Spring Book Haul

The time has come, my friends! The time to do my very first real book haul . Remember when I made a New Year resolution to spoil myself with new books? Well, in the past couple of months, I have been honouring this quite selfish resolution, and today I have not one but four new books to show you, as well four new comic books (and one book-related movie). Now, these books have been on my TBR for a very long time. Except for The Martian . I've already read that book, I just wanted to own a copy of it. This is the most books that I have bought in the course of two months (college books don't count), so I guess you can say I went a little nuts. On the other hand, I got them all very cheap. My budget was one hundred Swedish Crowns or less.     1. The Martian     I like the book, and I love the movie. And now I can enjoy them both. For the record, I hate it when they reprint books with movie posters on the cover, but if a movie is as great as this...

Movie Review: The Martian

Firstly, I want to say that my guest review for  Adventure of the Creeping Man , as well as my " interview " have been posted on  Book Bloggers International .

And I know, I know, this is a book blog, but rules are meant to be broken, and  The Martian is the perfect exception. Don't even look at it as a proper review. This is just me going on and on about how much I love this movie. The Martian is a fantastic movie. Aside from doing justice to Andy Weir's great novel, this is a well-written, well-acted, well-directed film with great editing and the perfect soundtrack. Hands down, it's the best movie I have seen in years.
