it all..
im devastated. 
why? 
school starts tomorrow. 
im starting in a new school school tomorrow, because i graduated "mini high school" i guess you could call it in June. im going to be a freshman this year which is always fun. i think.
i have really mixed feeling about tomorrow. i will either get alot of friends or probably be an outcast. thats the life in school! your either in our out. but im the kind of girl that talk with everyone and everything lol. so i think i will do ok, but you never know. and im realllly  not ready to start studying. im still drained out after my previous two school years!

the unbecoming of Mara Dyer


Author: Michelle Hodkin
Mara dyer wakes up in a hospital with no memories at all. but she soon finds out that three of her friends are dead and that she were the only one making it out alive - and with no bruises.
The death of her three friends is unbearable for her so her family decides to move.
After all that has happen she does not thinks that she will be able to feel any feelings for a while again. But she is wrong. She falls in love.

I loved the cover, there was something very catchy about it too, and it made me wonder what story could be hidden between the pages.
The book was quit tedious in the begging, nothing really happen, but after so 100 pages things started to flame up. But at the end, things got confused, I felt that I didn't understand everything that what was going on, and lack of explanation leaved me hanging.
But of course there were times I just literary had to wait a moment to steady my breathing before I could continue reading. The book was humorous, and very, very romantic. I think the romance made the real problems blur in the background, and that actually bothered me a bit.

I give this a book 3 stars out of five, because I really liked the characters in this book, and the book was really funny as well

leaving paradise - Simone Elkeles



Nothing has been the same since Caleb Becker left a party drunk, got behind the wheel, and hit Maggie Armstrong. Even after months of painful physical therapy, Maggie walks with a limp. Her social life is nil and a scholarship to study abroad—her chance to escape everyone and their pitying stares—has been canceled.
After a year in juvenile jail, Caleb’s free . . . if freedom means endless nagging from a transition coach and the prying eyes of the entire town. Coming home should feel good, but his family and ex-girlfriend seem like strangers.
Caleb and Maggie are outsiders, pigeon-holed as "criminal" and "freak." Then the truth emerges about what really happened the night of the accident and, once again, everything changes. It’s a bleak and tortuous journey for Caleb and Maggie, yet they end up finding comfort and strength from a surprising source: each other.

NUMBER... THREE!

DAM DAM


Cassandra Clare!!
her books are like this
 <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> thick, but MAN, they are good! i never ever EVER, even in my wildest imagination thought that you could mix, vampie, werewolfs, faeries, deamons, warlocks.. u name them, but o god, cassandra never failes when it comes to to suprise her readers. she is seriously, one good author...

MY NUMBER 4

my number four is an author that mainly writes for the age of 9- 12. but im TOTALLY in love with his books, they are funny, and exciting, and they are so INTRESTING! i always learn new thing, about myths, which i think is awesome, because his books always make me intrested in those kind of things. if you asked me like 3 years ago what i thought about Pallas Athena,  i would go like "what, the city?" hehe, but i really think you should check out his books!

he is BTW the author of Percy Jackson and the lightening thief! (yes the movie is based on the book, and the 2nd film is coming up next year! im sooo excited!)

SORRY!!!

i know i know, i haven't been blogging, for like 2345 years, and im truly sorry if some of you have been walking around, biting your nails off, because you thought the books hade finally swollen me, but NO, that's not the case.. the thing is that... i had friends over from gothenburg! they stayed 2 days at my place, and then we moved on to my friends place. we are having a blast, and juuuust enjoying each others companies. no, not really, they are pissing me off. 
jk.
anyway, i have some GOOOOOD NEEEEWS! are you ready? 
i think you are
i hope you are
eather way, i don't care
here it comes anyway
WE ARE GETTING A SECOND BLOG AUTHOR! 
yeeeeeeeey!!!!!!!!! 
she is a book freak with a big B, and the best thing is that we don't always read the same book, which means  that more people will be able to find a book that they feel will suit them from our blog!
my number 4 and number 3 are coming up tomorrow, and she will also do a top five list :)

and just to be clear. this is not ONLY a book blog. we will write about other things too, like stuff we have done during the day or just random stuff :) 

HAPPY READING EVERYONE!

NUMBER FIVE



so my number five is... Stephenie Meyer!
I know what you might think now. 
"come on, how can you like someone who write crappy books"
or "her characters suck!" 
And I can actually party agree with you. but why is she then my number five? 
because she made me pick up book after book. she made me want to read every story that was out, and she she made me get an F on a math test, and now THAT, is something a lot of books can't do. because i'm good at maths. 
her Twilight books had me hooked. how was it possible, that a 300 paged book could make me go day and night, without eating, without socializing? i still don't know. but she managed to do that..
she opened the literature world for me, and because of that she is on my list. 
XOXO Lihini

first post!

hello!

so this will be my very first post. 
so... what do you write on your very first post?
well, let's start by introducing myself, shall we?
my name is Lihini, im 16 years old, and live in Sweden. My goal here in life is to make someone else life a bit easier. i want to help others. 
when i was younger i wanted to become God. people were going to call out my name, pray, and burn food in my honor. i even made up a hand gesture they would use. 
but after a while i got tired of that idea and said that i wanted to become a lawyer. (every mothers dream haha) but back in the days i said 'avocado' because the swedish word 'lawyer' and 'avocado' are very similar to each other. but anyway, it took me like, 6 years to finally realize that that was not what i wanted to do when i grew up, and since then iv'e been clueless. 

so WHY did i start blogging, and why in particular did i start blogging in english when im from sweden? easy. this summer i went on a language course. (time of my life!) i had crazy fun, and enjoyed every minute. it was like taking a pause from reality for a while. which i really needed. (oh, forgot to say that we went to Jersey in GREAT BRITAIN, not America) we went to school there on our language school (boring part) and they told us that we can not quit with english just because we are not in class. we have to continue. So i thought of making a blog! im not that kind of girl that likes to write about my life for anyone to read, so I thought, why not make a book blog? im a biiiig reader, i treat my books like children, haha. 
so i will be posting reviews, my top 10 books and, maybe even do interviews some times! but i wont only be writing about books, i will also write about other random things, because, you know, it will take atleast 3 days for me to finish a book, and, how fun will that be to only read like 3 post per week?

there you have a short presentation about who i am, and what i will be doing, and i hope to hear from you guys soon! 

ps. please know that my english can be a bit rough around the edges since english isn't my first language :)
