Dewey's Readathon First Hour

*Med tanke på at Dewey's Readathon er internasjonalt, skriver jeg dette innlegget på engelsk*

Dewey's Readathon has officially started and I decided to join in on the opening meme and Bookish Playlist Challenge.

I'm reading and blogging from Bryne, Norway and I'm currently studying at University of Stavanger, undergrad level, majoring in English language and literature (yeah, "slightly" bibliophile, I admit that one).

One of the books I'm looking forward to reading is Animal Farm by George Orwell, but I do look forward reading all of my books in my readathon pile really. I've also stashed up some snacks, like chocolate donuts and cinnamon buns that will be eaten sooner or later.

I've participated in earlier readathons and I've figured out that it's a lot easier to read several shorter and/or lighter works, like graphic novels, poetry collections and novellas, so my TBR-pile is highly influenced by that.

When I saw the Bookish Playlist Challenge, I decided to show you a couple songs inspired by works of Shakespeare, since it is after all his birthday today (and World Book Day, for that matter).

The first song is Wytches' Brew by Omnia, inspired by the play Macbeth.


The second song I thought of, was O Mistress Mine by Emilie Autumn, inspired by the play Twelfth Night.

      Er jo litt kjekt at det finnes noen jærske bokbloggerer, bare for å vise at en "trenger" ikke å bo i Oslo eller andre store byer for å kunne være blogger. :-P

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
