My 2017 Reading Challenge @ Goodreads.
Unfortunately I didn't complete my Reading Challenge in 2017 either. I haven't completed any of my Reading Challenges since 2012, which is just bad. But since I've been doing these Reading Challenges since 2012 I'm not going to stop doing them or stop challenging myself, no matter if I complete them or not. It's definitely time for me to change this though and just read more books every year.
In 2018 I'm going to try to read 28 books since the number suits the year and that's 2,33 books per month so it should be doable.

In 2017 I'm going to try to read 27 books since the number suits the year and that's 2,25 books per month so it should be doable.

My 2015 Reading Challenge @ Goodreads.
You can find the complete list of the books I read during 2015 and how I rated them here.
I've done the Reading Challenge on Goodreads every year since 2012 now but for some reason I haven't completed any of the Reading Challenges since 2012. In 2012 I entered the Reading Challenge some months after the year had started so I had already read some books and completed the challenge that year with 26 books instead of 25 books that was my goal for that year. Since then I've had 26 books as a goal in every Reading Challenge because I know that I can do it since I already did it once but unfortunately I haven't been able to do it again for 3 years. I've probably been procrastinating too much and doing other unnecessary things but I love books and reading so I shouldn't even have a problem with completing a Reading Challenge. Especially not a Reading Challenges with only 26 books when I've seen other people reading that many books in just a month or people reading over 100 books every year. I probably should try to step it up and read more books every year since I have many books on my Goodreads to-read list and it's just increasing every year.

“Masquerade” (Andalucian Nights, #2) Giveaway by Goodreads.
Today I got the book “Masquerade” by Hannah Fielding that I won in a Goodreads giveaway.
I've entered giveaways on Goodreads every now and then so far and when I enter their giveaways I obviously enter the giveaways for all the book that I would want to read. I managed to win this book and I'm going to give it a review on Goodreads after I've read it, which is kind of the point of authors and Goodreads giving away books.
If you like to read you should really look up Goodreads by the way, it's a great website to keep track of all the books you've read and all of the books you want to read in the future.

“The Sell” by Fredrik Eklund.
“The Sell” by Fredrik Eklund.
You may know Fredrik Eklund as one of the real estate brokers on the TV-show “Million Dollar Listing New York”.
Fredrik has closed over two billion dollars in residential real estate and he's the founder of Eklund Stockholm New York which is Scandinavia's most high-end residential real estate brokerage.
Something that me and Fredrik have in common is that we're both Swedes who were born and raised in Sweden. And I think it's very nice to see that someone from your home country is so successful in another country and it's especially nice to see that someone is so successful in the US because whether we like it or not, the fact is that everything is bigger in the US.
I can admit that I don't think Fredrik have been portrayed the best way on the TV-show “Million Dollar Listing New York” in some scenes and that's often the case with TV, but from all of the other scenes I think that he seems like a nice guy who's still down to earth even after becoming so successful, which I think everyone should be no matter what you have or don't have but that isn't always the case for everyone as we all know. I also follow him on Instagram and I'm a member in his Facebook group “The Sell Members Only Club” which is an invite-only group, and after following him there he just seems like a even more nicer guy.
I obviously had to support my fellow Swede and all of his success so I actually pre-ordered this signed copy of Fredrik's book “The Sell” from Barnes & Noble already in the end of September last year and it finally arrived on Wednesday last week. I look forward to read the book!
“life.love.beauty” by Keegan Allen.
“life.love.beauty” by Keegan Allen.
In the beginning of this week I got my “life.love.beauty” book by Keegan Allen.
I bought the signed limited edition book from Barnes & Noble so the book is signed by Keegan.
I've already read half of the book and I really like it! The book is filled with Keegan's photographs, thoughts and poetry. You also get to see some photographs of the other “Pretty Little Liars” stars which I really liked since I'm a big fan of the TV-show and the cast.
If you're a fan of Keegan or if you would just like to see some behind the scenes photographs from “Pretty Little Liars” and of the cast, I would definitely recommend this book!
“Keegan Allen is the international breakout star of ABC Family’s hit television series, Pretty Little Liars. A gifted photographer and writer—and a dazzling film, television, and stage actor now counting millions of fans across the globe—Keegan Allen brings tremendous talent and energy to his first publishing project.
Keegan tells a unique story with his photographs. On one hand, the book is a beautifully candid view into the glamour and timelessness of Hollywood, a mysterious yet wildly alluring place. One the other hand, it is a blissfully unassuming portrait of ordinary life - the unknown young woman gazing dreamily from the balcony of her hotel room, or the old woman who walks the same street every morning in her pink bathrobe, just to stop and talk to a passerby.

