If you are into vikings...

I can really recommend an amazing trilogy to read! It's written by Johanne Hildebrandt and the basic idea is to represent characters from Scandinavian mythology but also ways of living of bronze age. Series are called Stories of Valhalla with three different yet chronological story (Freija, Idun and Saaga). If you are really strict how old stories should be told, don't read these. But, if you like the characters and don't mind use of fiction I'd like to say READ them! I'm totally into viking-related things and loved these books so much I had to buy them as well.

I must admit, the first book is my favourite. Maybe because I already have it and I've read it several times.



I'm terribly sorry for my non-posting but since I'm working my ass off in long johns there is actually not too much to show you concerning my outfits etc. I have bought a gourgeous pair of shoes and tasted really good wine, maybe I'll tell you more next time!

For the very end I want to share nice piece of History Channel's ridiculously addictive tv-shiw the Vikings. Oh, Ragnar <3

Vintage time travelling

What a lazy, lazy Sunday. Just a perfect day just to chill out and grab a book you have never read before. This is how I spent my day with a novel written by Ransom Riggs. Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children was all new to me, but whoa what a book! I only can recommend it to everyone, who's interested about old photos, creepy stories and a bit of fantasy. And now comes the best part: Tim Burton has directed a movie based on the book and it will be published THIS year! I could not be more happy. :3

The photo on the right was another favourite of mine. The photos in the book are authentic, as they come from the collectors (the author is one of the collectors)


This is my favourite, I think. Girl in the picture is one of the characters, Fiona.

I would love to be peculiar too!
