Wanna read..

Theresa recommended this book to me and I already can't wait to read it :) So once again thanks to my "almost bff" :)

Month of Fantasy and Week of Pictures..

I was bored ealier today and I was looking through some different photographs on my laptop and I've decided that through out this week I'll be sharing with you some of my favorite promotion pictures for tv-shows, movies and celeb/fashion photographers.

This does not fall under any of these catogories but I've always liked it so I hope that you will too:

The picture is off the danish royal family. Crownprince Frederik, crownprincess Mary (pregnant with Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine), Prince Christian and Princess Isabella. I am not sure who took the picture, but I love oldfashion meeting modern - kinda suiting for this little family.
Futhermore I finished Mansfield Park a few days ago (not the best Austen work I've read but it was okay) and this month my book challange asks me to read Fantasy - sooo if u got any ideas for me please drop me a note like always. By the way I've already read Harry Potter, Narnia and Lord of the Rings so no need recommending those...

Hope you got some ideas for me and you'll enjoy the pictures this week.

Books u should read :)

My 4th post in writer's week - a simple recommendation of a few books I think you should read.

1. Maeve Binchy - The copper beech

2. Ken Follett - A place called freedom

3. Stephen King - The green Mile.

These are my three fav books and the authors are among my fav ones too :)

Everything's Eventual

I have decided on a book for my reading challenge:

My sister is a big Stephen King collector and I haven't really read anything of his since high school so I decided it might be time to pick up a few of his books again. I've already read the first of the fourteen short stories this book contains. So far the book is very promising.

Another crime novel

Okay I know I said that I wanted to read Prized Possesions next, but I couldn't really seem to get started on that one, so I pick up Sherlock Holmes instead which was a quick read. I love the old Sherlock Holmes movies and Tv-show and the new movie is quit good too. I must say I don't think I'll be a keen reader of these books either, but for a crime novel is was great and I do think I might have to get my hands on a few more Sherlock Holmes books at a later date :) Click on the picture if you wanna know more about the book.

Book Challenge 1: Crime Novels

Okay this book challenge has proved to be just that. I don't often read Crime Novels so I hasen't been easy for me to find a book I found interesting (add to it it has to be written before 2000 and it is next to impossible)!!!

I know, I know - I am wailing especially since I ended up finding more than one book - but not without help from friends and ispiration from TV and it still wasn't easy. I am not sure I'll end up reading them all but here is what I came up with - 5 different novels by 5 different authors:

1. This first book is written by Arthur Conan Doyle and it is called The hound of Baskersvilles. I have been meaning to read a Sherlock Holmes novel for quite some time now and I thought it was about time. I know the stories of the british detective very well from TV and the 2010 movie, but I am embarresed to admit I actually

never read one of the books.

2. This next novel is written by the author Ian Rankin - and I have never read anything by him but I do weakly recollect the mini series one tv about John Rubus played by John Hannah. This book is also about John Rubus and I have been meaning to try out these books to for a while now and the book challenge is a good excuse.

3. This novel is called The Third Twin and the writer is Ken Follett - an author I am very fimiliar with. He has written books like A place called freedom (one of my favorite books and worth a read), Pillars of the earth and Whiteout - but I have never read this one - well because it is a crime novel and as I said I don't normally read to many of those, but Follett is a great writer and I thought he should make the cut.

4. My forth choice is by the author Kathy Reichs with one of her books about Temperence Brennan. You may know the name from the tv-show Bones and yes it is Reichs' books about her crime fighthing anthropologist which inspired the show. I love the show but I have never read any of the books so I thought I'd better start with the first: Deja-Death.

5. This last book on my list is actually the one I am looking forward to the most. I have never heard of the author before nor the book and the only reason I picked it was because the summary sounded great. I can't wait to read this one and I thing it might be the one that surprises me the most - if it is going to be in a good way or a bad way I can't tell yet.

So these are the books I am going to read this month if the library is quick enough to get them to me and if I find them catchy enough I might get through them all - if not well than atleast I've gotten started on crime novel and who knows - I might like it :)

New Year's resolution # 1

Not sure there will be more but who knows ;) Well anyway I have decided to take up a challenge of an online bookclub. It is a challenge to read 12 books of 12 different genres within one year.




My friend Theresa (http://girlbirdie.blogspot.com/) convinced me to take this up and I think both of us will enjoy this one. A great way to challenge yourself to read something you otherwise never would pick up.

Join us???

Bookworm???

Okay a note has started to go around Facebook of 1oo books BBC thinks most people have only read 6 of. The list is a bit wierd though, but check it out and see how many you get: http://www.librarything.com/topic/61828w.librarything.com/topic/61828

Out of these books I've read 30, but still think it is composed in a rather wierd way. It lakes quite a few books, newer aswell as older and where has all the classic horror stories gone? Oh well it is fun and quite a good inspiration. There's a few books on there I wanna read either because I never read them and they sound interesting (oh yep I was nerdy enough to look up almost all the ones I did not know) or because I haven't read them in ages. Food for thoughts to my bookclub :)

Which brings me too, what I am reading now. As I said before I am in a (newly started) bookclub and we are on our first book. It is by Elizabeth Gilbert and it is called Eat, Pray, Love. It is about a woman leaving everything behind as she goes out into the world trying to find herself. I haven't read a lot of it yet, but it is very promising so far. If this has peaked your interest you can read more about both the author and the book on this website: http://www.elizabethgilbert.com/eatpraylove.htm

This book was not my own choice and not something I would normally read on my own, but there in lies the challange of a bookclub. Eat, Pray, Love was recommended by a friend of mine and I am looking forward to our first discussion about the book.

Eat, Pray, Love has been made into a Julia Roberts film which is running in the danish cinemas at the moment and who knows maybe we'll swing by and make our own judgemenst as if the movie lives up to the book :)

Here is the trailer to the movie in case you are interested:

What are you reading at the moment?? Drop me a note if you want to, I would love the inspiration.