Through his own stunning photography and captivating prose and poetry, life. love. beauty. chronicles the author’s life growing up just off the Sunset Strip, coming into his own as a young aspiring actor, looking for love and understanding, negotiating the seductions and disappointments of Hollywood, landing a plum role in a hit television series, encountering and embracing his fans, traveling the globe to promote his work, and striving to stay connected to his closest friends and loved ones.”
150205 - Books on SALE.
Yesterday I picked up my package with the 8 books I had ordered from CDON.
“The Key” by Mats Strandberg and Sara Bergmark Elfgren, “Belle” by Lesley Pearse, “Röd måne” by Elisabet Nemert, “Ljusets dotter” by Elisabet Nemert, “Wuthering heights” by Emily Brönte, “Barnbruden” by Anna Laestadius Larsson, “I've Got Your Number” by Sophie Kinsella and “Cocktails for Three” by Sophie Kinsella.
I saw last week that they had a offer with 4 books for 149 kr so I ordered a total of 8 books for 298 kr!
My new calendar: “Leva Livet 2015”.
I thought of ordering this calendar in the end of last year, which I probably should have since January is already over now, but I didn't buy it since I thought that I already have a calendar so why should I have 2 calendars? But then in January I read about the calendar again in a blog-post by Spellmink and decided that I simply must buy it!
The calendar contains space for diary entries, inspiring texts, meditation, strengthening daily affirmations and developing exercises every week about the theme of the month, space for your intention for the week and the month, summary of good moments and challenges, beautiful pages to write your goals and dreams for 2015 and a annual chronicle.
The calendar's themes are: January - Fresh start, February - Trust, March - Self esteem, April - Self-confidence, May - Joy of living, June - Security and calm, July - Gratitude, August - Health, September - Relationships, October - Consideration, November - Success and December - Love.
I would say that this calendar is a mix between a calendar and a diary, so I think it's probably better than a normal calendar and I should have bought it in the end of last year but it's better late than never. I hope that the creator of this calendar will continue making them for every year because then I'll probably buy one every year and also keep it every year. I've always thrown away my normal spiral binder calendars when the calendar year is over because they have just been normal calendars, but since I think this calendar is like both a calendar and a diary, I'll save it together with my real diaries.
I've not written anything in my calendar yet but I've planned to do so today. I'm going to fill in January first since that month focused on your goals and dreams for 2015 so it's of course important to write down your thoughts and answers to the questions of that month and it also wouldn't make any sense to me to just skip a whole month even though it's already over. After that I'm going to write down future appointments and plans that I know of right now and of course birthdays.
You can see a sample of how the calendar looks like inside here.
My 2014 Reading Challenge @ Goodreads.
As you can see, I didn't complete my 2014 Reading Challenge on Goodreads this year.
In my 2012 Reading Challenge I had a goal of 25 books and I read 26 books so I know that I'm able to read more books. In my 2013 Reading Challenge I added one more book to the goal so I had a goal of 26 books but I only read 15 books and in my 2014 Reading Challenge I had the same goal for the second time and I only read 11 books. So for my 2015 Reading Challenge I will have the same goal for the third time and this year I just have to read at least 26 books!
You can find the complete list of the books I read during 2014 and how I rated them here.
679,256 Goodreads users participated in the 2014 Reading Challenge and 15,540 challenges were completed. A total of 19,072,928 books were completed.

