Bartimæus trilogien

Hej, det er vidst længe siden jeg har skrevet noget om en bog! Men jeg læser knap så meget som jeg gjorde før, og de bøger jeg finder, er sjældent noget at skrive hjem om.
Jeg vil dog gerne sætte den her anmeldelsen ind, som jeg skrev om en bog på goodreads:

When I started reading fantasy books, I read the really good ones, like Harry Potter and Eragon. At that time, fantasy was my favourite genre, because the books were so original and well written.
Later, I gradually lost interest in the genre, because the books I found really was nothing to write home about: they had all the same topics, predictable storyline and boring characters.
So I started looking into other genres, to find interesting books.

And then I read this one.

It reminded me so much of that time, when fantasy books were great, original and super exciting. (Experiencing happiness from my early teenager-years over again!) This book contains everything a good fantasy book should, and I really love Bartimaeus as a character.
Very well written, Jonathan Stroud!

Så ja, bogen hedder 'Amuletten fra Samarkand' på dansk, og er det første bind i Jonathan Strouds trilogi om troldmandslærlingen Nathan der i en meget ung alder påkalder djinnien Bartimæus. Bartimæus skal hjælpe ham med at hævne sig på troldmanden Simon Lovelace, der gjorde Nathan uret i fortiden. Imidlertid går intet efter planen, og snart mister Nathan kontrol over begivenhedernes gang...
Du kan læse mere om bogen her på goodreads.

Jeg gav bogen fem stjerner, og jeg anbefaler den til alle der har smag for en god fantasy-fortælling.

Dum-dum-dum

Hi blog,
just finished my watercolour-drawing for the art exam. :) I'll post it all in here after I've been to the exam on Tuesday, 'cause I don't think it such a good idea to show it other people before my teacher and the censor gets to see it. But if I should say something, I think that my drawing with pencil is better than my watercolour drawing. Watercolours are so hard to control. (Speaking of art exam, I should probably start making my speaking-paper instead of blogging. .__.)

Anyway, I'd be so great when the exam is over, and I finally can prepare for my trip to Canada. Well, honestly I hate packing, and travelling of at long timespan, but I'm exited for finally leaving Europe and seeing something new. I love travelling and experience new areas and cultures.
For the long flight my boyfriend promised to download me LOST season 2 (yaaay!), or some other films I haven't seen before on my iPod, so I won't get bored in the plane. And I'm planning on taking (at least) 2-3 books with me. :x I really hope there's enough room in my luggage.

I checked the weatherrepport, and I found out they have the most awesome weather in Montreal.. mmmhmm. <3 I'm so much looking forward to that, especially after this hell of rain in fucking Denmark. Jeez, sometimes I wonder why I even live here. <_<'

Uh, and I also cleaned up my room, bathroom and guest room today. You always get that good feeling afterwards, because you did something useful. 

Hmm, now I probably shold prepare for the exam. Gaaarg, pull myself together. ._.

Later.
