Hello!

My name is Liz and I'm 24 years old and in the northern part of Sweden, in a city called Luleå. I live together with my boyfriend Linus. I study to become an English and History teacher for Upper Secondary School.

I love to read books and to discover new books to read. Since I was 12 years old or something like that... more »

    Hi! I had the same problem with the Amazon sign in as well. I had Jim see if he could go back to the normal sign in, but he did it on my net book and not the regular computer, so it's fixed on the net book but not on the computer. Alix had hers figured out right away and didn't have to bother with Amazon. I don't like that they did that!!

    Anyway, I just finished reading Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I thought it was pretty good. He is a good author, he makes you think about the story long after you have finished the book. I'm not sure what I am going to read next. Do you have any recommendations?

    How's work going? Does it seem as if any of your substitute teaching jobs could lead to a permanent position? I hope so :) What age group do you like working with the most?

    Well, take care and happy reading! :) Hope to hear from you soon :)

    Hi! No worries, it's just like old times....before we started talking on MSN! I'm fine, and am glad that you have been working a lot.

    I'm not sure that I have "Little Star" available to read but, I am going to read "Harbour" by John Ajvide Lindqvist soon. I just finished "The Preacher" by Camilla Lackberg and really liked it. Right now, I think I am going to read "Secrets From the Grave" by Tami Hoag. It is not exactly a sequel to "Deeper than the Dead", the last book I read by her, but it has some of the same characters in it. What is really interesting about these books is that they are about the early days of FBI profiling and about the DNA that was collected. At that time in 1985 and 1986 when the stories take place, DNA testing was not as accurate as they are today and didn't carry as much weight in trials as they do now.

    In "The Preacher", I was kind of sad about the ending, about the police not getting to the girl in time. If this were an American novel she would have been rescued just in the nick of time. Jim and I were discussing this difference in British, American and Scandinavian literature. He said the ending was more realistic; that the Brits and Swedes and most of the rest of the world don't expect fairy tale endings like Americans do. I have to admit that sometimes I do want that fairy tale ending. I was also disappointed that Erica Falck didn't have more of a story line and that it was more about Patrik. I hope the next book will have more of Erica involved in an investigation, though seeing as how she will have a baby on her hands, I don't think that will happen.

    I hope you will get your package soon! I am sorry about your presents not getting here, but we did like the Haribo candies and thank you for them :)

    You take care as well and hope to talk to you soon! Miss you! Happy Valentines Day, I hope you and Linus have a good one and do something nice :) Happy reading :)

    Hi! How are you? I'm doing well :) I can't wait for "Little Star" to come over here, "Manniskohamn" hasn't been translated in the States yet, maybe England - they usually get stuff before we do. I had to order "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" from Amazon UK just to read it sooner! Also, thanks for the translation of "Handling the Undead". I like to hear the actual Swedish titles. ( I noticed that I butchered the titles in the last note I sent :P) Alix is reading it now and is glad that it is not as gory as "Let the Right One In". That one was a little too creepy for her :P

    I am reading "Heat Wave" at the moment. There is a television show called "Castle" and I'm not sure if the show came first or the book came later. Anyway, the book is harmless, good fun....a light read in other words. Sometimes that's all you need in a book.

    Well, take care and hope to talk to you soon :) Happy reading!

    I forgot to ask if you had heard anything from your post office. I hope so, at least so you can be reimbursed. I hope our package gets to you!
    Right now I am reading The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg. So far, it has been pretty good.
    Happy reading!

    Hi Liz! How are you? I miss talking to you! I just finished reading Handling the Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Isn't it called Manniskolmann or something close to that in Swedish? I really liked the book, though it was much different than Let the Right One In. What did you think? You probably read it a long time ago, since it's taken awhile to get it translated into English. Has he written any new books besides the sequel he wrote in Pappersvagen? Hope to hear from you soon. Take care and happy reading!

    Nu har jag äntligen fått tummen ur och registrerat mina böcker på boktipset. De flesta böcker finns ju faktiskt i databasen också. För en svensk bokkonsument passar utbudet bättre än Shelfaris.
    Påfallande ofta stämmer också betygsestimaten väldigt bra. Det ska bli riktigt kul att börja gräva bland rekommendationerna nästa gång jag ska köpa böcker. Det är precis den typen av tjänst jag varit ute efter.
    Tusen tack för tipset!

