Finally access to infinite internet!!!!!
 Well not really infinite, grandma's internet is not really gaming speed. But such a lovely thing. I am really an internet addict if you haven't noticed already. So much information at the tips of my fingers!

But yeah, this is what we've been up to, me and Diederik: In Lindesberg we spent alot of money but we're not sure on what. We swam in the lake, we went fishing with my entire (male) side of my mom's family, we shared a pizza by the river, made patterns with beads, we went to the pub with my cousin and his friends, we went to Mora (and there we bought loads of stuff) and we cooked our symbol dish (pasta, pesto & chicken) for my grandparents (their praising would never stop ^^).
     Now we're in Stockholm, at my other grandma's place, we arrived yesterday, early. Diederik sat with the computer all day and I sat with my current book all day. Among the stuff we bought in Mora, I purchased the sequel to an amazing book. I don't want to recommend the books to anyone but those that feel they are a bit like me. I don't know who or how many that likes them, because they feel tailor fit to me. I have been waiting for so long for this sequel and I'm reading it in english (the covers are much more beautiful in the original language and I simply can't wait for the translated version).
 The books are called The Glassbooks of the Dreameaters and The Dark Volume, by Gordon W. Dahlquist. I think a third and final book is coming too. They are dark, taking place in a Victorian fictious England, a bit of steampunk, a bit of philosophy, good and evil. But the three main characters are amazing. Not very surprising I mainly recognize myself in the fierce Miss Temple, rich and spoiled, but later on experienced and pondering much of what makes a woman respectable and noble. She turns into everything she always looked down on, but still remains her true self. The other two, a battered assassin called Cardinal Chang and the german doctor Svenson are both intriguing, complexed figures. And of course there's a great MYSTERY and a conspiration. Great stuff.
While I'm at it, i should recommend another triology, the books about Abarat, by Clive Barker. All three are out in english, but I'm not sure if the last one is translated yet. They are a darker, deeper and more believable Narnia. The human child, deliberately leaving this world for another, where unbelievable creatures live and fight for the good and the bad. Once again, good characters and a plot that makes you turn page after page.

But before this turns into a massive book review, here is pictures of recent events.
