Introducing Mari

So I guess I never really told you guys anything about myself at all. I've decided that it's about time to do something about that(about time after blogging for two whole years). I mean isn't it nice to know something about the person behind the blog you're reading?

This is me at a costume party back in winter 2010 I think it was.

Hi y'all so this is me, Mari. I started this blog back in 2009 because I wanted to share my passion for reading with someone. In May 2011 I decided that I needed a blog partner.

I'm a born and breed Norwegian with 1/16 part Swedish and 1/16 Czechish blood thrown in the mixture(yeah I want to feel a little more international so I had to include some distant ancestors). I live on the countryside with my little family and I absolutely love it.

I'm 28 years old, but sometimes I still feel like I'm somewhere around 18- 15, I guess that's why I'm able to love YA as much as I do. I'm not married but I've been together with my significant other since the day before I turned fifteen. Together we have two wonderful children, a six year old boy and a baby girl, oh and I mustn't forget our cat either, Zara.

Some favorites of mine:

Favorite books(oh, it's so hard to choose!):
On Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Knife( Faery Rebels: Spell Hunter) by R.J. Anderson

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer

So movies was a difficult category.. I love comedies and action too I just cannot think of any favorites atm.

TV-series:
Glee
True Blood

Green Wing(this is just hilarious)

I also love watching sports(some at least like cross-country, soccer, handball) on TV.

Interests besides reading:
Spending time with my children, genealogy and more.

So that's a little something about me. Anything else you would like to know just ask.
