AYearAThon wrap up + Bout of Books 10.0 TBR

I should probably decide on one way to write AYearAThon...
So, The readathon ended yesterday, and I did not get as much reading done as I had hoped. I still read a lot more than I normally would have!
It went pretty well on Monday and Tuesday, but then school started to get to me, and on Friday I went to a friend's house and didn't get any reading done at all.
I read 2 and a half out of the three books I had planned to read.
This means that i finished "By the Shores of Silver Lake" and "Farmer Boy" and got halfways through "The Long Winter". All by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

My total Page count for the week was: 907 pages, which I think is quite alright.

I am planning to participate in the Bout of Books 10.0 in the next week. My goal is to finish up the series. To do so I must read a little more than 160 pages a day, I think. With an extended weekend coming up that should definitely be possible. 
My TBR for Bout of Books:
- "The Long Winter"
- "Little Town on the Prairie"
- "These Happy Golden Years"
- "The First Four Years"
- "On the Way Home"


It seems like a lot a lot, but we will see how it goes.

Looking forward to reading my butt off before exams start in 2 weeks.

A-year-a-thon - Finish it

We have some read-a-thons coming up in the next 2 weeks and I am very excited to be participating first of in the a-year-athon for May which runs from May 5 to May 11. The theme for May is finishing or catching up on series which suits me perfectly. 6 or 7 years ago I started reading Laura Ingalls Wilder's 10-book-series - the first one being: "The little House in the big Woods".
I read the first three that summer, so very many years ago, but for some reason I never got around to reading the rest of them.
The books are fairly short (about 300 pages) and the font is rather large and there are some illustrations throughout the books. They should be fairly quick reads.

(I think there is something odd going on with the order of this series since Goodreads does not match up with the numbers of my danish editions. For example Goodreads says that "Farmer Boy"is book 3, but in my collection it is book 5. I don't really understand what is going on. I'll just be reading them in the order that is on my books - I have to assume that the publishing people know what they are doing? - It is all very strange - from what I can gather the only difference is if "Farmer Boy is number 3 or number 5, but oh well, it can't go all wrong)

Since I am finishing up on school and have quite a bit of school work to do I have decided to set my goal to 190(ish) pages a day - essentially this is the next four books in the series:

- "By the Shores of Silver Lake"
- "Farmer Boy"
- "The Long Winter"
- "Little Town on the Prairie"






If I should read all of these before the end of the read-a-thon (which I doubt is possible) I will just continue on with the series. I hope to love it as I did when I started it, but we will see. 

Have fun if you are also participating in the read-a-thon. That is what it is all about!

Top Five Wedensday - Book Quotes

I don't really have time for this especially since this topic is sooo hard. But I had so much fun with it last week that I wanted to do it again, but with hardly any explanation, just to share some brilliant words.
Soooo favorite Book Quotes - let's go:

5. “For one last time, Mariam does as she is told.”
From: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
I just finished this book on Monday, and this is just so damn beautiful.
4.   I cannot decide between these two from A Song of Ica and Fire. This first one is from my favorite chapter of a Clash of Kings, spoken by my favorite character of the series Jaime: 
"Tyrion says that people often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it’s served up" - 
The other one is from a Game of Thrones spoken by Bran and Ned:
“Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid?”
“That is the only time a man can be brave.”

3. “So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.” 
From: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Because I have seldom identified with a charcter in such a way as I identify with Charlie. 
 
2. “Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.” From: Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowel. What an amazing quote.

1. "It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."
From Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K.Rowling. Of course we couldn't have a list of quotes without some Harry Potter :)

Top Five Wednesday - Genres

I love making lists. I love Books. So, it's about time for me to jump on the T5W band wagon.
T5W was starter by gingerreadslainey on youtube. It just looks like so much fun and I wanted to do it to.
I alway have a very hard time, when talking about genres. I'm always in doubt about which genre this book or that book belongs to, so I will be looking it up on goodreads. Here is the list that I compiled.


 1. Historical fiction
I was thinking. My favorite genre is probably adult fiction, but that just seems really really broad and when I got thinking about it most of the adult fiction that I love and adore is in fact historical fiction, of curse much YA is also historical firction.
I just love a good story set a long time ago.
Whether it be in midevil times such as Ken Follet's pillars of the earth which I absolutely adore, or it be war books such as Atonement by Ian McEwan, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Some other favorites of mine are:
- The Kite Runner
- The Help
- Eleanor and Park (not sure if this is concidered historical fiction but the 80's is history)

2. Fantasy
My one childhood love. I love love love fantasy. I love how it allows to escape into different world - worlds that are so much cooler and so much more scary than our own. What introduced me to this genre was of curse Harry Potter which is the best thing in the world ever.
A more recent love of mine is of curse A Game of Thrones. I am currently in the middle of A Storm of Swords - hoping to catch up to the show before too long.
A lot of amazing fantasy is children's literature which is my 3rd genre on this list so there will be more down below.

