Thank you, next! Thank you, next! Thank you, next! I’m so. f*ckin’. grateful. for my ex… I’ve just watched Ariana Grande newest music video, and it’s great! The music is such a mood! This is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Although I’m not here to write about Ariana’s new song, and instead to gush about books. TBR Here we are in December, and here I am throwing away my autumnal TBR out of the window. In my September Wrap-Up, I was planning a TBR for the newly began season that I was going to read until the last day of Autumn, December 21st. First I thought I was doing great but we are already in December, and it means I only have 21 days to finish that TBR although I want to read something else to get me in the Christmas spirit. …

I feel like November completely slipt away between my fingers. This was a really odd month, and I don’t understand how are we already in December. I guess life just happened and the brain was put on hold. All the books I was planning on reading now seem like a joke that I told myself in October. I barely picked a book on my spare time, I was constantly thinking I had other things to do, and I couldn’t spend time reading. So here we are. Wrap-Up I don’t even know what to do with Snow Flower and The Secret Fan anymore. I started this book in September, read about 30 pages, didn’t pick it up in October nor November. I was enjoying the book it was just taking me too long to read a single page because I had to look up what every other word meant. The book …

I knew the Spookathon wouldn’t fall in the Halloween day. I knew it was the third week in October. But the problem is, first I needed to know when was the third week of October. In conclusion, I didn’t realize the readathon hosted by BooksandLala was starting next week. It will fall right into my birthday – which will be a day lost of reading – but it still makes this readathon extra special.

It took me almost two months to read it, but I finally finished The Nightmare by Lars Kepler. The power couple known to be the best writers of the hour of nordic crime stories have managed to create a very successful series following the detective Joona Lina while he unravels the most twisted crimes Sweden has ever seen. The Nightmare is the second book after The Hypnotist, and already with 5 more books ahead of it. From the look of it, the series seems pretty good, and I’m not going to say otherwise. Original Title: Paganinikontraktet Author: Lars Kepler Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Year: 2012 Pages: 528 A drowned young woman is discovered on an abandoned pleasure boat drifting by the Stockholm archipelago. Strangely, her clothes are dry, but the autopsy report shows her lungs are filled with water. The next day, a man turns up dead, hanging from a lamp hook …

For me, the end of the month is always so excited. I have the opportunity to talk books non-stop and share any new books that caught my eye and will probably take my money away. Even though I’m still a little bit stuck in a reading slump, it doesn’t demolish me from searching for more books to grow even more my Goodreads shelf.

With my Christmas readathon starting tomorrow I had to order a few books from Book Depository. As if this wasn’t enough, I also have more second-hand books to haul – at least these ones were free. The cherry on top of the cake is the overly large amount of books I add to my TBR pile on Goodreads. For my sake – and yours – let’s cut to the chase and talk about the ones that really matter. On last month’s post, I was sad for not being able to buy books online. Thankfully, that changed and I’ve received all of them. As I said I’m doing a readathon of my own, until the 24th of December. Therefore, I bought this …
