Book review : The fame game

From Goodreads:

In Hollywood, fame can be found on every corner and behind any door. You just have to know where to look for it. Nineteen-year-old Madison Parker made a name for herself as best frenemy of nice-girl-next-door Jane Roberts on the hot reality show L.A. Candy. Now Madison's ready for her turn in the spotlight and she'll stop at nothing to get it. Sure, she's the star of a new show, but with backstabbing friends and suspicious family members trying to bring her down, Madison has her work cut out for her. Plus, there's a new nice girl in "reality" town—aspiring actress Carmen Price, the daughter of Hollywood royalty—and she's a lot more experienced at playing the fame game... When the camera's start rolling, whose star will shine brighter?

My opinion:

I can honestly say that this book took me by surprise. This is the first book by Lauren Conrad that I have read, and that made this book a bit confusing in the start to be honest. However... That does not mean that you can't read the book. I enjoyed this book very much. The book is a light read and is perfect to take with you on any vacation. 

The downside is, that the story does feel flat at some points... cheesy points. It is not the best book out there on the marked, but if you like chick lit books and the celebrity life, then this book is for you.

Review - One hundred names

From Goodreads:
Journalist Kitty Logan's career is being destroyed by scandal - and now she faces losing the woman who guided and taught her everything she knew. At her terminally ill friend's bedside, Kitty asks - what is the one story she always wanted to write? The answer lies in a file buried in Constance's office: a list of one hundred names. There is no synopsis, nothing to explain what the story is or who these people are. The list is simply a mystery. But before Kitty can talk to her friend, it is too late. With everything to prove, Kitty is assigned the most important task of her life: to write the story her mentor never had the opportunity to. Kitty not only has to track down and meet the people on the list, but find out what connects them. And, in the process of hearing ordinary people's stories, she starts to understand her own

My opinion:

I had been eyeing this book for a while, and I was so lucky that I got it for christmas, from my bf's grandmother.

This book is kind of a cheesy chick lit book, but it works. I found myself smiling and rooting for different characters throughout the book. It is a light read. I can honestly say that because I finished the book in two days - I just couldn't put it down.

Cecelia Ahern is one of my favorite authors, so I knew I wouldn't be disapointed with this book. BUT to be honest, yes the book is good, but it is not her best

I recommend this book if you like girly/chick lit books

If you are a bookworm and are on goodreads, please add me there. I like to get inspiration from all over

I hope you guys had a great start to the week

Book Haul

Hey guys, so this is the first haul of 2013 :O

I am sure lots are to come lol

I went in the the "local" bookstore, and I was only going to buy one book, and somehow I left with five.. What?

I really like reading books in English instead of Danish. Not only are they way cheaper, but somehow I feel like I am learning from it as well.

So here are the books I got:

Guildwars 2 book (Game book)

Eve - Templar One by Tony Gonzales

The Fame Game by Lauren Conrad

I Heart Vegas by Lindsey Kelk

With Love at Christmas by Carole Matthews

The first two books I bought for my boyfriend. He is not that interested in books, but then he saw these two and was sold, so I thought why not?

As a lot of you guys know I just love to disappear in a good book, and I honestly can't wait to get through all these books. I have been eyeing some of these books for a while, so I am so happy I found them.

Now the problem, what do I start with?  :O

I will have some reviews up for you guys.

Do you guys love books just as much, or is it just a waste of time?

Xoxo, Mie

Then I did a little bit of homework. I do not recommend this book. It's really old and it uses old danish language :S

I went shopping and then I noticed this movie poster and somehow I felt it was very inappropriate for kids lol

Then I don't know how it happened but accidentally bought a new pair of boots. But its okay I found a gift card I didn't realize I had so I used that. Aren't they cute?

Book Review : The hunger games

From Goodreads.com

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. 

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister Primrose, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before — and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

My personal opinion:

Okay Im just gonna say it - I LOVE this book. 

