Dash & Lily's Book of Dares REVIEW


“I want to believe there is a somebody out there for me. I want to believe that I exist to be there for that somebody.” 


Dash & Lily's Book of DaresBy David Levithan & Rachel Cohn
Pages: 260
Publisher:  Knopf Books

“I’ve left some clues for you.
If you want them, turn the page.
If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the bestselling authors ofNick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?


The snow is falling outside our hotel-room.
The TV is showing the Idol finale (on mute ofc ugh...) 


And in my hands I'm holding this beautiful book. 'Dash and Lily's Book of Dares'
I absolutely loved this because of five reasons. 

1. The Christmas feeling this book gives. If you are like me and LOVE this time of the year aka CHRISTMAS TIME you'll love this book. Im serious. Love. 

2. Dash and Lily are so smart, I'm talking The fault in our stars smart, and that's saying something. 

3. The red notebook. I really don't have to say more. 

4. The writing style. This book is written by David Levithan AND Rachel Cohn and as a reader I can really see that the collaboration went well, the writing style doesn't change the way it can went it's duo authors, everything is very smooth. 

5. They are both book nerds. I don't know about you, but when I read about characters who loves books just as much as me I get ecstatic because I can really RELATE to that love.

6. The book is H I L A R I O U S. I laughed so much while eading this book, didn't matter that I was sitting on a bus with people around me, I just couldn't stop laughing. I bow down to the authors. Well done!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter #1) REVIEW

The day you have all been waiting for is finally here. I've been bullied to no ends by my friends because of this. I've been laughed at and people have said " and you call yourself a book-blogger? HAHAHAHA"

All because I hadn't read Harry Potter.
All because of THAT Potter.
Well cry no more readers because I finished HP yesterday and here is my review.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)By J.K. Rowling
Pages: 310
Publisher: Scholastic Press

Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a Cloak of Invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny cupboard under the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in ten years.

But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

3/5

I don't really know what to say about this book, what is there left to say really? 
I knew reading this book would be much like Percy Jackson but in it's own way, I knew I wouldn't hate the book and I did not, I enjoyed it quite a lot actually. There was so much adventure, and I was amazed by the friendship the kids at Hogwarts had, and how loyal they were to their friends. 
My favorite character's much be Hermione and Neville. They were both loyal to their friends and they were both very brave characters in their own way. 
I am truly sad over the fact that I didn't read this book sooner, and by sooner I mean around the age of 13 because the book was more or less EXACTLY like the movie, and I think I would have liked it in a different way If I read it at a younger age.

I will definitely be reading the other books in the series, because I've that they are supposed to be better.

Blunda och Hoppa / This Lullaby REVIEW +

Blunda och hoppaAv Sarah Dessen

  • Originaltitel: This Lullaby
  • Översättare: 

    Johanna Lindbäck

  • Förlag: 

    Rabén & Sjögren



Remy är en ganska cynisk, lite bitchig tjej som tycker att relationer är bäst om de är korta och utan engagemang. Hon tar aldrig några risker, hon har noll tillit till människor, och hon är expert på att göra slut. Kanske har det någonting att göra med att hennes mamma är inne på sitt femte äktenskap och på att hennes pappa är död. Men så träffar hon Dexter, en musikerkille som inte alls är hennes typ. Tror hon.

Med karaktärer man bara älskar och tar till sig, med en somrig miljö på den amerikanska västkusten, och en kärlekshistoria som många bara drömmer om, håller Sarah Dessen läsaren i sitt grepp från första till sista sidan.


Johanna Lindbäck måste nog vara den kändaste översättaren i Sverige.
Sarah Dessen följer sitt eviga mönster och tar med oss till sommaren och allt vad en sommar har att erbjuda - sena kvällar, fester, vännerna, familjedramat, kärleken...
Remy, som många andra tjejer, vet vad hon söker hos en kille. Men ändå kan hon inte neka bandet hon och Dexter har. En kille som egentligen inte ska vara hennes typ. Jag tycker att Dexters karaktär var en väldigt uppfriskande karaktär, han var ingen typisk manlig bokkaraktär med dom galna ögonen, musklerna, badboy attityden osv, inget sådant fanns inom honom. Han var en vanlig musiker med glimten i ögat. Han är en ärlig kille och står för det han säger. 


