  1. x I own Karlson on the Roof and might have also read a few of the other ones, I definitely know Pippi but mainly from a TV series.. I think I might have read the book too when I was a child (I read everything interesting that the library had for my age). I hope you enjoy the books ! P.S. It's a joy to visit this thread and read all the ramblements ! How long have you (Kay) and you (Sari) known each other? You talk like you've known each other for years and are very close friends. I think that's a wonderful thing to see. I hope you don't mind me saying so, I don't mean anything bad by it.
  2. x That's an interesting dream! I think you would make a great librarian though . It makes sense if you're worried about it, but you're a really friendly person so I think it'll be fine . x x I'm glad to hear these things ! x x Thanks , on his behalf. I think it must be quite difficult from time to time, I'm quite proud of how he handles it to be honest. x x I'm glad it helps . x x I think so too . P.S. Enjoy the Shopaholic book , it's one of my favourite series. How many have you read (or just the first one?)?
  3. I bought some paper books: Peter V. Brett - Demon Cycle 3: The Daylight War Lisa Genova - Love Anthony Heather Vogel Frederick - The Mother-Daughter Book Club 6: Wish You Were Eyre Jo Walton - Among Others Scarlett Bailey - Just for Christmas And I bought some Kindle books: Ann M. Martin - The Baby-Sitters Club Super Special 11: The Baby-Sitters Remember Ann M. Martin - The Baby-Sitters Club Super Special 12: Here Come the Bridesmaids! Ann M. Martin - The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix 1: Kristy's Great Idea
  4. I'm glad to hear you like these books. I have them on my shelf but I haven't read them yet. I'm glad you liked them .
  5. x I normally call it Confessions of a Shopaholic as that's what's on my copy. It's annoying when they rename books for different countries etc., sometimes you think you haven't heard of this title but then when you read the synopsis, it's a book you've already read being released under a new title. EDIT: I've finished reading The Chimes and am now reading The Cricket at the Hearth, the third story in Charles Dickens - Christmas Books. I'm also still reading the third Mind Gym book.
  6. Historical fiction? EDIT: Is it YA?
  7. We watched some Game of Thrones season two yesterday, but strangely enough some events didn't match what I remember happening in book two. I don't know if they'll happen in book three or whether they were added for extra tension. It bothered me a bit.
  8. Great review ! I'll have to buy the book sometime or read the Gutenberg ebook. I'm glad you liked the book!
  9. The cover is quite nice indeed! Shame the book itself isn't as good as you'd hoped it would be (also, circusses! I don't like them either). Great review! I hope your next read will be more enjoyable .
  10. I've updated the first post with links to my reviews (where I wrote them). I've been thinking about how I'm going to do my next reading log (using some of your reading logs as inspiration ), so thought I might as well apply this tidbit to this reading log.
  11. x That's true!
  12. Shame you didn't enjoy your book . I hope your next read will be better!
  13. I hope you like it ! I'm reading Charles Dickens - Christmas Books and have almost finished Chimes, the second story in this book. I had to stop reading it yesterday because my tired mind couldn't follow it anymore. I'm also reading The Mind Gym - Mind Gym 3: Relaties (translated from Relationships).
  14. x Having finished A Christmas Carol I now totally know whom you're referring to !
  15. It's not doable when I have low energy, if I have lots of energy then I might have the mental resistance not to get too gringy over it. Thanks .
  16. It depends what kind of disturbing but usually I'm not a fan of that.. do you mean in a violent way, in the way things are described, or the subjects?
  17. Great review !
  18. It sounds nice, I'm glad you enjoyed this book. Translation errors aren't nice . I think the violence would put me off as well. The many plot twists sound good thoguh.
  19. Congratulations to your daughter !
  20. x I can send you all letters! That'd be nice . In that case I want: - Envelopes - A free posting service to the other islands (or a boat so I can take it myself), or to everywhere
  21. Is it a classic?
  22. This author sounds pretty interesting, I might have to have a look at some of these books !
  23. I've never read a book by her, but may she rest in peace .
  24. x Ah! One learns something every day .
  25. I think it's meant to be a Javascript chart, it doesn't work here either. Good luck with your challenge, Julie ! I recognise some authors and titles, there are some good books in there .