I was told before I started reading this book that it had similarities to Twilight so I was a bit meh about starting reading it cause yes I thought the twilight books were good, they were just not as well written as The hunger games (and yes I know its two different authors)

I've been reading this book at every chance I got, so when I got of work I would sit in the bus reading it on my way to the gym (I have a 30. min bus drive), and I even read it on my breaks at work.

If you guys are looking forward to the movie (yes Im gonna watch it) I recommend this book.

Tbh I've never heard about the book before all this hype started and thats when I decided I wanted to read the book, cause I often think that a book is better than the movie they make of it.

Im finishing off with the trailer for the movie so if you guys haven't seen it yet, you know a tad bit about why the book is good

Have you guys read the book?

Review: Summer and the city

From goodreads.com

Summer is a magical time in New York City and Carrie is in love with all of it—the crazy characters in her neighborhood, the vintage-clothing boutiques, the wild parties, and the glamorous man who has swept her off her feet. Best of all, she's finally in a real writing class, taking her first steps toward fulfilling her dream. 

This sequel to The Carrie Diaries brings surprising revelations as Carrie learns to navigate her way around the Big Apple, going from being a country "sparrow"—as Samantha Jones dubs her—to the person she always wanted to be. But as it becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile her past with her future, Carrie realizes that making it in New York is much more complicated than she ever imagined. 

With her signature wit and sparkling humor, Candace Bushnell reveals the irresistible story of how Carrie met Samantha and Miranda, and what turned a small-town girl into one of New York City's most unforgettable icons, Carrie Bradshaw.

My opinion:

Summer and the city is a good chick lit book, however I found that the first few chapter was a bit hard to get through. I started this book in october and finished it today so yeah that tells a bit. The more the story and characters evolve the more intrigued I was to find out how it was gonna end.

I do recommend this book, but personally I wouldn't buy it unless it was on sale

Have you guys read it? and if so what do you think?

Why men love bitches

Book description from amazon.com

Do you feel like you are too nice? Sherry Argov's Why Men Love Bitches delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask:

• Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change?
• Why do men take nice girls for granted?
• Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself?

My personal opinion:

Why men Love bitches is a great and funny selfhelp book, but with any selfhelp book you have to keep in mind that every couple and every person are unique and cannot be described in a book that goes for all.

I love that this book has a sense of humor to it, and I honestly couldn't put it down when I started reading it.

I actually tried some of the tips lol... Since christmas my bf has talked me out of going to the gym cause then I was home when he got home, and cause I can be a lazy person at times I just said okay (Just to clear up he did not forbid me to go he is just a home person :)), but the more the days flew the more my good habit got erased for a bad happy and in some way i felt like I was letting myself go.

Anywhoo... I read the book where this is mentioned and I thought you know what this was my good habit before I met my bf and I WILL continue it cause it makes me feel good about myself. 

And when I started going to the gym again I got the cutes messages like I love you and can't wait to see you... 

So I recommend this book... Just keep in mind that you and your partner are unique, you are not like anybody else :)

Have you guys read the book?

Have a great saturday

I recently got the book elixir by Hilary Duff, cause first of Im a bookworm and second.. I was curious what she'd come up with.

To my surprise the book is not bad at all but in honesty its a typical chick lit book and an easy read. I read it in one day.

Taken from Goodreads.com

Clea Raymond has felt the glare of the spotlight her entire life. The daughter of a renowned surgeon and a prominent Washington DC politician, she has grown to be a talented photojournalist who takes refuge in a career that allows her to travel to the most exotic parts of the world. But after Clea’s father disappears while on a humanitarian mission, Clea’s photos begin to feature eerie, shadowy images of a strange and beautiful man—a man she has never seen before.

When fate brings Clea and this man together, she is stunned by the immediate and powerful connection she feels with him. As they grow closer, they are drawn deep into the mystery behind her father’s disappearance, and they discover the centuries old truth behind their intense bond. Torn by a dangerous love triangle and haunted by a powerful secret that holds their fates, together they race against time to unravel their pasts in order to save their lives—and their futures.