3. Children's
I find that children's literature is very lovely. I like their simplicity and how they still hold so much inside. I really enjoy it. Some favorites of mine:
- The secret Garden
- The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making
- The graveyardbook (which I recently reviewed on my Tumblr
- The Chronicles of Narnia
- Bridge to Terabithia


 

4. Classics(?)
 I have a hard time saying that classics is one of my favorite genres since there are obviously a million different types of classics. I can narrow it down a little and say that I very much enjoy "Modern Classics" (published in the 1900's) or at least the good ones. George Orwell is such a hero! I love 1984 - it is probably my favorite classic of all time. I love reading words written by long ago people. People who where revolutionary for their time. The Secret Garden, again is one of the best book I've read this year. Loved it. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The color Purple and Anne of Green Gables are aslo brilliant.
It is not the genre in which I have read the most books, but I really want to read more, because what I have read I have really enjoyed.

5. YA Contemporary
YA Contemporary can be really really bad, but when it is good it is sooo good. It is a great way to relax and they are more often than not super quick reads which I as a slow reader appreciate. I have come to love some stories like Eleanor and Park and The Perks of Being a Wallflower not only for being lovely coming of age stories, but also for giving a picture of the period they are set in. I adore Rainbow Rowell and John Green (especially TFIOS and looking for Alaska)





This was awesome! It allowed me to make lists within a list! It makes me so happy. The list-making.  Have a lovely day and read well.

Coraline by Neil Gaiman - Book Thoughts

Coraline is a quirky, adventurous and all in all a very enjoyable young heroine. She has recently moved in to an apartment in a big house with her very absent minded parents. Here she discovers a door which leads her to a parallel world where her other mother is waiting for her. With buttons for eyes.

Even though this book is written for a younger audience than my self, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was entertaining, thrilling and scary in the way that makes it tingle down you spine.
Coraline's adventures are absolutely worth reading about. I enjoyed the variety of odd characters, and the vary sassy, talking cat.
The messages in the book and some of the great philosophical "quotes" (I don't know if you call them quotes. What I mean is great combinations of words which form philosophical sentences). were also right up my alley. Coraline defining what bravery is, outsmarting the other mother. Oh my, I really did like this book.
I picked it up a few years back and didn't get very far into it. Sometimes you just have to give it another go I guess.

The movie adaption is so so so so so good, it's one of my faves and I can definitely recommend both the book and the move.


I gave Coraline a 4 out of 5 star rating on goodreads.
(Coraline's goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17061.Coraline)

May I also comment on how brilliant this danish cover is.

Atonement by Ian McEwan - Book Thoughts

I fell in love with the movie a couple of years ago and had to pick up the book. I am very happy that I did. Atonement takes place mostly in England right before and during world war II. It is divided into three parts. The first (which was also my favorite) takes place in a huge house in the country on the hottest day of 1934. 13-year-old Briony Tallis sees her older sister Cecilia and the maid's son Robbie in an odd situation by the fountain. Her imagination gets the better of her and later that evening it will change everything for all of them. Briony must atone for her actions that evening for the rest of her life.

I have so much to say that I can't get it together. I can't make the words work. So, let's talk about the writing, which was absolutely amazeballs. It is so well-written, every sentence is beautiful and the descriptions are so vivid that you feel like you are there your self. McEwan's writing is admirable all the way through.
I find many of the characters very interesting, especially Briony, who you generally dislike but you can't help but love her a little as well. She is very realistic and even though you kind of do, you can't really get your self to blame her for what she did.
I love how this book touches so many great topics. It's obviously about atonement and guilt. It is also a splendid love story, and a story of war and death. However it is also about oppressed feelings and the inability to speak of them and to speak to each other.
Atonement was a very interested read, not a quick one though and at some parts in the middle I felt like it was going a little too slowly which is odd since the first 200 pages all takes place in just one day.
I gave Atonement five out of five stars, it is one of the best books I have read this year, and the movie is also one of my favorites of all time. I recommend it to any one who appreciates amazing writing and an amazing story.

