Doctor Who?

Doctor Who? 

Ever since I became a hardcore fangirl I've discoved many new things. My vocabulary have really expanded, I use words/sentences like 'by the angel', I can't even", "FEELS!" "I ship them like a SHIPPING SHIP" all the time.

A part from that I've been getting tons of book recommendations from people all around the world when I need them. And just tips in general.
Fangirls (and fanboys, a guy got super mad at me when I said fangirl instead of Fangirl/ Boy) are just so nice
in general don't you think?

But. I've also learned that if you are a fangirl you also have to watch Doctor Who. At first I was like, doctor who?

It's a TV show.
I have no idea what's it about so let's check that out shall we?

"Doctor Who is a British science-fiction television programme produced by the BBC. The programme 
depicts the adventures of the Doctor, a Time Lord—a time-travelling humanoid alien."

Well that sounds rather interesting.
When people started to upload pictures about it I thought it looked quite.... Nerdy. In a very stereotypical way, which is sad, because then I would be classed as Sweden's biggest nerd.

But I don't know, I think I might make it my winter break project. I guess I have high expectations, because so many people "like me" have liked it, so maybe I will too?

Like my mother used to say... You never know until you try.

Just kidding, she would never say that.

FROZEN - A poem by J.K.

FROZEN The tears don’t make it to the
ground before they've frozen to ice
and crushed against the hard stone floor.
The shivers go slowly through the body,
out in the finger tops and down in your toes.
Is this really how it’s supposed to feel? The air around builds up a big wall of exclusion
and isolation that not even words can cross. 
The cold looks, the icy scornful smile, 
nobody hears you and nobody sees you. 
Frozen in a corner and your body can’t move.
Forgotten, invisible.
Frozen out.

Goodreads - Like Facebook but for readers.

I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face because today I'm going to talk about Goodreads! (and I have 5 pastries on a plate by me. Man I love pastries)

I'm sure a lot of you already know what goodreads is but I found out about it from a blog a couple of years ago, and I was like "how did I miss this? This website is huge!" And by huge I mean that they had a lot of active members. We are talking a couple of millions. 

What is goodreads?
Goodreads is a place where you can review books, find other peoples reviews, add people as your friends if you like their taste in books, take quizzes, join reading groups, create reading groups, get book recommendations, rate books, and MUCH MUCH MORE.

Without Goodreads I wouldn't know how many books I've read this year and it's also a great way for me to promote my blog on.

If you are a book nerd or just enjoy reading a book now and then, www.Goodreads.com is the place to visit.

The Hunger games

THG tells a great story I think. It's a nice story but there's so much behind the words. Agree?

My Inspiration - Lea Michele

Yes, I know, I've talked about her before, and before, and before.
And I'm going to do it again.

I was diagnosed with depression late in September. This is not something I've talked about before on my blog, because I didn't feel comfortable talking about it. It was pretty serious at that time, but I don't wan't to go into detail about that. I'm still on my way to recovery, I'm feeling much better than what I did in September. :)

Cory Monteith passed away 13th July.
The whole fandom was grieving, his friends, family and girlfriend, Lea Michele...

What that girl had to go trough is remarkable. She lost the love of her life. She couldn't go home because there were more than a 100 paparazzi's outside her house that day. Wherever she turned someone would be there to snap a picture of her. Her boyfriend had just passed away and all she could do was grieve in her friends house (Kate Hudson)

But she did it anyway. She lived. She is working, modeling and whatnot. But most importantly. She is smiling.
I feel like, if she can continue with her life, if she can find love in the darkest tunnel, then I can. She inspires me when things are hard. She always does. That's why I admire her. A lot.

Come back and love me Mr. Snow

Catching Fire Movie REVIEW

Wow.

This is what happens when you stay true to the book. It becomes a masterpiece. Mr. Lawrence get that (Other directors, TAKE NOTE).
The movie was more than what I expected, a little bit slow in the beginning like the book, but after maybe 40 min things started to heat up. There isn't so much to say about the story other than that they painted everything up better than Picasso could ever do, But what I really want to discuss is the environment.
The districts.
The capitol.
The Arena.
Just about every special scene in the book.
Was made so perfectly.

Everything was pretty much perfect, How the whole world was created just took my breath, away, you can almost SEE the money they put down floating around on the big screen hehe. But as they say, Life is nothing without the different characters we meet. Just as this movie would be nothing without all the actors/characters. I cannot express in words how satisfied I am with the acting. They did ALL an amazing job, the chemistry between Josh/Peeta and Jennifer/ Katniss was very realistic, maybe because they are really good friends irl, I don't know. My favorite new character must be Finnick (Sam Claflin) I loved him in the book too, so I did ave high expectations, I knew that it would be hard to play that characters, beause he IS  deep person, he just doesn't show that, but at the same time we all knew it. Does that make any sense? Probably not. Anyway, Sam did a really great job playing Finick I think, and I'm very excited to see him in Mocking Jay part 1!

'Teenbookalover'' mer än bara mitt bloggnamn / 'Teenbookalover' more than just my name.

