Requesting Reviews #1

I've been very very quiet these past few weeks. Too quiet! It seems I have lost all my followers :(
Anyway, on Tuesday is my last day of uni before the big summer break. So Wednesday will be the first day of 3 months of lots of time, time for books and reading. Lots of reviews! I thought I could start of with asking you, what reviews do you want, which of my many books I've read recently are you most curious about?

I've never received any books for free, never got any books for review, so my reviews are my opinions and mine alone. ( If you want to send me books for review you are free to do that of course :P )
You've probably seen under my feature ' Just Arrived' which books I've bought recently, so that should give you an idea...
But anyway...send your request for reviews..I'll start writing them on wednesday the latest ( maybe even sooner).
Send your requests as a comment on this post or to: queen_nreading@yahoo.de



Here are some of the books I've read recently (but, really!!, not all of them!), just a small sample!!
About Time -Niamh Shaw
Twenty Times a Lady - Karyn Bosnak
Sophomore Switch - Abby McDonald
Boys, Bears and a serious Pair of Hiking Boots - Abby McDonald
Going to Far - Jennifer Echols
Perfect Chemistry - Simone Elkeles
How to Knit a Love Song - Rachael Herron
Accidental IT Girl - Libby Street

Bookshelf

Well, look at that, my second book-post for today...this is really getting started..haha

Well, I got a bunch of new books lately and there simply was no space...so this early afternoon it looked like this


The pic is taken with my iPhone, that's why it is really unfocused (it's kinda dark in here)..but I think you get my point...
I got really frustrated and overwhelmed...but now it looks like this



I have at least three rows of books on every shelf..that will say, there are two rows behind the ones that you can see...and of course..these are only a few of all my shelves :)

Now, I'm going to curl up in my bed...accompanied by The Accidental IT-Girl (see my earlier post today)

Just Arrived #3

This book just arrived. I've been waiting and waiting for it for quite some time!
It was out of stock everywhere, but last week I finally got a message from a book store, that it was available again..so here it is :)


I know I'm very very late with discovering Libby Street. Accidental IT Girl was published 2006...but better late than never, right?
Accidental IT Girl isn't my usual kind of read, and I would never have bought it if I hadn't read Happiness Sold Separately by Libby Street, which I discovered late last year. Happiness Sold Separately is one of my all-time favourites, I read it on Christmas Day last year. While everybody was chatting, eating, opening presents and being excited, I was curled up on the couch next to the fireplace, reading, reading, and being very very anti-social...I still feel bad about that. But at least I was there in the room with them..physically...

So, now I'm really looking forward to reading this.......

Water over her head...

Vilken dag. Jag kom hem nyss, det var väl inte världens mest produktiva dag idag. Känns som om det blir gruppbojkott imorgon. Jag kan inte, jag vet inte vad hon är ute efter och jag får panikångest när jag bara tänker på seminariet. Funderar faktiskt att inte vara med imorron. Fegt kanske, smartare? vem vet. Ska iaf vara med gruppen imorron bitti, hjälpa till med att utforma presentationen osv, men sedan jag kanske ska åka hem, göra en restuppgift på det hela. Vilket självklart kommer att ta otroligt lång tid att göra, men det är kanske bättre än att stå framför klassen och göra bort sig totalt? Det är nog inte så healthy om man är livrädd för läraren :S

Gårdagens löften, jag löftena från i morse känns tyvärr redan långt borta igen. Ingen promenix ikväll tyvärr, jag är trött, helt slut och det är 9 grader minus. Jag är tydligen aldrig nöjd, haha. Nej, men jag har ju faktiskt varit ute idag, gått en 40 minuter sammanlagd i alla fall. Nu ska det bli kyckling-bulgur sallad sedan blir det plugg eller läsning, för vem kan motstå det här?



Jag fick hem 9 stycken böcker idag. De skickades igår från bokus.se som DHL paket. Jag valde den fraktfria varianten och det gick snabbare än med posten, som skulle ha kostat 19kr. Haha. Jag fick veta igår att det skulle ta ca 3 dagar..haha, vad tiden går fort :P. Mitt andra paket, från adlibris skickades i fredags, jag har inte fått det än...*fniss*. Beställde 4 böcker till igår, får se om det räcker eller om jag måste köpa några fler..jullovet är trots allt ganska långt med mycket ledighet :)

Köpte nya Total Film idag och brittiska utgåvan av Cosmo...Mycket läsning blir det :)
Dessvärre fick jag veta idag att Iphonen skulle ta minst 3 veckor :S så det blir nog helt tomt under julgranen i år....