Top 5 Stand Alone Books

1. The Help by Kathryn Stockett a wonderful book about 1960's Jackson Mississippi. 2 black maids and one white woman who decides to write a book about what it is really like to be a maid in 1960's southern states. I would recommend this to someone who enjoys historical fiction and some strong female characters. It is on a more serious note, but also a very enjoyable read.







2. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak which I read very recently and had to include. I loved this book so much. You fall in love with every single character in this book. It is about a girl named Liesel in Nazi Germany. She is taken to live with her foster parents and on the way there she steals her first book. Also a great historical novel but more YA-ish.

3. Looking for Alaska by John Green. I was unsure if I wanted to put looking for Alaska or the fault in our stars here. They are both great contemporary young adult book, but i feel like Looking for Alaska doesn't get enough love. I recommend both, but looking for Alaska is very enjoyable and relatable. It is about a boy name Miles who goes off to a boarding school and learn about life and love. John Green is an amazing writer he is able to put in words what the rest of us cannot. It also has some of my favorite quotes.




4. The boy In The Suitcase by Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis. A danish crime novel about a boy in a suitcase. This book had me up all night. The main character is a nurse who get's involved in solving a crime when she by coincidence find a suitcase with a little boy inside of it. This book is very thrilling and intriguing.

5. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. A very nice young adult book, that takes up some very serious problems. This book has it all. It funny, and sad, and everything in between. I feel like any teenager will be able to relate so some parts of Perks. It is about charlie's first year of high school, the friends he meets and about falling in love. Even though this book is also sad it makes you feel good, and you should definitely check it out.







I tried to include a variety of different kinds of books to this list.

The Book Thief - Book Thoughts

OMG It is 01:07 and I just finished the Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I should go to sleep but it is impossible after reading a book like this one. I was expecting The Book Thief to be good but I was not warned that it would hit me hard directly in the face with pain. I have not cried like this since the fault in our stars. But wow was this a good book.

The Book Thief takes place in Nazi Germany, and is the story of The Book Thief: Liesel Meminger.
We definitely need to talk about the narration of this book. It is narrated by death which is something I think could go horribly wrong but it works. At the same time Markus Zusak is able to capture the soul of the 10-year-old girl Liesel in The Book Thief which when you think about the combination of it being told by death and a 10-year-old is very impressive. The way that this amazing story is told is incredible you are constantly on edge since he keeps handing you something to wait for. It is building suspense all the way through. Some has complained about the writing of this book, but personally I feel like it tied it all together.
The combination of child-like adventures and the seriousness that is world war II works so well. It creates an atmosphere which I find very hard to describe. This book forced me to stop reading and think. It made me think about death more than I'd like to. This is part of the reason why I cannot just go to sleep now. This book has definitely had a huge impact on me and I will have to buy a copy of my own so I can reread it when my soul is ready for it. I would recommend this book to anyone(almost). I feel like the whole world should read this book. I am so excited for the movie coming out in November. I will probably do I blog post about that when I get the chance to watch it.
The Book Thief deserved 5 out of 5 stars hands down. It has immediately crammed it's way into being one of my favorites, not only of 2013 but also of all time.
Read The Book Thief - It will blow your mind. Well, I liked it...
And one final thing is that I was intrigued by how well the relationships between the characters were built.  
I am kind of chocked by how good it was.
That is all and goodnight

The playing with your emotions book tag

This tag was created by padfootandprongs07 on the youtubes.

Which book made you feel:

1. Happy: Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling makes med happy - Harry Potter IS my happy place

2. Sad: I am going to go with The Fault in Our Stars by John Green for obvious reasons

3. Angry: The Immortals Series by Alyson Noel. I read the first four books in this series, and they were just not good. Not at all. Therefore they also made me angry with myself because I kept thinking: maybe the next one will be better - it wasn't.

4. Nostalgic: The Shamer's Daughter by Lene Kaaberbøl. I read this when i was younger an it is fantastic.

5. Scared: I don't read a lot of scary books but I did read the Witch Saga by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor when I was about 11. Especially The Witch Returns terrified me.

6. Surprised: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It's not because I had low expectations for this book. it just surprised me half way through. I didn't enjoy the first half, I found the main character repulsive - but WOW did that change in a heartbeat.

7. Disappointed: I'm going to say Pretties by Scott Westerfeld. I really enjoyed Uglies and I loved the concept and the world and everything. I was so excited for Pretties and it just wasn't any of what i wanted it to be. I didn't even finish this book. I think it could have been sooo good, and it just wasn't. I know that a lot of people will disagree with me on this one.

8. Distressed: This was a hard one. I'm going with Exile by Jakob Ejersbo - it broke my heart. It was soo good and soo sad, and it made me so angry, because it was sooo sad.

