CAMILLA'S BLOG

I know, I said you shouldn’t expect a lot of updates from me these days but suddenly I felt myself really wanting to write a lot of blogs – so typical!
But anyways, I wanted to talk about books because as I mentioned in this post, I have quite a few that’s waiting to be read. I’m not done with “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” yet, I’m about halfway through it. It’s ok, but so far it hasn’t really caught my interest a whole lot, it’s one of those kinda slow reads that you don’t read in just a few days – at least not me. But I do plan on finishing it soon though, because I really do think it’ll get way better :)
So because I haven’t been totally focused on that one, I’ve read a few other books as well. The first one was the second book in the Stefan’s Diaries series “Bloodlust” (The Vampire Diaries related). They’re not masterpieces or anything but I really enjoy them because, obviously, I’m a huge Vampire Diaries fan and then it’s just fun to read some of the main characters’ back stories. So yeah, I liked it :)
Then the next one I read was “Unspoken” by Mari Jungstedt. It was pretty good, but I’ve read too many crime novels like that in the last few years so I figured out who the murderer was before I was supposed to and therefore wasn’t really surprised at the ending, which then seemed a little anticlimactic. But it was still an ok story. Now I’m reading “13 Reasons Why” by Jay Asher. That one wasn’t pictured in the last book post but that’s because I just got it from my local library after being on the wait list for a month or so – seems like it’s pretty popular then ;) I’m on page 80 or something and it’s already totally gotten me hooked because it’s such a mystery so far. So that one seems really promising!
Yeah, that’s pretty much it for my tiny little book reviews this time. When I’ve read more of the books on my list, I’ll write one of these again. I reeeally love books! :)

So about a week ago or so, something really beautiful happened outside. When I went to bed it was raining a lot so I was sure I’d wake up and all the snow would be gone (which is not a bad thing – I’m sick of it). But instead, I woke up and sometime during the night or morning the temperature had dropped pretty quickly. Or that’s how I think it happened anyways, so yeah, this is how beautiful it looked outside:

You can view larger versions of the photos on my flickr :)

I don’t know if you can see it properly on the pictures but the trees were totally covered in ice. Seriously, it looked like glass creations or something. I don’t know if it’s just me that haven’t seen something like this before, but I was just so amazed by how beautiful it looked. Even the grass had small icicles on it!
That being said, I still can’t wait for the rest of the snow to disappear and then hopefully spring will arrive very soon. It’s gonna be so amazing! :)

(She doesn’t like my camera so she pretty much always looks uncomfortable when I take picture of her, ha ha)
It’s my beautiful little dog’s birthday today – 3 years old. I can’t believe she’s that old already, she’s all grown up, ha ha:) And oh, the date is kinda funny, March 3rd, which means she’s turning 3 on the 3/3 – so many threes. Anyways, we got her some new toys, which she has already ruined actually. She’s such a little killer!
I honestly could not imagine my life without her. She never fails to cheer me up and she’s just the most adorable little thing ever. Being away from her is really my biggest concern about moving out and getting my own place this summer. My mornings are going to be so sad when I can’t snuggle with her before getting up and ready and without her lying on my bed watching me afterwards. We totally have our own little morning routine. I love her SO MUCH! She’s my little angel. (You would think I was talking about a baby, right?)
By the way, school is still very busy so my activity here on the site probably won’t improve much before it slows down a little bit. Ugh, it’s so annoying – there are so much to worry about when it comes to school and education these days. I feel kinda stressed out actually. But I won’t bore you with all that and besides, it’s time for bed anyways. So I’m just gonna say goodnight :)

Ok, so as you can probably see I’ve bought/borrowed a decent amount of books over the last few months and because I’ve been so focused on “Wuthering Heights” I haven’t had time to read any of them. But now that’s over I can finally just read whatever I want to. I still really love “Wuthering Heights”, though. But I kinda just wanna forget about the assignment now since it’ll be about six weeks or so before I’ll receive the grade for it. But suddenly it just feels like there’s references to the book everywhere. It was mentioned multiple times in the book I just read and then on the most recent episode of Bones. I mean, come on – Bones?! It won’t leave me alone, haha ;)
Anyways, the book I just finished is “One Day” by David Nicholls and it was so incredible! The love story in it is just so amazing and touching that I found myself getting all emotional when it wasn’t even supposed to be sad or anything. So yeah, it was pretty amazing and I definitely recommend the book to everyone who enjoys a great love story. And actually, the film adaption of it premieres some time this year. It’s directed by the Danish Lone Scherfig (who also directed An Education) and it has Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess in the leading roles. So I’m totally excited about seeing it!
Now I’m reading “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom which is supposed to be a really powerful book, though it might not really my kinda thing because, as the title implies, it’s a story about dying and then going to heaven, which is not something I believe in (I’m an Atheist). But then again, it’s fiction so I’m sure I’ll enjoy it anyways. I mean, my favorite books are the Harry Potters and I so don’t believe in wizards, magic, dragons or anything else like that, haha!
Other than that, I have winter break this week – just what I needed. My mom, sister and I went shopping yesterday (I bought some cute clothes!) but besides that I’ve just been relaxing big time. So yeah, I’m really enjoying myself these days. I hope you all are too!
See you :)

This is pretty much all that’s on my mind these days. Why? Read my last post. I can’t wait for all this to be over – I still love the book, though! It was even better this time actually.

Anyways, you probably won’t be hearing from me before Friday (when I have to turn in the project). Wish me luck! I sure need it since I’m such a pro when it comes to procrastinating :(
