Murders, books and plans

[starsthatshine]

I just(-ish) saw Midsomer Murders and oh, how I love that show. And this episode was particularly funny for some reason. The sarcasm was just pouring in, which was lovely. I think the episode in question was called 'Death and Dust'. I really have to get my hands on those novels which the series are based on. I saw there were two in my local (-ish) library and it will further distract me on my path on reading SWEDISH books. You see, I will fail my Swedish courses if I don't improve and actually read.

Which, Swedish friends or at least Swedish readers, my future Swedish grade is begging you to give me some recommendations on good Swedish books, or at least some that has been translated, because quite frankly, I'm in desperate need of something literature-ish. I tried reading The Devil Wears Prada in Swedish but it's boring me and I've only managed to go to page 40 in my attempts (count them, three). I tried to find the Dexter books alas my library isn't that cool.

Tomorrow, I'll be a training rabbit and work my ass off in the home-gym that we have, also I'll be perhaps watching Supernatural and then maybe some Sarah Connor Chronicles (to see if it's any good) and then perhaps sigh a bit about John Simm and then some about Ellos.se (oh, the clothes that they have there...)

How exactly do you mean 'the Tudors' and stuff? Sorry for being a total brainwaste, but... I'm not sure I know anything about that period.

And how did I miss that, I ask? *headdesk* :P I'm blind.

HL still going strong for me too, although it's not my ultimate OTP.

Ah, the Tudors were a royal family in England that ruled around 1400-1600. Elizabeth I was the last ruler of that family. It was her father Henry the... I can't remember which number, who had five wives, including Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. So many interesting people who were Tudors or related to them, including Mary I (aka Bloody Mary), Mary Queen of Scots, all of Henry's wives... I started reading about Elizabeth I at first, but lately I've found Catherine of Aragon very fascinating.

I think H/L was at it's best in DH, no matter who Harry married in the end. :)
