First Graphic Novel – Nimona
Blog , Book Haul , TBR / July 26, 2015

I never ever thought I would read a graphic novel, but after watching way too many TBR videos on YouTube and seeing all these great reviews of graphic novels I guess I changed my mind. So today I ordered the graphic novel Nimona by Noelle Stevenson. It’ll get here in a few days, so then I’ll read it and see what it is. Maybe I’ll actually like it, who knows. You can get it at Amazon.

Book order

A few days ago I went to Geoffery Storm’s Website and ordered his novel Progeny of Gods, which I am really excited about. The book was super cheap, I mean how can one even sell a book for $9? Maybe books here in Sweden are just overly priced, cause I found $9 to be super cheap. But I am really glad that the book wasn’t more expensive since I had to pay loads for the shipping. That’s what happens when you decide to live at the end of the world, and this time the shipping was $16, so almost twice as much as the book. I would have considered getting the E-Book instead, had the cover not been so incredibly amazing. I just had to have this book and it didn’t really matter the cost at this point. I also did read the first chapter free on Amazon, and it was great. I love the writing so far and I can’t wait to get this book. Visit Geoffery Storm to get your own copy.

July TBR/Wrap Up
Blog , TBR , Wrap Up / July 24, 2015

Ok, so this month is already over, but I am still hoping I can manage to complete one more book. I am currently reading Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson, but I haven’t really gotten that far in yet, so I am not sure whether I’ll be able to finish it before August begins. So far I am kind of getting a bit of an X-men feeling, which unfortunately isn’t a good feeling to have. Not that I have anything against X-men, I rather love X-men series, but it’s already done. But, hopefully Brandon will surprise me as I get further into the novel. Which he most likely will and I am sure I’ll love this book (I was so sure I even got the sequel before starting the this first one). It’s not like July has been “reading free”, but the stuff I have been reading isn’t published yet, so I can’t really talk about it. I’ve been doing quite a lot of Beta Reading and stuff like that too, and combined with a total of 60k words written on my new novel (Resistance) there hasn’t been much time for anything else. I did read two books this month and those…

Writer’s Blog
Blog / July 23, 2015

I woke up during the night one day and just had he idea that I should make a website dedicated to my book reviews and to my own writing. So even if I tend to be a very lazy blogger, I thought ‘why not’. So here goes. At first this place will probably be a bit empty and boring, but I hope to fill it with some good stuff eventually. Until then, all I can tell you so far is that I am currently working on two different novels that I hope to publish sometime later this year. One of them is finished to the extent that it’s now being sent to an editor. Then there’s this whole thing about revisions and all, but maybe you can get it before the end of the year. More information about my novels will be added to this page in time.

by Rick Yancey This book is probably not the worst I’ve read, but it sure isn’t the best. It’s an OK book, nothing else. Personally I don’t like the style of writing, I find it confusing, repetitive and “jumpy”. One moment we’re in present tense, the next it past tense. It also feels like some events are skipped and you’re not sure about what’s really happening. Sentences feel backwards and…I don’t know how to explain it other than to say it took at least two reads to make sense of some sentences. The first half was decent (and here I kind of liked Cassie’s voice) and I managed to read that in just a day, but the second half of the book took me so much longer and I had to fight to read it to the end. Also, Cassie’s voice seemed to change and she became forgettable and boring, and just faded out into oblivion. Cassie started out an annoying whiny girl and ended up just the same, which is ashame. Also the whole POV thing was super confusing at times and you had to go back several paragraphs sometimes just do double check who was talking since it…

by Heather Choate I want to start by saying that this book is not bad (I have read much worse), and the writing is good. I do however have serious issues with so many things in this book that I just couldn’t give it more than two stars on Goodreads, and the only reason it went from one to two stars was because I kind of liked the writing. The main plot is OK and it’s a very different thing than anything I have ever read before, so kudos to the writer for that. But I had to really work to read this book from beginning to end. The first half went on pretty smoothly, but then second half never seemed to stop, the book just went on forever. The book should have ended about 4-5 chapters sooner in my opinion, that would have made more sense and been a much better opening for the sequel. And I am so sorry, because I wanted to like this book. I really wanted to. Want to know what it was that annoyed me? Read below and find out. —- Spoilers below —-
