Books of March

I know this is a day early, but I think I'll be too busy actually doing this tomorrow and I have time now that I'm eating lunch. And as I have grown up here in Sweden, I believe punctuality is a key to success. In other words, I prefer it early than late.

I used to do this monthly post on Bubbly Lolita too, but there will be some difference now. Before I only listed books I was reading or finished...

So, to what I'm currently reading:
What you can see in this section is what I'm reading, but instead of just listing the books and authors, language I'm reading in is also listed from now on. I also decided to show if it's a borrowed copy, if it's my copy or if it's perhaps online, by categorize them,. I also added comics I'm reading. I could list many here, but it's just those I read a lot from recently and hope to finish very soon.

Library copies
Tomorrow, When the War Began (John Marsden, Swedish)

My mother's copies
Ronia, the Robber's Daughter (Astrid Lindgren, Finnish)

Online 
1/2 Prince (Yu Wo, English)

My copies
End in Tears (Ruth Rendell, Swedish)
David Copperfield (Charles Dickens, Swedish)
Mei wenti! Inga problem! Om livet i dagens Kina (Catarina Liliehöök, Swedish)*

Comics
Emma (Kaoru Mori)
Gravitation (Maki Murakami)

* I don't know if these are available in English.

What I finished during the month:
I didn't read a lot, but I finished The Da Vinci Code, which I reviewed yesterday. A close call - I'm aware of that - but at least I finished it!

Next month's goal:
I think a goal can do wonders. As I have said and most likely will say there are many way of feeling good about yourself and one of them are having a goal. Never set your goal too high. I could set up the goal "read and review 4 books next month", but even though I've once been an avid reader, I am still only getting back to reading. Therefore my goal for April is read and review John Marsden's book as well as starting another book I'm borrowing from the library.

Now with that finished... Here's a picture of my bedside table!

My bedside table is naturally always filled with books.

That's a Harry Potter pillow case right there! I prefer sleeping on my other pillows though. I mostly use that one as back support when I'm reading. I don't mind Harry Potter though. Actually I love Harry Potter! I do mind Dan who acts Harry Potter. He was adorable in the first film so I shouldn't feel any aversion against that specific pillowcase, but I just can't get over how much I disliked him in the third film. I couldn't even get through the fourth film because of the third. Oh. Daniel Radcliffe, how I dislike you!

Back to the books. I have them in three piles, from left to right - my and my mother's copies I'm going to read, the library copies I'm going to read and the reading diary, currently reading. The pile on the floor is read and I'm supposed to take them back to the library. If I have to give books back to some person, it usually end up beside the library-pile. And finally, the picture book is "Koirien Kalevala" (Finnish, roughly translated "Kalevala of the dogs" or "The dogs' Kalevala") which I am slowly read a page of every now and then. I like looking at the illustrations, which is why it's open like that. (laughs)

Okay, now my lunch's eaten and I have an errand I need to do as soon as possible, so I guess this is the end of this quite long post that was supposed to be aonly about books, but just happened to be a bit about my dislike for the Harry Potter-actor... (laughs)
