❝The Secret Commonwealth❞ - Philip Pullman.

“The Secret Commonwealth” by Philip Pullman.
I got my “The Secret Commonwealth” book last week!
I ordered it just 1 week after it was released, from Bookdepository.
It is the second book in “The Book of Dust” trilogy by Philip Pullman.
This book is set 20 years after the first “The Book of Dust” book and 7 years after the last “His Dark Materials” book. That means Lyra is now 20 years old! ♥
Have any of you read “His Dark Materials” or “The Book of Dust”?
“His Dark Materials” is one of my favourite book series so I can really recommend it to everyone!
My 2018 Reading Challenge on Goodreads.

This is the results of my 2018 Read Challenge on Goodreads!
As you can see I didn't complete my 2018 Reading Challenge, unfortunately. But as Goodreads says on their website, better luck in 2019! I'm just going to focus on that and 2019 is a new year with a new Reading Challenge and new books. For 2019 I want to try to read 12 books again!

❝The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci❞.



I bought “The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci” from Science Fiction Bokhandeln yesterday!
They usually have higher prices on their books but this one was actually cheaper there than in any other store so I had to get it since I know it's pretty unusual and unique. The store is heaven for anyone who likes fantasy books + other books they have and I want all of them!

My 2017 Reading Challenge on 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 unfortunate. But since I've been doing these Reading Challenges since 2012 I'm not going to stop doing them.
For 2018 I'm going to make it easy for myself. The point with the challenges is to actually complete them and read as many books that you've set as a goal, so it's time to change and I'll start by deciding a lower number of books as a goal for 2018. Then I should be able to make it and it's just a plus if I read more books than that. So, in 2018 I want to read at least 12 books which means 1 book per month. Reading at least one book per month feels like something I always should have been doing anyway so hopefully I can do that in 2018 and make it into a tradition for the future.

My 2016 Reading Challenge on Goodreads.

This is the results of my 2016 Read Challenge on Goodreads!
You can see my ratings of the books here if you're curious.
Unfortunately I didn't complete my Reading Challenge in 2016 either. I haven't completed any of my Reading Challenges since 2012 for some reason. But since I've been doing these Reading Challenges since 2012 now I'm not going to stop doing them or stop challenging myself, no matter if I complete them or not.
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 on 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❞ book 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 has 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 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 an 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 reading this book!
❝life.love.beauty❞ signed 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.”
