Update #1

Hello There! We are now about 4 1/2 hours into the Read-a-Thon and I am quite pleased with what I've been able to accomplish. I've finished Vampire Academy and I've also read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K.Rowling. Fantastic Beasts and where to find them were not originally on my list, but I needed a super light read.
This puts me at just under 300 pages total, and I'm exited to read some more!

24-hour Read-a-Thon TBR.

Hello There!
The read-a-thon is tomorrow, and starts in less than 24 hours! I'm really exited and have - after staring at my shelf for forever - decided on which books I will be reading.
I will be finishing The Vampire Academy, then I will be starting the Maze Runner. Both have been in my TBR pile for a long time, and it is time to pick them up. As I started Vampire Academy yesterday it is only natural to be finishing it. Then for when I need something familiar and a light read, I will be picking up The Selection.

Welcome.

Hello There!
This is my new blog, and I've wanted to start it for a while now. Ever since I saw people doing 'booktube' back in 2011, I've wanted to do something similar, but then I didn't want to do youtube. I really do not think that standing in front of a camera and talking to nobody isn't something I would want to do at this point in my life. Writing is so much easier.

Now, a few facts about myself. I'm a 10th grader enrolled at a small Norwegian school in the middle of nowhere, and my name is Irene. I've had my difficulties in life, as everyone else has, and I live in my dad's basement. And no, my dad didn't chuck me down here, I chose it. It's almost like living in an apartment, except I get free food, housing, electricity, and of course internet. My sister says I'm an internet addict, but I enjoy books so much more. And that is why my blog is about books and not the internet.

I read mostly YA and some middle-grade books, but in the last year or so I've dove into classics and I've also read a few adult books. And I'm growing to like them, I just need some time. And therefore you will mostly be reading about YA books on this particular blog.

Also I will be participating in Dewey's 24-hour Read-a-Thon this Saturday (26th April) and that is one of the main reasons I am deciding to start this blog right now! And I think it will be an amazing way to get into the whole 'blogging' thing.



I hope you will be checking in!