Sarah Dessen är känd för att sätta mycket fokus på familjen i hennes böcker, jag skulle nog kalla det hennes signatur, det är ett så typiskt Sarah Dessen drag. Vi får följa Remys mammas utveckling med hennes nya man från Remys ögon, och vi ser hur hennes familjemedlemmar får henne som person att växa.
Vad jag hade lite svårt för med denna bok var det att Remys ödmjukhet gentemot hennes familj, det vill säga hur hon liksom accepterade det hennes familjemedlemmar sa till henne, fast det gick emot hennes egna åsikter, det stämde inte riktigt överens med hur hon annars var som person. ibland kändes det som om det fanns två Remys i boken. 
Annars var detta en härlig sommarbok, lite tråkig på sina ställen men man dog inte utav det direkt. 









By Sarah Dessen

Paperback345 pages
Published March 8th 2004 by Speak


When it comes to relationships, Remy doesn't mess around. After all, she's learned all there is to know from her mother, who's currently working on husband number five. But there's something about Dexter that seems to defy all of Remy's rules. He certainly doesn't seem like Mr. Right. For some reason, however, Remy just can't seem to shake him. Could it be that Remy's starting to understand what those love songs are all about?

Sarah Dessen follow her eternal patterns and takes us to the summer and all the summer has to offer - late nights, parties, friends, family drama, love ...
Remy, like many other girls, you know what she's looking for in a guy. But still, she can not deny the band she and Dexter have. A guy who really should not be her type. I think Dexter's character was a very refreshing character, he was not a typical male book character with the crazy eyes, muscles, badboy attitude, etc., no such thing existed within him. He was an ordinary musician with a twinkle in his eye. He is an honest guy and stands for what he says.


Sarah Dessen is known for putting a lot of focus on the family in her books, I would probably call it her signature, it is such a typical Sarah Dessen moves. We follow Remy's mom's development with her ​​new husband from Remy's eyes, and we see how her family makes her as a person to grow.
What I had a little difficulty with this book was that Remy's humbleness towards her family, that is how she sort of accepted that her family told her, though it went against her own views, it got it wrong with the way she was otherwise that person. sometimes it felt as if there were two Remy's in the book.
Otherwise, this was a lovely Summer Books, a bit boring in places but it did not die out of it.

The Hobbit / Hobbiten REVIEW +

The Hobbit
English Review
By J.R.R. Tolkien


Paperback351 pages
Published August 15th 2002 by Houghton Mifflin 


This book was recommended to me by a boy with nice hair that you just wan't to braid, and because he had nice hair I decided to give this book a try.

I have this rule which i know a lot of other people have too "read at least 100 pages before putting it down"

I did and I just could not finish the book, so because of that this review will be short. 
The thing with this book is that It was good. I loved the language, words were used in a marvelous way, great main character that seemed very nice and humble.

everything was there for me to like, I shuld have liked the story but I just... didn't.
I don't know if it was because so much happent so fast I felt like I couldn't cope, or if it was because I just could not see the point of finishing this book. during the time I read this book I found myself looking longingly at my bookshelf, just wanting to read something else but this book.

However, I must point out that I think this is a fantastic children's book and I wish I had read it a few years before, or had someone read it to me as a bedtime story or something, I think I would have appreciated the giants, trolls and dwarves more then.


Bilbo Baggins, a simple Hobbit, never asked for adventure. It literally came knocking on his door -- 13 dwarves (Tolkien's spelling with the "v") and Gandalf the wizard show up to tea to hire Bilbo as a thief in their quest to reclaim a hoard of treasure. It's stashed far away and guarded by a fierce dragon, Smaug. Bilbo will have to cross the Misty Mountains -- troll and goblin country -- and the untamed wilds of Mirkwood, where straying from the path can be deadly. In exchange, he gets an even share of the treasure and quite a story to tell. But is one little hobbit really up for such a big adventure?

The HobbitSwedish Review

Av J.R.R. Tolkien


  • Originaltitel: The Hobbit
Författare: 

J. R. R. Tolkien

  • Översättare: 

    Erik Andersson

  • Översättare: 

    John Swedenmark

  • Förlag: 

    Norstedts



Den lille hobbiten Bilbo Secker dras av trollkarlen Gandalf grå med på äventyr tillsammans med tretton dvärgar, ledda av den sturske Thorin Ekensköld. De ska röva bort en stor guldskatt som vaktas av den eldsprutande draken Smaug.

