Book Blogger Hop; Kveldslesing

Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer har det ukentlige temaet Book Blogger Hop, og denne ukens spørsmål var "When you settle in for the night with a good book, do you read until you can't stay awake or simply have a nightly page goal?".
Jeg tilhører blant de personene som sliter med å sovne på kvelden, men jeg prøver å lese i gjennomsnitt 75-100 sider før jeg legger boka fra meg.

      I almost wish I could do that, as I have issues falling asleep (four hours at most).

    I tend to sleep better if I read right before bed. I no longer read myself to sleep like I used to though. Maybe when my daughter is older . . .

Top Ten Tuesday; Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time

Image
It's Tuesday, which means it's time for another Top Ten Tuesday post courtesy of  That Artsy Reader Girl  and today's topic is books I wish I couldr read again for the first time. Here's my ten picks. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness Description from Goodreads Deep in the heart of Oxford's Bodleian Library, Diana Bishop—a young scholar and the descendant of witches—unearths an enchanted alchemichal manuscript. Wanting nothing to do with sorcery, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery has set a fantastical underworld stirring, and soon a horde of daemons, witches, and other creatures descends upon the library. Among them is the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, a vampire with a keen interest in the book. Equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense, A Discovery of Witches is a mesmerizing and addictive tale of passion and obsession that reveals the closely guarded secrets of an enchanted world. The Woman in Black by Susan Hill Description...

Omtale; Djevelen i den hvite byen; mord, magi og mani på verdensutstillingen som forandret USA av Erik Larson

Image
For et par år siden var jeg såpass heldig at jeg fikk tilsendt et leseeksemplar av boka Djevelen i den hvite byen av Erik Larson fra forlaget. Jeg har til slutt somlet meg til å lese boka og i dag kommer omtalen av den. Beskrivelse fra forlaget Djevelen i den hvite byen er en skrekkelig og altoppslukende true crime om USAs første kjente seriemorder! Boken har ligget i over 350 uker på NY Times bestselgerliste, og det blir film i 2017 med Martin Scorsese i registolen og Leonardo DiCaprio i hovedrollen. Året er 1893. Chicago har fått æren av å arrangere den prestisjefylte verdensutstillingen. Ambisjonen er å overgå Paris, som fire år tidligere slo verden med undring og begeistring, ikke minst takket være Gustave Eiffels tårn. En gruppe unge, ambisiøse arkitekter og ingeniører klarer å bygge "den hvite byen" på rekordtid, og 28 millioner besøkende får smake CornFlakes, kjøpe glidelås, se levende film og kjøre pariserhjul for første gang. Mange av de besøkende er unge kvinne...

Review; Skoolie!: How to Convert a School Bus or Van into a Tiny Home or Recreational Vehicle by Will Sutherland

Image
Last year I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC of the non-fiction book Skoolie!: How to Convert a School Bus or Van into a Tiny Home or Recreational Vehicle by Will Sutherland through Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards, but I haven't published my review until now. Description from Goodreads School buses that have been converted into mobile living spaces — known as skoolies — are a natural extension of the tiny house craze. Buses are not only easier and safer to drive than an RV, they provide a jump-start on the conversion process with frame, roof, and floor already in place. Experienced builder Will Sutherland, whose creative school bus conversions have been featured in Road and Track and Popular Mechanics, is behind the wheel of this alluring look at life on the road. In addition to profiles of eight fellow skoolie fans and stunning photos of bus interiors designed for simple living, Skoolie! does what no other book on the subject has — it offers a complete, step-by-...