“Staying Strong: A Journal”.
I pre-ordered the “Staying Strong: A Journal” a few weeks ago from CDON with the gift-card I got from them on my Birthday last month. The book was released on October 9 and I finally got it on Wednesday.
This is my new and current diary! I had already decided that I wanted this to be my new diary a while before I bought it and luckily it was going to be released in time for when I would finish my previous diary. I thought and hoped that I would get the book the same week as it was released but unfortunately I didn't get it until Wednesday even though it was released on last Thursday, so I've been without a diary longer than I expected I would be and I haven't felt good about it. I haven't always written regularly in my diary during my life so far but even when I didn't write regularly in it I've always had a current diary that I can write in if I want to, so it was probably because I knew that right now I didn't have a diary to write in if I wanted to that made me feel a bit bad.
Last year I decided that I was going to write in my diary at least every Sunday and I've been doing that and I've only missed a few Sunday's since then. So my previous diary only lasted for 11 months and earlier during my life I've had the same diary for some years since I didn't write regularly in it, so compared to that I think I'm really good at writing in my diary now. I own over 10 finished diaries which may sound like a lot to some people but I wish I had written regularly in my diary ever since I was younger because then I would have many more than that now. But at least I've realized that and I'm writing regularly in my diary now so I'll hopefully have plenty of diaries when I'm old.
I really recommend everyone to get a diary and write in it regularly. When you're old you'll hopefully have many diaries to read and look through and remember all the things that happened in your life. I think it's really good to take a lot of photos during your life that you can always look back on and remember all the wonderful memories, but a diary is also a really great way to remember everything that have happened in your life because your diary is only meant for you so you can write down exactly everything that happens, everything that you think and feel. That's one of the things that I like about writing in my diary, I can write down whatever I want and exactly what I think and feel, and if I want to read my old diaries in the future I can read exactly what happened and exactly what I thought and felt at that moment.
“Scandinavian Retro” Classic Nr 2: Tove Jansson.
Today I went to our local library to vote for the Swedish Election to Parliament in advance and after that I went to the post-office to pick up my September 2014 Kawaii Box (which I'll make a blog-post about very soon) and then I went in to the grocery store and found this “Scandinavian Retro” Classic Nr 2: Tove Jansson magazine.
I've never seen the “Scandinavian Retro” magazine in stores before but when I saw Moomin on the frontpage it immidiately grabbed my attention since I'm obviously a Moomin fan. This is “Scandinavian Retro” magazine's second special number and it's all about Tove Jansson and Moomin. The magazine have 132 pages and the quality is very good, it's more like a catalogue than a magazine so this is definitely a magazine that I'll keep forever.
The magazine also gave me a 20% discount on Moomin mugs from the Cervera store, so I may buy some new Moomin mugs to my collection. I think I have 7 Moomin mugs in my collection so far if I remember correctly.

10 first “Pretty Little Liars” books.
On my 24th Birthday this last Friday I also went to pick up my package with the 10 first books from the “Pretty Little Liars” book series by Sara Shepard.
The 10 first books that I got from the book series is called “Pretty Little Liars”, “Flawless”, “Perfect”, “Unbelievable”, “Wicked”, “Killer”, “Heartless”, “Wanted”, “Twisted” and “Ruthless”.
I'm a big fan of the “Pretty Little Liars” TV-series and I'm following a Swedish blog, pprettylittleliars.blogg.se, about the TV-series and some week ago they published a blog-post where another reader of the blog wanted to sell the first 8 “Pretty Little Liars” books. She wanted to sell every book for only 10 kr, which is really cheap, so I obviously contacted her right away and told her that I wanted to buy them. She told me that she also had book 9 and 10, so I got the 10 first books from the “Pretty Little Liars” book series for only 175 kr inluding shipping! If I would have bought the books online on my own I would only have been able to get 2-3 books for that price, so it was definitely a very good deal.
I'm obviously up to date with the “Pretty Little Liars” TV-series and I'm waiting for the Christmas episode that they're going to air some time in December this year. I already know that the biggest difference between the TV-series and the book series, which everyone should know, is that Alison doesn't have a twin in the TV-series which she have in the books. But I thought that it would be fun to read the books to find out what else is different between the TV-series and the books.
I've already started to read the first book “Pretty Little Liars” and I've already found some other differences, which is the girls looks: in the books Aria have black hair, Spencer have blonde hair, Emily have red blonde hair and is Irish and Hanna have brown hair. So the only girl who have the same looks as in the books is Aria, since she have dark hair in the TV-series as well. But Spencer, Emily and Hanna all have a different hair color in the TV-series and Emily even have a different ethnicity. So I've already find some other differences and it will be interesting to find more.

