2011 dystropians I'm dying to read!

2009 was the year of the vampires. 2010 was the year of the angels. And 2011? It is the year of the dystropians!

I personally love dystropians and am really pumped for this year. Lots of wonderful new dystropians will be released so I decided to try to sort down my list to 6 books that I'm really looking forward to! Some of them are already released, some are not. But everyone are/was released in 2011.

(And yes, I do know that this post is really similar to Brent's from The Naughty Book Kitties post. But I planned to write this a long time before he posted his. So, no. I'm not copying him or something.)

All the links go to Goodreads.


Release: April 5th
Oh my god, you guys. The fourth part of Gone. I'm really excited! I haven't read the third part yet, though. But I bought it yesterday! If you've read my reviews of Gone and Hunger, you know that I'd literally marry these books. That's how much I love them.

Release: May 3rd
To be honest I don't know much about this book, more than that bloggers are going crazy over it and the cover is gorgeous. Reasons enough to include it in this list, right?


Already Released!
This book sounds so awesome! Horrible, but awesome. Being tattooed with the letters XVI on your sixteenth birthday, which means that any guy who want to can do whatever he wants to you sexwise. Again, horrible, but the book sounds awesome!

Release: March 22nd
Holy shit what a cover! The model, the colours, the font, the dress .. Everything looks amazing! If I had a cover of the week kind of feature, this cover would be featured. Every. Fricking. Week!


Already Released!
"'My name is Kyle Straker. And I don't exist anymore.' 
So begins the story of Kyle Straker, recorded onto old audiotapes. You might think these tapes are a hoax, but perhaps they contain the history of a past world....If what the tapes say is true, it means that everything we think we know is a lie. 
And if everything we know is a lie, does that mean that we are, too?"
Awesome blurb, or what?

Already Released!
This book both looks and sounds awesome. Like, trying to live without water? Hell no! I would go crazy!

Stylish Blogger Award

Hello guys! Since I'm super tired and very lazy I'm not going to post a review today as I had planned. First I thought that I would just spend the day in my bed playing Super Mario Galaxy all day. But then I quickly logged onto our computer and found a comment telling me that I got a Stylish Blogger Award, so hey, there's going to be a post on my blog today after all!



The award is from Kelly at The Bookscape Report. Thank you, I'm really honored!

What you have to do when you've won this award:
  • Thank the person who gave the award
  • Post 7 random things about yourself
  • Give the award to 15 other blogs
  • Contact the bloggers and let them know they've won!

7 Random things about myself:

  1. I talk swedish, finnish and english. I've also been studying french for about two and a half years.
  2. I'm addicted to the game Minesweeper
  3. My all time favorite tv show is The Big Bang Theory. Watch it, it's hilarious!
  4. I spend way too much time watching youtube videos. One of my favorite youtubers are Hank and John Green (yes, the author) who post videos together on the vlogbrothers channel. You should watch them as well. They're hilarious. As well.
  5. I play the piano. And I love it.
  6. We're currently rebuilding our house, so all of my belongings are packed into moving boxes we store in our living room. The only of my things I can use right now are about a 20-ish of my books, my wii and television, my The Big Bang Theory season 1 dvds, one suitcase of clothes and a note book and a pen. Fun, isn't it?
  7. Muse is the best of all bands that has ever existed. End of story.
As for the people I'm going to give this to ... I'm giving it to all of you! Yeah, you heard right. You all deserve a Stylish Blogger Award! Congratulations! I know this is kind of lame and lazy. But hey, I am lame and lazy! So please if you have the time, do one of these. I'd love if you link your post in the comments, I like spending my time reading these kind of things. (No, I'm not weird.)
