On the summer of 69

I don't know about you but I don't use bookmarks as bookmarks when I read. I had the most brautiful bookmarkthing that I got when I was in China, it looked like a very long and thin blade that curved itself at the top so that the end hugged the spine while the blade thing was inside the book. And from this curve thing that could be seen from the outside hang beautiful pearls.  But I lost it :(

But now I use postcard as bookmarks! My favorite one is the one from Jersey, but I do have other that I have randomly been getting from people in town, and I've also been getting postcards from book events :)

Sick..

Not feeling well at all so I'm just taking care of myself. I love fruit and berries so that will be my sick treat ♥♡♥

Oh and this the swedish translated version of the immortals.

Divergent

Latest Obsession

I heard about it everywhere. "Have you seen it yet Lihini" "You HAVE to see it" " I Think you would like it" etc etc etc. The list of what people have told me can be long.

But I stayed strong, I was NOT going to fall for this new mainstream hype.

But I did. And I fell hard. 

Teen Wolf is what I fell for.

THATSHOWISSOFREAKINGGOODANDIDONTKNOWWHATTODOWITHMYLIFEANYMORE.

Okay Lilo, breath.

Am I the only one that remembers that Teen Wolf aired their first I Think Three episodes years ago?
And then the show just... stopped.

Anyway, It doesn't matter. I feel like there is a real story going on here, and things always change, every episode ends with a cliffhanger, there is no love story that takes over the whole show like vampire diaries other shows.

And the fact there are tons of hot guys to look at just make it so much better. I don't know about you but I don't have my Eyes on Stiles, Scott, the Twins, or even Derek! Well ok I see them but none of them move me the way... Isaac does. Am I the only one who sees how freaking gorgeous that piece of flesh is!?

That sounded really nasty hahaha.
It's his intense stare that captures me, the way he walk, the way he hold himself, his voice... Everytime I see him on the show I'm grinning like the big fool I am.

You know you have a problem when...

Den Femte Vågen / The 5th Wave REVIEW

“Some things you can never leave behind. They don't belong to the past. They belong to you.”


Omslagsbild: Den femte vågen


















Av Rick Yancey
Sidor: 493
Förlag: Rabén Sjögren

 Efter första vågen finns bara mörker. Efter andra vågen är det bara de som har tur som överlever. Efter tredje vågen är det bara de som har otur som överlever. Efter fjärde vågen finns bara en regel: lita inte på någon.
Nu är det gryning efter den femte vågen och Cassie flyr från De andra. De som ser ut som vanliga människor men som dödar alla de ser. De andra, som har splittrat jordens få överlevande. Cassies föräldrar är döda och hennes lillebror tillfångatagen. Nu flyr hon för livet, hon flyr från De andra. Cassie har valt att inte lita på någon. Hon vet att ensam är stark inte bara är ett slitet uttryck, utan det kanske enda sättet att hålla sig vid liv.

Den här boken vart det en stor hype utav rätt fort, och låt oss inte neka det faktum att det var utav just den anledningen jag valde att läsa denna bok.

Grejen med dystopi böcker är att de oftast är så SJUUUKTTT sega. Man bara sitter där och vänder blad, för att man vill avsluta boken så fort som möjligt så att man kan skriva en recension man kan glömma bort boken helt. Detsamma gäller denna bok.
   Jag tyckte även att det var förvirrande i början hur de presenterade mig för nya huvudkaraktärer, eftersom att dessa karaktärer hade inte något med varandra att göra i början, vissa fick inte ens ett NAMN försen typ 50 sidor senare. Det var då man kunde börja koppla lite, men man förstod varför dessa karaktärer fanns med mot slutet. de fanns inte där av en slump.

Men en historia om aliens kan inte var hur dålig som helst.

Fast det är ONDA aliens.

Boken vart spännande efter 250 sidor, och efter 350 sidor blev det en riktig page-turner.



Rick Yancey har gjort ett mycket fint jobb när det handlar om att konstruera sina karaktärer. Karaktärerna fick inte en typisk kroppsbeskrivning, dvs. hur de såg ut så fort vi träffade dem, utan det handlade mer om att lära känna dem som individer. Allt hände i sin takt, för varje sida lärde man sig något nytt om karaktärerna. Det som gör den här boken lite speciell för mig var det faktum att jag inte kände att karaktärerna tvingades på mig. Jag tvingades inte till att älska dem, ingen beskrevs som "så söt och älskvärd" som t.ex. Prim beskrivs i Hungerspelan.

Efter att ha tänkt och tänkt har jag valt att ge denna bok 3/5, boken hade sina brister, men annars var den bra.


The 5th Wave (The 5th Wave, #1)By Rick Yancey
Pages: 457
Publisher : Putnam Juvenile

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

This book became a hype fast, and let's not deny the fact that I woule never pick it up if it wasn't for that reason.

The thing with Dystopian books is that a lot of them are REALLLLYYYYYY slow. You just sit there turning pages, only because you wan't to finish it and get it over with. Same goes for this one.
   I found it confusing in the beginning how they Always introduced us to new main characters, because these new characters didn't really have anything with each other to do in the beginning, they didn't cross roads until a... while.

But a story can't be that bad when it's about aliens.

Even if they are BAD aliens.

The book became fairy intresting after 250 pages, and after 350 pages it became a real page-turner.

Rick Yancey have done a Beautiful job when it comes to construct great characters, They didn't get the whole body description one might get, but you got to know a bit about everyone as you got deeper into the story. He didn't throw it all at your face, he didn't force me to love the characters either; Everything was a work in process.

After thinking and thinking, I decided to give this book 3/5, the book had its flaws, but otherwise it was good.

Music is my drug

My favorite subject!!

I don't know if Lihini ever mentioned music in her blog, so now I have the honor to talk about this for the first time,, premiere!

I absoutely love music, A life without music is not worth living. I love the way you feel the bass notes vibrates in your body and the melody goes through your body directly to the heart. Music can wake many different emotions, it can make you sad when you want to cry, it can make you happy when life sucks and it can make you realize something you never knew before.

Lihini and I have very different taste in music, she listens to old popsongs.. Like "Waka waka" with Shakira, and I listens to like more rock, pop and indiepop, I also love musicalmusic!!

But something that we both love is glee, I'm sure you can always find a song that you both love even though one listens to classical music and the other one to heavy metal.


Here's some favorite songs of mine! (for the moment!)



                                                             Roar- Katy perry 


                                                   
                                                          Anyway- Cee lo Green 



                                                   I want you back- Jackson 5



                                         Gold rushed- The royal concept


Hope you like it!

Guest-blogger!

Hey guys!

You might recognize me,my name is Julia and I'm Lihinis BFF!

Lihini is on a little trip for the weekend so I'm the substituteblogger! (wow that was a really long word)
I'm so nervous because I had a blog before, we all had one.. But it sucked,
I mean, it really S U C K E D. So I am pretty afraid all you guys will leave Lihini because of me haha!
Another dilemma is that my english is so bad, but I'm using my dear friend google translate and hopes that this weekend will be good practice for me, I know that our englishteacher is reading Lihinis blog, so that puts pressure on me.

But I'm trying my best and I'm writing directly from my heart.

You guys thought that was bad? Wait for this... The thing I'm going to tell you now is so embarrassing. Okay here we go, I'm not exactly a book lover, but that's just because I'm extremly picky. So maybe you guys can teach me about books and give me some tips !

Heads up, because this weekend is going to be WIIILD!


















Hola! This is me
