Just wanted to see if and how this works, if it works well it is all very good 🙂 If not I’ll just have to keep doing it the same way as I have done so far.
Seem it works fine 🙂 Gonna try adding a small picture as well
I just finished up reading the book a couple hours ago. It was a very good crime story, a murdered man turns up frozen into the ice. The man is the one who went missing 3 months earlier, he walked out of the house heading towards work, but never got there.
Once he has been found it is obvious he was killed, probably the same day he went missing. The police now has a murder to solve.
The police is trying really hard to figure out why, and who did it. And along the way they learn that the new village celebrity, Christian Thydell, a writer who just released his debut book has been threatened. Christian is also a friend of the victim. Soon they start working with the theory the two events are related, witch means the writer and his family are in danger as well.

Stumbled on a new concept today, BookCrossing, it is a way of making the world into a big library.
It is a rather simple concept really. You sign up for free, registers a book (or books) you own and want others to read. When registering a book you get a unique identity, a BCID, that you should write inside the bookcover, so you can keep track of how the book travels. Then you simply leave the book somewhere it can be found by someone to read. It is wise to leave a note about book crossing and give the Internet address as I guess only few would know what the BCID you have written in the book means otherwise.
Of course there’s always a risk it will take a very long time, before someone picks it up and goes to the site to enter information that they have done so. Also not all do have access to Internet easily. Once you released a book into the wild, there’s very little chance you’ll get it back, but it might be rewarding to read about others that has found “your” book and fun seeing where it has traveled. It could in theory end up in the other end of the world.
As a non member on the site you can add a note if you found a book and where you found it, but won’t be notified where it goes next.

I’m gonna try this and see if there’s a book or two I want to release into the world 😀 (they’ll be written in Swedish and released in Sweden, will let you all know what books and how they travel, if they do.)
UPDATE: Released books will be listed here

I did plan on doing a review on that, as I got my hands on it couple days ago. Luckily by borrowing and not buying. Somewhere around half way through the album I got tired of it…. To me all songs sounded pretty much the same, I didn’t really notice when one song ended and a new one started 🙁
Over the years Madonna has changed style a few times, this is a changed style again, just this time not really into something new.
I will try and sit and concentrate on listening to it some day, so I can give a proper review. But my first impression is that it’s not really worth buying, unless you of course are such a big Madonna fan you just need to have the complete collection of her albums.
Stumbled across the fact that Duran Duran had a new cd out, didn’t really expect that. I have never been a great fan of them, but I got a couple of their songs from the 80’s and that I found to be good so I just had to check it out.
I must say they don’t sound as I remember them… I guess they’ve changed sound somewhere along the way. This album Red carpet massacre is a bit more towards pop then I recall them being before. It’s not a bad thing really, it does sound good.
They have managed to maintain a bit of their individuality, they do not sound the same as many other pop music of today. There’s a touch of that rock like sound they had in the 80’s. I’m pretty sure you’d like it if you liked them back then. If you weren’t a fan of Duran Duran in the 80’s, it might be worth a shot now.