    Hi! I haven't posted a note to you in awhile and just felt like doing that today. :) Besides having to write your essay, I hope you are enjoying your summer vacation. Have you started your summer job yet? If you have, I hope you like it. It makes life so much easier if you do. There is nothing worse than thinking "I hate my job, do I really have to go in today". :P[br/][br/]When is your essay due? Do you have until the fall semester to finish it? And when you do, will school be over and done with? Does your university help you find a job after that or are you all on your own in looking for a job? Sorry for all the questions :P It's just been awhile since we've spoken. I've been busy reading...a lot of Hakan Nesser's books which have been really good. What I like about him is that he uses quite a bit of humor in his books. I also recently read a Lynda La Plante novel that was most excellent. She is an English author and I really liked Above Suspicion because it was different from most crime thrillers and mysteries.[br/]Hope it doesn't take 2 or 3 months for you to get your package. Well, take care and talk to you soon.[br/]Happy reading! :)

    hello!
    Sorry about taking so long to get back to you. So much has been going on, I've just barely been on this site.
    Hopefully everything is going well for you! I see you finished "My Sister's Keeper" I've always wanted to read that book. Did you finish"Crime and Punishment", if so would you recommend reading it? What are you reading now?

    I would recommend reading Emma, it was one of my absolute favourite books that I read last year. Right now I'm reading "The Sword and the Stone" which is the first part of the "Once and Future King" by T.H. White. I'm loving the story and if I'm correct Disney made a movie out of it, but I've never seen it. Have you watched the Disney movie?
    Talk to you soon!

    Aldrig sett förut faktiskt. Mycket intressant. Särskilt "Här skulle Boktipset räknat ut vilka böcker som passat dig, om du hade varit medlem!". Det låter fint.
    Det är en sån funktion jag letat efter och det var det som fick mig att hitta hit men här saknas ju den funktionen. De har ju något som heter "members adding the same books" eller något men den är ju skrattretande simpel.
    Funkar tipsen bra på Boktipset?

    Jag får väl gå med och testa antar jag. Synd att det ska ta sån tid att registrera sina böcker igen bara...
    Finns de flesta böcker registrerade hos dem eller saknar de också böcker? Jag upplever själv att bortemot hälften av mina Svenska böcker saknas här på Shelfari vilket suger en smula.

    Tack för tipset!

    Hej! I see that you finished Manniskohamn and you gave it four stars. What was it about? This one isn't about vampires is it? You liked Phantom of the Opera too, and I know what you mean about there being no perspective from the Phantom.
    I've been reading a young adult fiction book that Alix had liked and we just watched the movie that the book was based on. I feel kind of silly reading Y. A., but the books are usually pretty good. I am also reading Mind's Eye by Hakan Nesser. So far it seems promising.
    I see that you found Per B. Have you told him about Boktipset? He had told me that there weren't enough Swedish books on Shelfari, so I thought he might like that, especially since it's Swedish. Alix still uses it and says that it is easy enough to understand (or navigate through it) anyway. She says that I should join it as well, so I probably will.
    I liked the book Missing by Karin Alvtegen, yet I thought the ending was kind of rushed, if you know what I mean.
    Take care, hopefully talk to you soon. Farmville was so messed up for a couple of days, that I didn't spend much time there. It was sooo slooow... Finally, yesterday it was performing normally and I got everything done that I needed to. I am playing three farms after all :P Alix stopped playing FV and I took over her farm...playing Jim's as well. Talk about being loony and obsessed, and spending too much time on FV :P
    Sorry for being so long winded! Happy reading!

    Hej! I liked The Phantom of the Opera. Wish I had taken French when I was in High School though, I would have had a better time with pronunciation and understanding some things that weren't translated :P You took French didn't you? Anyway, in the book I read, in the introduction and notes throughout the book, they made it sound like Gaston Leroux actually believed there really was an Opera Ghost! In any case, I enjoyed the book. Let me know what you think about it when you are finished with it. :)

    You didn't write a lot of nonsense, no worries :) If anyone does it is me ;) I just finished The Green Mile by Stephen King, loved it by the way, though it was sad and I cried a couple of times. :P I've just started Missing by Karin Alvtegen, so far it seems pretty good. Have you read anything by her?

    Everything is fine here and hope all is okay with you. Hope to talk to you soon. Happy reading :)