9. Confused: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I enjoyed this book very much because of the absolutely wonderful magical world. The descriptions were amazing and the writing superb, but I never really understood the plot. I was very confused reading this book...

Bridget Jones' Diary - Book Thoughts

Bridget Jone's diary was a quick read, and a very entertaining one as well. You fall in love with the awkward, calorie-counting, unlucky, but strong woman - Bridget Jones. You can't help it, this character is just so great. It was a lovely adaption of 'pride and prejudice'.
I saw the movie before I read the book which is something that rarely happens, but in this case I don't feel like it ruined the reading experience one bit. I found this book very funny and I even laughed out loud a couple of times, which is always a good sign.
But at the end of the day, that is really all that it was. A fun little read. It is definitely not one of the best books I have read. I would still recommend this to a friend, since it honestly is very enjoyable and I really liked it.
Not every book needs to be super deep and heartfelt. I guess you call this type of book a chick-lit, which isn't exactly my favorite genre (I actually can't think of any others I've read), but it took me by surprise, but I am not going to read the sequel since it didn't leave me wanting to know more, I was very satisfied with where it ended. I have a feeling that it'll only go down hill from here. (But what do I know?)

Soooo... this was a messy rambling, I hope some of it made sense. All in all it was a very entertaining book, but thats about it. Definitely a feel-good book.

-Jamie

Inside & Out book tag

I saw this tag done by little book owl on youtube - you should check her out, she's great.
It was originally created by MathomBooks on youtube.

So each letter in 'Inside & Out' has a book-related question, and i'm just gonna dive right in there:

I: Inside flap/Back or the book summaries: too much info? or not enough?
Part of me really likes to start a book without knowing anything. Most of the time I choose books because I've heard a lot of great things about them or they've been recommended to me. I think it is much more exciting when you haven't read the back of the book. It's not like it's actually too much information very often, it's just more than I like to get.

N: New book: What form do you want it in? Audiobook, E-book, Paperback, or Hardcover?
Either Paperback or Hardcover. I do enjoy listening to audiobooks but that's mostly just listening to Harry Potter over and over again. I despise reading off a screen so E-book is not even an option for me. I don't really care if it's hardcover or paperback. I think paperbacks can be much more practical, and they don't weigh as much, but on the other hand hardcovers are not as easily ruined. I just really like books so it doesn't matter in the end.

S: Scribble while you read? Do you like to write in your books, taking notes, making comment, or do you keep your books clean clean clean? 
I keep my books clean clean clean. All of them. Always. I think it is heartbreaking to see writing in a book. I'm kind of in love with how cool it is to find an old book with lot's of personal notes i them, but I just can't write in mine. They are way too beautiful.

I: In your best voice, read for us your favorite 1st sentence from a book
You will have to do without the voice for obvious reasons.
"The circus arrives without warning"
From The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

D: Does it matter to you whether the author is male or female when you're deciding on a book? What if you're unsure about the author's gender?
I have never given it any thought at all. Not the gender, the age or anything else. It just doesn't make a difference.

E: Ever read ahead? or have you ever read the last page before you got there?
I must admit that in this matter I am a sinner. I am a sinner to the bones. I used to always (i mean ALWAYS) read the last word or sentence before I started a book. I still often do, but I try not to since I have spoiled my self more times than I can count. If i stop reading for the evening i'll sometimes flicker ahead and read a little before reminding my self that I shouldn't. I don't know why I do it, it is so stupid.

&

O: Organized bookshelves, or Outrageous bookshelves?
Fairly organized bookshelves. I would like them to be organized much much better, but it's hard to keep up with. I love organizing my books. I would prefer for them to in alphabetical order according to the authors last name, but the many different sizes of my bookshelves won't allow me.

U: Under oath: have you ever bought a book based on the cover (alone)?
I have. I have even bought books that I new I wouldn't read just because they looked so gorgeous. This includes a collection of poems from 1918.

T: Take it outside to read, or stay in?
I really enjoy sitting on the deck in the summertime (drinking a coke) and reading all day long, as long as I can have my head in the shade. This is in fact an ideal summer day for me. But since we in Denmark only have about two weeks every year where you don't freeze you but off. I stay inside most of the time.

Those were all of le questions

The Casual Vacancy by J K Rowling - Book thoughts

It took me far to long to get my self together and actually get started reading this book. I was so excited when it just came out and i got it for my birthday in December last year. I honestly don't know why I didn't get started on the casual vacancy earlier - I wish had.

