Wishlist Wednesday [2]





Wishlist Wednesday is hosted at Pen to Paper! It's simple: Write about a book that is on your wishlist. Crying can be involved. Then link back to Pen and Paper and look at other people's posts! Maybe you'll find your next favourite book!


My birthday is tomorrow!! So this is a book that I'm hoping to get for my birthday. This is going to be a little different because I've actually read the book. Twice. I just don't own it and I really NEED to so I can read it again and hug it and just cry over it. I read this book twice in one month. I laughed, I cried, and I couldn't wait to read it again. I gave it five stars and wish I could give it 6+ stars. So which book has created such a hole in my heart while it's been gone?



At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori—and she is left trying to decide what to do next.

Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…
It does not surprise me one bit that this book has an almost 4.50 rating on Goodreads with over 30,000 ratings. It's that good. If you see this book, I recommend getting it. It'll make you feel a wide range of emotion, and I don't know about you, but that's what I look for in books. This book is so strong in so many different ways. And it comes with a soundtrack!! Seriously, it's awesome. Get this book. Buy me this book. I will have 15 copies of this book and not complain about it. I love this book and I will cherish it forever.

Wishlist Wednesday [1]





Wishlist Wednesday is hosted at Pen to Paper! It's simple: Write about a book that is on your wishlist. Crying can be involved. Then link back to Pen and Paper and look at other people's posts! Maybe you'll find your next favourite book. This is my first Wishlist Wednesday and I'm so excited that I found it!

My birthday is in a few weeks, so obviously I have a long list of books on my wishlist, but I would like to spotlight only one this week. There are a few I'd like to choose from, but overall, this book is one that I will probably cry if I got it.

Book: I am Zlatan
Author: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Genre: Non-fiction
Published: November 7, 2011
Original language: Swedish
In his own words, Ibra tells us about his time on the Malmö FF youth squad, and about the dads from the nicer part of town who tried to get him kicked off the team. We get the full story about the conflicts in Ajax, the sale to Juventus, his successes in Italy and the scandal that almost ruined his career. He tells us about the wins with Inter Milan, about Mourinho, and about his most famous goals. He tells us about Helena, the kids, and his life off the pitch. And for the first time ever we get the whole truth about what really happened between him and Pep Guardiola in Barcelona.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s autobiography is a thrilling look behind the scenes of top division football. [via Goodreads] [link to Goodreads]

Zlatan is one of the most known football (Soccer) players in the world. He's known for his awesome goals, his fabulous hair (okay maybe that's just me), and maybe most of all, his arrogance and his "I don't give a shit" attitude. It goes without saying that I love Zlatan. I also love that he came from nothing and has created a life for himself. He's safe and comfortable, something he wasn't always able to say. His life is sometimes hectic, sometimes frustrating, but always a great ride and I can't wait to read it from him. I put this on my birthday list, so hopefully I can get it. If not, I'm buying it for myself and crying about it.
