Bog anmeldelse: Grå magi af Lene Krog
Bog anmeldelse af Grå Magi Grå Magi af Lene Krog er første bind i fantasy serien Pigen fra Månehøjen. Jeg har modtaget bogen som et anmeldereksemplar af forlaget Ulven og Uglen. Grå magi – Pigen fra Månehøjen 1 “Et svagt minde fortalte Aia, at det ikke var første gang hun havde oplevet livet svinde. Pludseligt dukkede det op ud af tågen. En blodrød genspejling af himlen og en fortabt erkendelse af, at det var sådan, det endte. Ligesom nu. På Vidar Baltzers ordrer har de Grå taget kontrol over Bragimark og ransager landet for magiske evner. Hekse og marlinger forsvinder på stribe, men i skyggerne hviskes der om oprør. Aia…

What I read in May 2020
What I read in May 2020 It’s time to find out what I read in May 2020. Let’s wrap up the month and see what books I read, liked, didn’t like and more. I’ll also dive into a few readathons I’ve participated in. Maybe I made progress on my reading challenges in May 2020? First of all, I just want to stress the fact that I don’t see reading as a competition and I do have months where I don’t read anything, and other times where I read a lot of books. It all depends on my mood, my sparetime and whatever else is going on. So please, don’t feel…

OWLs Magical Readathon 2020
OWLs Magical Readathon 2020 In April, I participated in the OWLs Magical Readathon 2020 hosted by Book Roast. It’s a reading event that took place during the month of April 2020. The theme lines up with the wizarding world of Harry Potter and it’s about “taking your magical exams” also known as the “O.W.L.s”. This is done by reading a certain type of book for each subject that you would imagine attending. So, what did I actually manage to read for this event and how many “subjects” did I complete? I read a lot of books in April, although not all of them fit the criteria and thus didn’t count…

Playlist Readathon 2020
Playlist Readathon 2020 This blogpost about the Playlist Readathon will be in Danish, since the readathon announcement is by Danish booktuber Blossoming Reading. The Playlist Readathon 2020 af Josefine May er en læseudfordring for april måned 2020. Josefine May offentliggjorde udfordringen på hendes youtube kanal og har lavet rigtig flot grafik til også, så man kunne downloade det og være med i udfordringen. The Playlist Readathon går ud på at man vælger et årti (eller flere), som man gerne vil “læse”. Til hvert årti er der 5 stikord eller ‘prompts’, og så gælder det om at finde en bog, der passer til. Da jeg også læste til OWLs Magical Readathon…
