Fifty-Two Weeks [week 14]

My little stack of photography books :) The top one is the Humans of New York book. Love the concept of what he (Brandon Stanton) does, and bought myself the book as an early christmas present last year. The book has been an inspiration, and has also in part fuelled my dreams of going to New York.There is also the HONY Facebook page, giving you your fix right there as you are wasting time on Facebook ;)

Fifty-Two Weeks [week 10]

So Thursday this week was World Book Day. I have a bit of a thing for books, you could say.. These are some books I've gotten in the last couple of months. Currently they actually live on my desk, in a pile, because I've run out of room in my bookcase.. I was 11 or 12 I think when I read my first fantasy novel - it was The Belgariad by David Eddings. Now, I was a bit of a book enthusiast before then; but those books are what got me into the fantasy (and later sic-fi) genre. I stopped reading novels translated into Swedish when I was about 16 and I got fed up of waiting for the latest book in the Wheel of Time series. Got the English one from the school library, and haven't looked back since. To this day however, I have still not read The Belgariad in English.

To be honest I have not been reading as much as I used to in the last few years. And really, I need to stop buying more books - I've got plenty of them which I haven't read yet already. I got myself a Kindle a couple of years ago, but I don't know.. there something special about an actual book. The last book I read was The Shack, which I got for christmas 2012. I read the first half on my way over to Sweden for christmas, and the other half on my way back home. Just could not put it down when I started reading it.