“Divergent”.
I just finished watching the “Divergent” movie and I REALLY liked it! ♥
I've read the first book in the “Divergent” trilogy and I bought the two last books, “Insurgent” and “Allegiant”, in July and I definitely look forward to read them since I loved the first book.
I've been wanting to see the “Divergent” movie since I first heard about it, which was before I had even read the book, and tonight I finally found it online on one of the websites I usually use to watch movies and TV-series online. So tonight I finally got to see it and like I've already said I really liked it!
I was obviously a fan of the books before I saw the movie but now that I've seen it I'm definitely a fan of the movies as well! I can't wait to read the other two books in the trilogy and then watch “Insurgent” on March 20, 2015.
I recommend the “Divergent” book trilogy to all of you! And then you can watch the “Divergent” movie when you've read the first book, if you haven't already seen it. What do you think about “Divergent” if you've read/seen it?
140630 - 5 new books from the Summer SALE.
“The Selection” and “The Elite” by Kiera Cass.
This is the books that I found on CDON's Summer SALE!
I've already read “Divergent” which is the first book in the “Divergent” trilogy and it was really good so of course I want to read the two last books “Insurgent” and “Allegiant” so that's why I bought the box set of the trilogy!
I actually already have a copy of the first book but it was cheaper to buy the box set than it would have been to only buy the two last books. With the box set you also got “The World of Veronica Roth's Divergent” which is a 48-page booklet that includes an author Q&A, playlists, quizzes, etc. I've already read what's in the booklet since the same information is also in the “Divergent” copy that I already own but I'd rather have the booklet on it's own than having it directly after the story in the “Divergent” book. I'm going to give my older “Divergent” copy away since I don't need two copies of the same book, and the books in the box set was in the same design and the “Divergent” book I already own is in a different design so it only makes sense to give it away.
“The Selection” have been on my to-read list for a while now so when I saw it on CDON I decided to get it.
“The Elite” is the second book in the trilogy and you could get 2 pocket books for 99 kr so I got that one as well.

140626 - Shopping, dream books & bucket-lists.
“The Last Concubine” by Lesley Downer.
At Thursday me and my Mom took our bicycles and went off to look in a few stores.
I got the book on the photo above for only 10 kr, 14 pairs of ankle socks for 99 kr (those short socks that are great for short shoes. I've been wanting to get some ankle socks for so long but in most stores the sell 5 pairs or 7 pairs for 99 kr so 14 pairs for 99 kr was definitely a good bargain!), 2 Hello Kitty bottles with strawberry & raspberry drinks (I've already got 2 bottles before so I know that they taste good & they're cute Hello Kitty bottles in different designs so as a Hello Kitty fan I had to buy them in 2 new designs) and a 4 pack of Hello Kitty toilet paper (toilet paper isn't that exciting to buy, but as a Hello Kitty fan it's too cute to resist & I'll probably use them once I get my own home, haha).
After we had looked in a few stores I went to my friend Johanna's work place and waited for her to finish her work day, and then we went home to her place and hung out. We talked and ate dinner together and made plans for what we're going to do the next time we'll see each other. ♥
We're going to make our own dream books, or that's what I like to call them anyway. It's something that I've been wanting to do and planning to do for months now so I really look forward to finally make my dream book, and when I told Johanna about it she got as excited as me and also wanted to do it. So what we're going to do is to find a perfect book for ourselves that we'll then fill with our own bucket-lists! A bucket-list is a list of everything that you want to do in your life. So we'll make our own dream books with text and pictures of everything that we want to do, explore and experience in our lives. And every time we've done something in our book, we'll cross that we've done that and during our lifetime we'll be able to look through our dream books and see what dreams, plans and wishes we've actually accomplished from our bucket-lists.

I think everyone should make their own bucket-list. You don't have to make it into a whole project like we'll be doing but we'll only do that because we like crafts and these kind of things. You can just make a bucket-list as a simple list on a piece of paper/s and save it somewhere and there you have your bucket-list! I think it would be as fun for everyone to see what you've actually accomplished during your life and I think a bucket-list is the perfect way to do that. Otherwise I think it's easy to just continue living your life and not really think about what you want to accomplish and if you don't think about it you won't realize when you do accomplish something or how much you've accomplished. So I'd definitely advice you all to make some sort of bucket-list!
My 2013 Reading Challenge @ Goodreads.
Last year I completed my 2012 Reading Challenge goal of 25 books (I read 26 books last year) so I know I'm able to read way more books than what I've read this year. I can't say that I've been that busy this year either so I really don't have any explanation for why I didn't meet my goal of 26 books this year when I read that many books last year when I was busier since I was still studying. But at least I have read 14 books this year!
You can find the complete list of the books I read during 2013 and how I rated them here.
Since I didn't complete my 2013 Reading Challenge this year I will set the same goal of 26 books for my 2014 Reading Challenge.
436,757 Goodreads users participated in the 2013 Reading Challenge and 15,995 challenges were completed.

“Vampire Academy” by Richelle Mead
.
Today I got the first book “Vampire Academy” from the book series with the same name, written by Richelle Mead.
I've known about the book series for some years now since the books are popular and the book genres are also some of my favorites, so the books have been on my to-read list for a while now. And now I've finally bought the first book in the series since I want to read it before the movie based on the first book premieres in 2014.