Teenbookalover. That's me. That's my blog. That's what readers call me.

I was going to discuss my blog name a bit today, given that I know there are some people who wonder, "why Teenbookalover? '.

Quite honestly? Just then, it had no meaning at all, I just needed a blog name. Because Teen Booklover already used it had to be Teenbookalover. I think it was destiny because Teenbookalover sounds better than Teenbooklover in my opinion, it sits better on my tongue haha.

The more days that passed, the more I realized that the name fits me perfectly. I'm thinking like this, I'm a teenager, and is like any other teenager anywhere, with my own "teenage problems" which I usually write about. Or yes, I turn my mistakes into lessons of inspiration.
Book. You hear it yourself, I love books, I wanted to blog about books, simple as that.
Lover. The word that binds Teen and Book. I love both. With all my heart.
Together - Teenbookalover.

My blog will never ever JUST be about books. My blog is also my sanctuary, where I can tell you what I have managed at the gym, my goal, to tell you about my weekend, how much I love school (or hate) etc etc. Of course, 90% always be about books but my blog would not be mine if it were not for the whole, therefore, does the remaining 10% mean a lot to me.

I think that's the biggest reason behind why I made this blog. There was no blog out there who talked about other stuff than books. Sure books take a big place in my heart, but I'm so much more, and I want my blog to show that. I know how weird it can be not knowing the person behind the screen lol.

========================================================================

Teenbookalover. That's me. That's my blog. That's what readers call me.

Jag tänkte diskutera mitt bloggnamn lite idag, med tanke på att jag vet att det finns några människor som undrat, "varför just Teenbookalover?".

Helt ärligt? Just då hade det ingen betydelse alls, jag behövde bara ett bloggnamn. Eftersom att Teenbooklover redan användes fick det bli Teenbookalover. Det låter lite bättre kan jag även tycka nu lite i efterhand. Anyway.

Ju fler dagar som gått desto mer har jag insett att namnet passar mig perfekt. Jag tänker såhär, Jag är en tonåring, och är som vilken annan tonåring som helst, med mina egna "tonårsproblem" vilket jag brukar skriva om. Eller ja, jag vänder mina misstag och mina lärdomar till inspiration.
Book. Ni hör ju själva. Jag älskar böcker, jag ville blogga om böcker, simple as that.
Lover. Ordet som binder fast Teen och Book. Jag älskar båda delarna. Av hela mitt hjärta.
Tillsammans - Teenbookalover.

Min blogg kommer aldrig någonsin BARA handla om böcker. Min blogg är även min fristad, där jag kan berätta för er vad jag har klarat av på gymmet, mina mål, berätta om min helg, hur mycket jag älskar skolan (eller hatar) etc etc. Självklart kommer 90 % alltid vara om böcker men min blogg skulle inte vara min om det inte vore för helheten, därför betyder de resterande 10 % väldigt mycket för mig.

Det var nog även därför jag skaffade just denna blogg, det fanns ingen blogg som jag kände var som min. Alla var så himla inriktade på böcker, man kände liksom inte personen bakom datorn.

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.” 

By 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!

Lindsay Cummings - the new IT author?

Hi loves! You doing okay? I myself am doing quite well, I'm in a hotel at the moment 2 hours from home because my mum decided that she needed to 'relax'.... so here I am. In a hotel somewhere in Sweden.

You might not be familiar with the name Lindsay Cummings, so let me introduce you guys to her.
Well I'm too lazy to use my own words so I'll just copy a paragraph from her blog.

"Lindsay loves YA books, especially the dark ones, and wants every girl in the world to know that Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead is HER man, and they should kindly back off :)

Lindsay owns two German shepherds,one wolf cub who isn't very smart, a real live Budweiser draft horse named Dan the Man, and a silly little quarter horse named Clue. Lindsay collects weapons, loves to shoot her guns, eats too many Hot Cheetos, and can't stop dying her hair crazy colors. She's still waiting on her letter from Hogwarts--it was probably just lost in the mail. She loves Jesus Christ and believes all of her success is His doing! She's married to an amazing man named Josh, who is pretty sexy, if you ask her."

Lindsay is coming out with her debut book next year in June, 'The Murder Complex' which is a dystopian book (but more about her upcoming books later). 

Her first book haven't even been published yet but every YA book blogger out there knows who she is and talks about her all the time. 

Including me. She is funny, smart, young, talented, beautiful, and most importantly; she's a fangirl. 

HarperCollins bought her book so they will be publishing it next year, having a publisher like Harper will help her A lot since they are crazy famous. 

Being this pre-famous as she is I would think she have a lot of pressure on herself. No one have ever read her work before, all they have to judge on is the blurb of her upcoming book. What if the book sucks? Things will probably go downhill if that's the case.

But to be honest I don't think it will suck. Not at all. She seeems like this author who just CAN'T write anything bad. 

If things go good her book will become well known in a matter of moment's, because that's what book bloggers do. We put great and bad books under the spotlight. 

Lindsay, you have a tough road in front of you, enjoy it and live it to the fullest. We believe in you. I believe in you. 

Your mind is not your own..

Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?