På vägen stöter de på ruskiga troll och vättar, men också hjälpsamma varelser som alver, jätteörnar och den store Beorn. Bilbo träffar också den slemmige Gollum som håller till i en mörk grotta uppe i bergen. Gollum utmanar Bilbo på en tävling och blir där av med sin magiska osynlighetsring. En ring som kommer att spela en viktig roll i berättelsen.



Denna bok rekommenderades till mig av en pojke med fint hår som du bara vill fläta, och eftersom han hade fint hår beslutade jag att ge denna bok ett försök.
 
Jag har denna regel, som jag vet att många andra människor också har "läst minst 100 sidor innan du lägger ner den"

Jag läste 100 sidor och jag bara kunde inte avsluta boken, så på grund av att detta kommer denna översyn att vara kort.
Grejen med denna bok är att Den var bra. Jag älskade språket, var ord användes på ett förunderligt sätt, fantastisk huvudperson som verkade mycket trevlig och ödmjuk.

Det här var en sådan historia jag borde ha gillat men jag bara... gjorde inte det.
Jag vet inte om det berodde på att så mycket hände så fort jag kände att jag inte kunde klarde av det, kändes lite som en soppa på en soppa, eller om det var för att jag bara inte kunde se poängen med att avsluta denna bok. under tiden jag läste denna bok jag fann mig själv tittar längtansfullt på min bokhylla; ville bara läsa något annat som inte var denna bok.

Jag måste dock påpeka att jag tycker att detta är en fantastisk barnbok och jag önskar att jag hade läst den några år innan, eller haft någon läsa den åt mig som en godnatt saga eller något, jag tror jag skulle ha uppskattat jätterna o trollen och dvärgarna mer då.

Goddess (starcrossed #3) REVIEW +

Goddess (Starcrossed, #3)
SUCH A PERFECT COVER!
After accidentally unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.
To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her shores.

It’s really over. I can’t believe it. Two years journey have finally come to Its end.
Im going to miss Hector, Helen, Ariadne, Jason and Lucas a lot. But I will be missing Orion and Cassandra the most.
This Twilight inspired trilogy had it’s ups and downs, the downs was that the book didn’t make sense half of the time, the Gods seemed to be more stupid than an average human which I found strange and what was up with the love triangle between Helen, Lucas and Orion? Why even bother putting in a love triangle when Lucas and Helen are MEANT TO BE? Ugh.. and it seemed to me that everyone in the Delos family got together with everyone. It got quite disturbing the more you thought about it.
But I still LOOVED IT!!!! omg Hades, such a sweet man (never thought I would say that) and Cassandra why are you so cute, and why does it have to be over, and why why!!!!
I got annoyed at something new in every chapter, but I just couldnt put the book down, I finished it in one sitting!

 In the end I didn’t want the book to be over. I dreaded the last few pages and I even started to like that last mentioned couple a bit too much… I don’t know what I liked so much, maybe the whole mythological idea. The book just captured me, weather I wanted it or not, I had no other choice but loving it.

SPOILER DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK.

As I said before I got a bit annoyed that everyone got together with everyone, but can I just say...
Orion and Cassandra!!?!?!?!?
SHE IS A FREAKING CHILD.
I liked Cassandras role so freaking much, I liked the whole idea of her being the fates child, that she was alone, but she still managed to do it. She was in my opinion the strongest character, But then Angelini had to go and make them two fall in love like really? the first second he saw nothing but sisterly adoration in her and then he kissed her and was all like "I can't stay away from her" what the f was that all about?

And I don't know if you guys noticed but the whole point of this was to find the tyrant and stop hin/her from destroying earth... and they never revealed who the tyrant was...



Im going to miss Starcrossed a lot, you will always be in my heart. *crosses my arms and put them over my chest and bends* until we meet again. Good bye.

Ink (Paper Gods, #1)

Ink (Paper Gods #1)

by 

Then there’s gorgeous but aloof Tomohiro, star of the school’s kendo team. How did he really get the scar on his arm? Katie isn’t prepared for the answer. But when she sees the things he draws start moving, there’s no denying the truth: Tomo has a connection to the ancient gods of Japan, and being near Katie is causing his abilities to spiral out of control. If the wrong people notice, they'll both be targets.

