  1. She could be related to them somehow, you never know But there is most definitely some connection. She does seem very lonely and I like her with Kvothe. I wonder what happens to her, she not in the picture when he tells the story as far as I can tell. And do you think the story will pick up from the time he tells it in the third book?
  2. Ooh, I like the 'reading 30, computer 10' idea. I spend way too much time on the internet. That is a good idea for me to I think. The internet is tricky. All of a sudden you notice that an hour has gone by. Congrats on being under 600! I wish I had a TBR list like that. Mines only about 20-30 books I think. I need to work on that.
  3. I only have one bookshelf and it's nearly full now. I have my YA books at my parents house but if I got the it would defiantly be full and then some. I tries to organize the by series or authors but now it's mostly a mess....I'll fix that as soon as possible.
  4. How many flavors do we have to choose from?
  5. The the concept of eternity will change. What if I'll never find the best book in the world?
  6. and then we will fall asleep listening to the sound of....
  7. Best description ever! I love love love Gilmore Girls it always makes me happy! And you get to hear about some great books
  8. I loved this book. It took me a while to get through because it's not the type of book where you can read fast. You need to take in every word because Rothfuss writing is just beautiful and enchanting. I'm very curious about the Deanna character though all of them a well written and brings something to the story. I was a bit bugged by Kwothe and how perfect he was until I realized that that in fact was his flaw, believing himself to be perfect. I can't wait for the next one!! But I guess I have to. I waited for so many year on the Harry Potter books that it feel kind of nice to have something to wait for something again.
  9. Thank you! I will add it to my TBR list. I've seen the movie and I liked it! Today I went to the library just to return a book determined not to borrow anything else since I have a ton on my list already. But of couse I cam home with a book it just jumped out right in front of me :-P It's called Then we came to the end by Joshua Ferris and it lookes very promising! I've just started Atonement and i'm loving it so far!!
  10. I think reading 17 book in one month would make you totally awesome! Oh my how did you do that?? Care to share your secret? I've read two I think
  11. That sound like a really interesting book I may have to add it to my list It's dangerous reading everyones book lists cause it makes you own so much longer. I really hope you enjoy the Stieg Larson book, being from Sweden myself I really loved it. My advice is don't give up on it because it starts up a bit slow but really changes after the first 150 pages or so!!
  12. Assassins Apprentice by Robin Hobb Synopsis: Young Fitz is the 'person of dubious parentage' son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father's gruff stableman. He is treated like an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him sectetly tutored in the arts of the assassin. Review: I was really looking forward to reading this book cause I had heard so much good things about it. Unfortunately I was disappointed and that was not because it was a bad book but because the translation into Swedish was just horrible. The translator did the one thing I can't stand which is changing the names into a Swedish version. I can see why she did it since they do have a certain meaning but I hated it. In all other aspects this was a good book but I'm sure it would have been a great book if this had not been such an issue. The story is engaging and you really get to know some interesting characters and I really would recommend it if you like fantasy but also if you don't because even though there are certainly fantasy aspects of the book it offers a lot more then that. I give it a 3/5. This probably would be higher if I had read it in english, which I will do with the next book.
  13. Has anyone tried P90X?? I started 2 weeks ago and I can really feel a difference. I'm more toned and even though I can't really see a difference on the scale, I thik I've lost about 2 pounds I feel a lot better. I feel liked I've been on every diet out there but this time I think I might be able to do it.
  14. Thank you! I'm reading the first one right now, but the translation to swedish is really horrible so it's taking some time. I'll be reading the rest in english.
  15. Me neither, my fingers just get very colorful Never have I ever been able to do those "bendy" yoga moves.
  16. The we would have reached enlightenment. What if the world really ends in 2012?
  17. You MUST read John Greens book Looking for Alaska!! It's amazing!
  18. Thank you! I went back and borrowed the first book instead. It's really good!!
  19. It's the Book Dumbledore gives to Hermione in the Deathly Hallows. In the HP-book we hear the story of the three brothers, but the tales of Beedle the bard contains several fairy tales from the wizarding world. Plus we get to read Dumbledores thoughts about the different stories.
  20. Looking for Alaska by John Green Synopsis: Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words – and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps. Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A stunning debut, it marks John Green’s arrival as an important new voice in contemporary fiction. I can not begin to tell you how much I loved this book. Yes its YA book but it still hit home for me. The story is simple and not at all about what you think in the beginning. I think we've all met this people at some point in our life and that's what makes this book so believable. John Green is an excellent writer and has created some exceptional characters and you will love. I can easily see why they compare this to Catcher in the Rye. It's a simple book about a time that is not simple at all. If you haven't read it, do! I give it 5/5
  21. So I went to the library and came home with Robin Hobbs Fool's errand, only to realize that it's a continuation of another series. Can I still read it without having any other books by her??
  22. Synopsis: While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -- an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others. In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth... Review: This is a book that never slows down and therefor it's hard to actually put it down. You want to know the truth as badly as the main characters does. It's intense, it's though provoking and it makes you question things and made me at least very interested to read more about Da Vinci himself. It's not the best book ever written, it's not going to hang around in the back of my head for years and years. But it was fun while it lasted. I give it: 3/5
