My big summer reading plans include reading Jaws during Shark Week, finishing the Darkest Minds trilogy and rereading the rest of the Unwind dystology.

And, how was it Storm? You don't seem excited at all about it. ;-D
It was FANTASTIC! The plot was great, there was a lot of characterization, so many one liners, (view spoiler) Just... Ahhh I loved it!

My Summer reading goal is to read the Percy Jackson books. I have copies waiting on my Kindle, and keep meaning to read them, but I end up not doing it, so think I'll make it this year's Summer reading goal.

I'm gonna try getting to that myself. If I don't, I might just see if I can get the box set this Christmas then.

Thanks girls. I don't even know if I'm supposed to write an entirely different paper this time or if it's "just" rewriting the one I already had...And uni is closed until monday. I asked my teacher, but she didn't know because she's new :(

So is it the exam for the fall you failed or one you had these last few months? Here in norway when you fail an exam you ALWAYS get another task, and you have to wait 6 months.

It was in May. The exam I failed was a "free written exam of no more than 11 pages." That means I could choose the subject myself. And the 2nd try is the same, a free written exam of no more than 11 pages. So there are no tasks... :)I don't have to wait than long, the deadline is 17/8, if I remember it correctly :) But that depends on the university, somewhere you have to wait 6 months as well

An exam you can write about anything? cool :)
Am currently working on a exam on 6 pages, its divided in two. 3 pages each task.

Off course it has to be relevant its an exam after all :)

Last night I attended Forsaken Hooligans party on Facebook. It had different horror authors and it was really a creepy good time. As one of the giveaways you got to be put an a S.E. Rise book trailer and I won it. It seriously so awesome and funny.
He added pictures of me in his book trailer
So
among other things, is a great tribute to harry potter and the harry potter generation.
If someone were to write something similar ( aka a book where the main person is obsessed with a book phenomemon, which paraellells a real series.) Which series do you hope it would be?
Personally I think pjo, tmi, nancy drew, anna and the french kiss, lunar chronicles, and throne of glass. I choose these book series because they all have HUGE fandoms and have effected society in generall not just the book world.In the same aspect that Harry potter did.

I think Twilight. That's the only other series I can come up with that everyone read back when it came out. Or Fifty Shades, but that's be a whole other thing :)I'm not sure I follow you in the 'effected society' with those books.. Anna and the French Kiss is pretty big amongst bookbloggers here right now, and TMI was too when it came out, but non-bookbloggers haven't been paying attention to any of those books. They've paid attention to FSOG, Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Twilight. :)

Well with tmi getting a tv series its getting more and more attention(or this might be me over thinking) and I belive the other books, like anna are books hat both readers and non readers(people that rread one or two books a year) love equally.

Fifty Shades, Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Twilight are all definitely book phenoms. I agree that they exceed the normal book popularity among non-readers. Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings are popular too, but I don't think these shows/movies are inspiring people to read the books.
I'm just gonna put this here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/4113053... Pretty sure that's all of us at some point when a new book by a favorite author is out or a new book in a series you've been reading is released.

I also agree with Twilight and Hunger Games.