Katie never wanted to move to Japan—now she may not make it out of the country alive.
This is supposed to be a fantasy/mythology book and I for one, LOVE myths, im a HUGE greek mythology nerd (proud one too).  The fact that this book takes place in Japan just makes it all much more exciting, just think about the majestic scenes...

Roar and Liv (Under the Never Sky 0.5) REVIEW

Roar and Liv (Under the Never Sky, #0.5)
By Veronica Rossi

ebook68 pages
Published October 30th 2012 by HarperCollins


Before Perry and Aria, there was Roar and Liv.

After a childhood spent wandering the borderlands, Roar finally feels like he has a home with the Tides. His best friend Perry is like a brother to him, and Perry's sister, Liv, is the love of his life. But Perry and Liv's unpredictable older brother, Vale, is the Blood Lord of the Tides, and he has never looked kindly on Roar and Liv's union. Normally, Roar couldn't care less about Vale's opinion. But with food running low and conditions worsening every day, Vale's leadership is more vital—and more brutal—than ever. Desperate to protect his tribe, Vale makes a decision that will shatter the life Roar knew and change the fate of the Tides forever.
I liked this book, it was short and exswee, yes I just created that word, the book was quite not exciting but almost there, quite not sweet, but almost. 

I didn't understand Roar so well. he made me confused, the first day he was all ok, second day a jealous psyco and the third all loving and God knows what. the other characters were good, didn't get to know them that well to give a real opinion since this was a short book. 

I have been wanting to read under the never sky since waay back but something has been holding me back.. but I think I might just give this one a try :)

Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story (Divergent #1.1) REVIEW

Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story (Divergent, #1.1)#1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth retells a pivotal Divergent scene (chapter 13) from Tobias's point of view. This thirteen-page scene reveals unknown facts and fascinating details about Four's character, his past, his own initiation, and his thoughts about new Dauntless initiate Tris Prior.

a short scene from the book Divergent from Four's POV. 
I think this piece really tells you how Four felt before Tris knew it herself, and it showes that this wasn't some kind of a instalove. It showed that even Four had weak points, he didn't necessary show other people, and how that could make him so smart, yet so stupid when it came to making choices.

Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1)Shatter me
By Tahereh Mafi
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war– and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

Percy Jackson 1 - 5 REVIEW

realized that i havn't written a review about the percy jackson series! so here it goes..

By: Rick Riordan

The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1)Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school... again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus' master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus' stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.


Percy is a twelve year old boy, goes to school, have a few friends... just a normal lifestyle. until he met's Grover, the real Grover. Percy becomes older with every book, so you really get to see him grow and get older, very andenterous in itself
this book was as much of a fantasy book as a fact book, i learned so much about greek myth's i kiiiiiiind of got obsessed with it during that month (year, i still am, but that's a secret)



The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #2)The heroic son of Poseidon makes an action-packed comeback in the second must-read installment of Rick Riordan's amazing young readers series. Starring Percy Jackson, a "half blood" whose mother is human and whose father is the God of the Sea, Riordan's series combines cliffhanger adventure and Greek mythology lessons that results in true page-turners that get better with each installment. In this episode, The Sea of Monsters, Percy sets out to retrieve the Golden Fleece before his summer camp is destroyed, surpassing the first book's drama and setting the stage for more thrills to come.










The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #3)When the goddess Artemis goes missing, she is believed to have been kidnapped. And now it's up to Percy and his friends to find out what happened. Who is powerful enough to kidnap a goddess? They must find Artemis before the winter solstice, when her influence on the Olympian Council could swing an important vote on the war with the titans. Not only that, but first Percy will have to solve the mystery of a rare monster that Artemis was hunting when she disappeared—a monster rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus forever.













The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #4)When demonic cheerleaders invade his high school, Percy Jackson hurries to Camp Half Blood, from whence he and his demigod friends set out on a quest through the Labyrinth, while the war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near.














The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5)All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of a victory are grim. Kronos’s army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan’s power only grows.

While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it’s up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy’s sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.








trust me, you will love the books!

The Summer I Turned Pretty (Summer #1) Review

By Jenny Han
Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer--they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

laying by the beach while reading this i Jersey, and what a summer read! althought the language was a bit too... written off...
i give this book a 3 / 5. i think u should read it :)
