66 Books In One Year
Last year I came up with an idea that I would register and rate all the books I would read during one year. I blogged about every book (a Swedish blog) and added some notes to each and rated them. Now it’s finished! I’ve finally completed a long term project ;).
I’ve read 66 books since last year and I’ve even have several periods when I didn’t feel like reading at all. So I thought I should share a list with you guys, a list with books that’s gotten 4 and 5 out of 5. I’ve linked them to Amazon so you can read more about them. If you want to read the titles in Swedish, take a look at this post!
I’v added a * to the books you really really should read!

Thats crazy! Congrats for reading so many books!!
Sv: Ja det har du ju rätt i! ^^ Jag som till och med har använt min Helly Hansen-tröja de senaste dagarna när det har varit lite kallt ute :) Men jag tänkte inte på att den var lik jackan jag bloggade om :P
Men gud, hur har du hunnit läsa så många böcker? :O Jag läser bara typ 10-15 böcker per år men tycker ändå att det är rätt mycket, iaf jämfört med de flesta jag känner :P
Thanks for sharing the book titles. I’m a bookworm myself and I always like to read at least one book from different countries every year(curious about world lit)so thank you very much
That’s such an awesome project! Well done for completing it. Can’t believe you read 66 books in the last year, that’s totally amazing.
Thanks for sharing the list :)
Kul att se att fler håller koll på vad de läser! :) Jag har skrivit upp varenda bok jag läst sedan 2003 men började inte recensera allt förrän i år. Här är min boksida: http://www.whirlwind.nu/angelicasbokhylla
Jag känner mig verkligen helt kass i jämförelse med dig då jag bara läst 9 böcker sedan Januari.
Jag har för övrigt tänkt köpa The Book Thief och nu efter din 5-poängsrating är jag ännu mer säker på att jag borde göra det. :)
Jeg har gerne ville læse de par bøger jeg har liggende af Johan Theorin i et stykke tid nu – måske jeg skulle se at komme igang med dem ;) Imponerende liste Malin! :D
Bokstatistik är kul. :)
