För jag har slagit i huvudet...

....Och är sugen på att läsa på engelska. Prisa gudarna eller vad är det man säger? Surfar runt som vanligt och hamnade av en slump inne på Goodreads, hittade masssoooooooor med böcker som låter jätteintressanta och bra och läsvärda. Fina omslag har de också, verkligen superfina. En del utav mig undrar varför jag föddes i Sverige och inte något engelskttalande land, eller i värsta fall kunde jag ju ha fått lite bättre språkkunskaper?! När det kommer en text på engelska i sociala medier så tänker jag direkt, nej inte engelska euuuuw orkar inte kan inte förstår inte haha! Men egentligen kan jag, jag har bara inte tålamodet. Vet inte hur många gånger min lärare på gymnasiet satt och tragglade böjbara (och allt annat, har glömt bort hehe) verb med mig. Räcker ju med att jag kan göra mig förstådd i alla fall?!

Vi får se hur länge jag har slagit i huvudet och fått en knäpp, det kan vara så att jag beställer hem dessa böcker eller så kommer jag låtsats om att detta inlägg aldrig har existerat. Återstår att se! 


Twelve-year-old Emily is on the move again. Her family is relocating to San Francisco, home of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, creator of the online sensation Book Scavenger, a game where books are hidden all over the country and clues to find them are revealed through puzzles. But Emily soon learns that Griswold has been attacked and is in a coma, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch. Then Emily and her new friend James discover an odd book, which they come to believe is from Griswold and leads to a valuable prize. But there are others on the hunt for this book, and Emily and James must race to solve the puzzles Griswold left behind before Griswold's attackers make them their next target.
