I noticed that I've totally forgotten to update about this. I'm loving it! It's a story about the first convicts from Britain to move to Australia. Such an interesting topic! I've read something about this from the history books. 😊

Found the book bag on the right yesterday. I hope it will succesfully protect books in my backbag because they tend to get damaged sometimes. 📚

Just watched a documentary about Sylvia Plath. This was so good and so well made that I would easily watch it again! It was interesting to see the 50's from her point of view and hear the story of her life told by people close to her.

Food and The Testaments

Reading this. This is a non-fiction book. It's called The Travel guide to the medieval Finland and it tells exactly about that. The life of people in different classes and the different tribes and the area itself and so on. It's really interesting! 😊

Such a good book! ❤ Gave me so much to think about. This book feels so real and it's written so well! I highly recommend this to anyone interested in reflecting their careers or hoping to find out how to go forward with life. 😊

Finally my summer holiday reading arrived via mail. My holiday ended a week ago so now I have some light reading for the upcoming fall. 🍁🍂 😁

So true!

Classic horror. When reading Susan Hill you can count on good stories. Nice summer read. 😊👻

This was entertaining! I think the Jo Nesbø atmosphere is not quite there yet since this is one of his early books but it's close. Also why put an Ikea knife on the cover if it clearly doesn't make an appearance in the book? The description of knifes in this book are very detailed so the person who made the cover could find all the needed info for the right kind of knife in the book if they wanted. 🤔

I wonder what thoughts these kind of books bring to men who read them? 🤔

So this just happened! 😍❤🎊🎉🎈

Saw these on a second hand store window. They are beautiful! 😍❤

I've been visiting libraries of Helsinki lately today I went to one of my new favourites. ❤📚

Sometimes even books don't help. My cousin died of brain cancer a few weeks ago. Today was his funeral. I found this book on a table from his house. Maybe he got hope from it? Maybe it made him think that he could do something about it? Or did he ever even get a chance to read it? There aren't so many situations where books don't make things better but this might be one of those...

Started this. I work in a field (IIoT) that consists mostly of men. Reading books like this makes me feel conflicting. I'm so lucky to live somewhere where these things are a bit easier than in some other places but I still recognize many of the issues in this book and others like it. The road seems to be long. Sometimes I wish I wasn't the only woman around in each meeting, team and project. ☹

Decided to bail on this. It started as a good read but as I progressed I realised that this is a wrong book for me to read at this point. I would need to read first some basics of facilitating.

This is about networking in general. It gives tips and tools how to broaden your networks and tells how people can progress in their careers through their networks. I liked that this was written from Nordic point of view because networking is somewhat related to culture I think. Atleast when I have gone through tips about networking from Youtube etc. some of the tips are not usable in Finland but this book took that into consideration. 😊

Breafast at the balcony. 😋🍵🥣

I_Love_This_Book! 😍 I can't believe how little people are talking about this. This is so good! I just have to order the rest of the series. 😁 Good thing about finding books this old is that no need to wait the publishing of next parts of the series because they are already out. 😊📚

Aaand I'm done! It's already Monday here and my total reading time was 24h 15m! Made it!!! 😁🎈🎉 #24B4Monday

Just hit 21 hours reading time. Funny, I'll be reaching my 24 hours exactly as the clock strikes midnight. 😁📚 #24B4Monday

On to the next horror story for this readathon! 🤓👻 It's still relatively bearable weather outside. Have to make use of it before it becomes too hot and read on the balcony. Today will be the hotest day of the weekend. Tomorrow it will be cooler. 😊 #24B4Monday

Morning reading. Almost 15 hours done. 😁 #24B4Monday

Some midnight reading. I'd love to have some tea with this but it's wayyy too hot here for tea even in the middle of the night. Weather reports say early next week will be cooler. I'm so hoping that's true! 🥵 #24B4Monday

Book about crazy leaders. This tells about the brains of human and how they work and what should leaders know about the human brain. It's a pretty interesting read! (The tagged book is not the right one but Litsy didn't have this one) 😁 #24B4Monday

First horror story finished from this one just as I hit the 10h mark on my #24B4Monday challenge. Just perfectly freezing horror for such a hot sunny summer day! ☀️😁

A bit more work themed reading. This is about facilitative leadership. This seems to hold a lot of new information for me. #24B4Monday 😊

Had to move my reading nook back to inside because it became way too hot for reading on the balcony. I usually read horror during summer and this I started today and it just feels perfect! Traditional horror stories. ❤ #24B4Monday

First book of the #24B4Monday readathon done! This gave good tips on decision making. It had a lot of familiar info in it but it was nice to read them through with research material and real life examples. I recommend this to anyone who is involved in decision making in bigger teams or in complicated issues.

Just decided to join #24B4Monday readathon. I've been looking for a perfect readathon to do during my summer vacation and found this unexpectedly. Even though I'm a bit late to start I'm confident that I can get a lot of reading done before Monday. Just yesterday visited the library for some new material by coincidence. 😁📚

This book makes me think of the decision making process of a person in a new light. I read this in the hopes of becoming a better project leader. The real life examples are amazing! I'd post a picture of couple of pages but they are in Finnish. ☹

Visited a library today and found a bit more reading for work. 😊📚

A bit of work reading. I liked it even though I think he should have focussed more on the leading part. I mean told more about how to lead the different people types and so on. It would have made a much better book. Most things from the first part of this book he already told in his earlier book Surrounded by idiots.

This isn't in Litsy's library. This book tells the stories of 39 women from Turku who lived during the middle ages. They are collected from legal documents from the time. Really interesting read! Learned a lot of new things from people's lifes during that time period in Turku and also Sweden.

I have this rule that when I reach 100 pages mark with a book I'll decide to either read it through or bail. This one I decided to bail. Just couldn't get into the story&characters at all. I felt like this book would have needed a bit more editing. I rarely leave books unfinished because I like to finish what I start but this just isn't for me. ☹

I must say I'm considering abandoning this... I've read a bit over 100 pages and I'm not feeling it at all... 🤔 Opinions? Does it pick up from here?

I started my holiday last week. Usually in the start of my summer holiday I treat myself with a visit to the book store. Here is my summer 2019 pile. Usually during summer I turn to horror/other tough subjects so that's why my reading list looks so dark, deep and interesting. 😍

Started reading this. The start feels very promising! 😊

I started reading this few days ago. I must say that this is totally new territory for me. I've never before read anything about the lifestyle of rich Asians or Singapore. This feels interesting already! 🤔

So this is new; buy a book of poems and get a free bucket with the book. 🤔

Well this wasn't what I expected! I thought this was something close to David Baldacci but it ended up more like The Maze Runner. I think this is a good book but the first part could learn something from The Maze Runner. I think it could have given the reader a bit more info and/or breathing breaks to make it more interesting right from the beginning. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series! 😊

Wow! This started getting good fast! 😍 Yesterday I was almost ready to give this up. Now I'm totally hooked! Reminds me a bit of The Maze Runner. 🤔

There they are! All my books excluding Stephen Kings because those are already in order. I just love seeing these! 😍

I decided it's time for a cleanup. During my move I just pushed all the books in these shelfs and left them there. Now that I've gotten my life together and started reading again I've noticed that I never find anything from here. Hoping to change that tonight. 📚

I'm on the page 125. Now would be the perfect time for the main character to get over his headache, pick up the story and do something worth reading... ☹

Such a heart aching read! There are some glimpses of hope in this book. Even more so than in the earlier parts of this series but it's still a very tough read. The parts about the Syrian refugee camps and the human rights issues involving them were especially difficult to get through.