It is true that it takes a long time to get into the book. I would say that you have to have patience enough to read at least 200 pages before it really gets interesting. I still wasn't sure if I really liked it until I finished it, but I kept reading so it couldn't have been all bad, you know. Normally, I like to find one character who I just fall in love with when reading, but with this one it just wasn't possible for me to thoroughly like any of the characters. But, I do believe that it only made the book more interesting and realistic.
I would probably rate this book 4 out of five stars, since i really liked it, but I wish i'd known that I did before i turned the last page. The casual vacancy is a great book and Jo really shows that she is able to write - and write good. In this book everything is tied together very nicely, which I think is a special talent of the authors.

I am reading more at the moment and it fills my heart with joy even though I am not reading a crazy amount of books since I am very busy with school at the moment. I am really looking forward to the break in a week. I really need a week away from school.

I am really enjoying BriBry's adventure time at the moment. Dreamy.

UKULELE

I just bought the most adorable Ukulele ever. I am getting pretty good at it too, if I am to say... Except that I'm really bad at tuning it...
I just had to share this somewhere.-

I is a Giraf! And it is very Blue! And I love it!

Jamie!Vanish!

Helena Bonham Carter Madness

I've allways loved Helena Bonham Carters acting and recently I had a drawing flip. I drew her so many times, and she is so georgous. Heres a couple of my drawings, I'm very satsfied with them.

Jamie! Vanish!

Bright Eyes

I absolutely love Simon and Garfunkel and the other day I found the song 'Bright Eyes'. I had only heard it in the movie: 'Water ship down' wich is one of the movies I watched when I was younger, I loved it. It's an amazing movie, and I would recommend it to anyone. The song is so beautiful, It's allmost too much for me. I had never heard it like this before. Yeah, sure, I heard it when i was younger, but I never listened. Never really listened. And if you do listen, it is so beautiful.
I've spent the last couple of night, sitting on my bathroom floor listening to it over and over again. Whenever it stops I just want to press replay. I've also been watching the movie again, and it's kind of really scary, if I where to say so, it's not a childrens movie!
 I also drew Prince Elil-Hrair-Rah, witch means: Prince with a thousand enmies. It's the rabbit in the prolog og 'Watership down'

My Drawing

                                                            the song and the movie

Pretty Face

A picture (of me) from the movie

I made a music video with Valborg. I had an idea of how I wanted it to be but I needed Valborg she's a genius at these kinds of things. I am really happy with the result. The song is called "Pretty face" by Sóley I love it and it really makes me think! I read some where that she had written it about pedophilia and that was when I wanted to do the video.
Read the text below, think of it. it is beautiful.

Here is our music video

Pretty Face lyrics

I see my pretty face in his old eyes 
I listen to our blood run side by side 
I throw my hands to you 
I run away 
It's so cold so dangerous that I can't stay 


I run away from you 
Into your dream I lose the one 
That I was in when you to be 
That I could never meet my friends 
Again 

I thought I touched them but I can’t feel the pain in 
your dream
They want to take me but I will hide from them 
Tonight I take your life and throw it far away 

I use my pretty face to find my way to him 

I run away from you 
Into your dream I lose the one 
That I was in when you told me 
That I could never be meet friends 
Again 

Will you be my friend in my dream? 
Take that pretty face off surely 

Will we ever have a baby?
Take that pretty face off surely 

Are you my friend?

Will you be my friend in my dream? 
Take that pretty face off surely

The girl with the dragon tattoo

I just finished 'The girl with the dragon tatoo' by Stieg Larson on my trip to Barcelona. I've been wanting to read it for a really long time and I've refused to see the movie, before finishing the book. I really loved the book, and I can't wait to start 'the girl who played with fire'. In the book they are solving an old murder case. And the stuff they find can absolutely disgust you, but still I found it quite facinating. Another reason to love this book is the female lead character: Lisbeth Salander. You can't do anything but to fall in love with her.
and yeah, I went to Spain, It's a nice place.

USA

I took my oral cambridge-english exam this morning, and I actually think it went pretty well. My oh so wonderful friend Emma was in there before me and her subject was Global Tuorism. She had to talk about a trip she'd been on. My mind started working like crazy. What should I say if I drew that subject. I planned a whole lot, and since I got the subject Writing, which is god, I didn't get to talk about it, so I thought I'd share my roadtrip in the US here. It was last summer and we flew from Copenhagen to San Francisco, Califonria. We drove up the west coast through oregon to Seattle, Washington. Then we went to Canada to visit my family. It was an amazing trip and here i tons of pictures :)
