The last series you got way too attached to? I am still contemplating on rereading the Throne of Glass series - again! ⠀ ⠀ I can't actually remember the last series I had to reread as much as I have done with the Throne of Glass series and A Court of Mist and Fury 🙊The Harry Potter books are probably the only ones I can really compare it to. I have read those books so many times that the pages are literally falling out 😅📖⠀ ⠀ What is your current read these days? Are you going to reread it? I am taking my time with Truman Capote, but the more I read about Holly the more I dislike her 😑 hopefully she will be a better person by the end. However I doubt it will be a reread in the future ⠀ #rereads #throneofglass #throneofglassbooks #heiroffire #sarahjmaasbooks #aelinandrowan #aelingalathynius #aelin #bookpages #bookfeaturepage #fantasybook #fantasybooks #fantasybookseries #yafantasybooks #leseglede #lesegleder #boktips #bookstrider #detdumålese #bokglede #lesehest #bookworm_insta #bookstagramnorway #booklove #bookaholics #youngadultbook #youngadultbooks

What kind of a reader are you? 📚⠀ Are you the one that is in need for complete silence when you read? The one that prefers reading in a public space, like a library or cafe? Or maybe you prefer the comfort of your own house with some background music? ⠀ ⠀ I am a combination of all three. Depending on the mood I am in, but also if I have time to take a break from my day, I choose a spot to go and read. ☕️There was a period where I just got too comfortable at home and spent every hour after work at home. However, it got to a point where it was just too quiet! And I realized its nice to be outside, get the sense of a community but still able to pull back and enjoy some alone time. ⠀ ⠀ If I am not going home to my parents place for some quality time on Sundays', I try to spend at least 2-3 hours outside of my home. Just to activate myself and get some inspiration. I find that my creativity flows better if I am outside to get some impulses rather than just sitting at home all day - not seeing or hearing a single soul. ⠀ ⠀ This is the third week this summer where I am trying a new cafe - I am a person of habit, so I always end up at my favourite cafe: Chillout (they seriously have THE best chocolate cake I have ever had, and its gluten free yay!). But it is time to try something new and who knows, discover another good reading spot⠀ ⠀ Update: the coffee was good, but the place was just too noisy 😑⠀ ⠀ #readingspot #bookstrider #bookstagramnorway #bookstagramit #lifeofabookworm #detdumålese #bokdag #boktipset #leseglede #bookcommunity #booksmart #reads #perfectreadingspot #readingcafe #readingroom #bookpages #amemoryoflight #bergenreads #bergenreadsbooks #bookwormlife

🇬🇧⠀ My uncle is a very cultured man, he loves art, photography, music, theatre and you name it. ☺️Growing up he would always bring me souvenirs or something special from his travels. But when I was a teen he noticed how much I loved to read, so he started to bring me books. However, as the fantasy obsessed teen I was 🙈- I never really understood the books he would bring me. Books about art, photography or maybe even a biography about some artist that I had never heard of. ⠀ ⠀ Today, I am SO happy he did. I've been going through my bookshelves at my parents place lately and have now rediscovered the beauty in the books he brought me. I was just not mature enough to appreciate the things he brought. I guess, he knew, deep down, that one day I would truly love them. ❤️⠀ ⠀ And I absolutely do! ⠀ ⠀ This is book has become one of my favourites! It is a collection of photographs Scott Schuman took of people he met on the streets of New York, Florence, Stockholm, Paris and many more places. I enjoy looking at the moment he has captured, the curious eyes, the all knowing smile, a moment of insecurity or maybe just the radient confidence some have. Its a fun way to discover different styles, ways of life and even get a peak into another culture. 📷⠀ ⠀ #bookconfession #leseglede #detdumålese #boktips #lesehest #scottschuman #bokskatt #boktipset #bookstrider #favorittbok #godbok #bookstagramnorway #bookcommuntiy #alwaysbereading #lifeofabookworm #bookstagramit #bookphotography ⠀ #instaprobel #instaspace #bilde #bilder #fotografibok #photographybook

🇳🇴/🇬🇧⠀ 🇳🇴Jeg har slengt meg på @elidaleser sin lesesirkel 1001 bøker, temaet for august er at det må være en bok av en mannlig forfatter. 📚Etter å ha tilbragt mer enn halve lørdagen med å bla meg gjennom 1001 bøker du må lese før du dør, falt valget mitt til slutt på Truman Capotes Breakfast at Tiffany's. Delvis fordi det gikk opp for meg at jeg faktisk kjøpte den boken da jeg var på bokferie i Dublin i vår, og fordi den faktisk har stått på burde lese listen min i flere år.🙈⠀ ⠀ Jeg vet ikke helt hva jeg kan forvente av Breakfast at Tiffany's - jeg har sett filmen (en gang for et halv århundre siden), og jeg simpelthen elsker soundtracket. ⠀ ⠀ 🇬🇧⠀ I have joined a sort of buddy read hosted by @elidaleser this month! 📚The plan is to pick a book within a category that is decided by Elida and of course on the list of 1001 books to read before you die. I probably spent half my saturday going through the list, trying to decide which book I should kick this challenge off with. And then I realised, not only do I actually have the book, but I've had it on my tbr list for years and years. ⠀ ⠀ I am not sure what to expect of this book as I have never read anything by Truman Capote before. Exciting times await! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #elidaleser #1001bøkerdumåleseførdudør #leseglede #elidaslesesirkel #1001books #trumancapote #breakfastattiffanys #buddyread #lesesirkel #les #bøker #detdumålese #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstrider #1001booksyoumustreadbeforeyoudie #modernclassics #penguinbooks #elidas1001lesesirkel

Another month so summer is officially over! Looking back at the summer, I’ve actually read a few books. And believe it or not, not all of them are fantasy🙈 So here are the ones I’ve read this summer: Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie I have an review of this already but I really enjoyed this book! I never guessed right on the killer, but the hunt was fun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ————————————————————————Persuasion by Jane Austen. This was part of a buddy read with two other bookstagrammers. I have to admit I really struggled with it, so it switched to the audiobook - which made it way easier. ———————————————————————— You do you an audiobook from audible with Tan France and Nikki Levy. A collection of short stories from the LGTB community and definitely worth to listen to! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ———————————————————————— The Suffragettes. This was probably my favorite of all the books I’ve read this year. Such an inspiring little book! A must read💪🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ———————————————————————— The Dead Drink First an audiobook from audible originals by Dale Maharidge. Another nice audiobook where you get to hear the stories of people who grew up with fathers who served during the Second World War. ———————————————————————— Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. I just fell in love with these books! Such a great read and exciting plot. ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ———————————————————————— 1984 by George Orwell. Gosh, this is one of those books that just messes up your mind. No heroes, no happy endings but such a great read! ———————————————————————— Sommerboken by Tovar Jansson. It’s a nice and different book, and to a degree a reminder why I don’t want kids 😂 it’s about Sophia who spends her summer with her grandmother. Cute and it has its funny moments, but just not my cup of tea🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope your summer was a good one! And if you’re still on holidays- enjoy it ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ————————————————————————#book #summerreads #summerread #read #reader #books #bookstagrammer #bookish #bookshelves #bookeorm #bookaddict #booklove #bookish #bookporn #bookaholic #audiobook #audible #georgeorwell #leighbardugo #janeausten #agathachristie #suffragette #tovejansson

"How absurd to call youth the time of happiness - youth, the time of greatest vulnerability!" ———————————————————————— I’ve read my first Agatha Christie novel this spring - and what an enjoyable read that was! 🧐 no, I guess wrong on every turn but I had a lot of fun guessing on who the killer was.
