Happy Saturday, everyone! After surviving lots of paper-writing, exam-grading, and a parent-teacher conference that had been heinously lurking in the week after Easter break, I'm back right on time to celebrate my blogiversary! Or one of my blogiversaries, anyway... 😅 I technically created this blog on January 16th, 2017, but since I barely ever posted … Continue reading The Hogwarts Course Book Tag
Trevlig lördag, alla! It's me! And unless I manage to colossally fuck things up within the next 24 hours, I am currently one day away from hitting a two-year streak on Duolingo!! Which obviously means you're getting another Duolingo post to celebrate. I've got to make use of my two-year-streak-week while I can! (Am I … Continue reading Recommending Books Based On Weird Duolingo Sentences || Fantasy Edition
Happy New Year, everyone! As is traditional here on A Book Owl's Corner, I've decided to welcome 2023 on a positive note by giving you a ton of suggestions on what to read this year!

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm here!! A few hours later than usual, sure, but better late than never, right? (Of course, I would love to tell you there was a grand reason for my tardiness, but what it really boils down to is that I was too freaking lazy to get started on this post and … Continue reading The Functions Book Tag || ORIGINAL
Καλή Παρασκευή σε όλους! Yes, I'm aware that isn't Swedish. However, since I am currently in Greece and not Sweden like I'd originally planned, I thought it'd only be fair to greet you in the local language. After all, there's still going to be plenty of Swedish in the rest of this post! Some impressions … Continue reading Recommending Books Based On Weird Duolingo Sentences || Swedish Edition
Happy Friday, everyone! After an eventful week filled with school, lesson preparation, insanely hot weather, and me narrowly avoiding a kitchen inferno because I decided cooking and simultaneously catching up on Eurovision content was the ultimate time management hack, I've decided I'm too tired to be trusted with any creative ideas of my own and … Continue reading The Trope Tag
Happy Friday, everyone! Today, we have a cause worth celebrating: Because as of last Sunday, I have finally achieved my long-time goal of reaching a one-year streak on Duolingo! For those of you who don't know, Duolingo is a free learning app that allows you to dabble in a whole bunch of different languages. And … Continue reading Recommending Books Based On Weird Duolingo Sentences

Happy Friday, everyone! Somehow, it's already summer solstice week and we've made it halfway through 2021. Where did all that time go? However, tradition is tradition, so of course, we're doing the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag! This tag was originally created back in 2016 by Ely and Chami over on BookTube, and it is the perfect … Continue reading Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2021
Happy Friday, everyone - and welcome back to A Book Owl's Corner! Honestly, guys, you have no idea how relieved I am to be able to say this, because in case you didn't notice, I spent the past week with a ludicrous blog name I couldn't wait to get rid of 🙈 But what can … Continue reading Discussion: Books That Have Made Me Cry and Why I Love Them
Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you've all safely arrived in 2021 and that you're enjoying the new year so far! Anyway, now that 2021 is here, it's time for my obligatory "Favorite Books of the Year" post! I'm actually quite proud of myself for posting this on time for once - last year, it was … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2020
Hi everyone! I am slowly but surely chipping away at all the things I've been tagged at - there is still an enormous backlog, but I am getting there! I might actually write a couple of extra posts in the next few weeks to get caught up, but I'm not making any promises... After all, … Continue reading The Medieval Queens Book Tag
Hi everyone! First off, I'm sorry I went completely off-grid this week! If I missed any posts that you're really proud of, feel free to leave a link and I will try to catch up once my life returns to something resembling normality 😅 I'd love to see what you guys have been up to! … Continue reading Can You Guess My Favorite Books?
Hi everyone! I'm actually a bit shocked how quickly June went by - it seems like the month just started, and then it was already over. Maybe my dread of upcoming exams is accelerating time 😁 However, June actually turned out to be the best reading month I've had in a while. I read so … Continue reading What I Read in June 2020
Since the summer solstice was only a few days ago, I think that I can safely say that we're pretty much exactly at the mid-year mark. Which makes it the prefect time for the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag! I feel like this is such a fun way to reflect on the books I read … Continue reading Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2020
Hi everybody! This week's post is coming to you from a severely sleep-deprived me, but that's because I just had a reading week so awesome that I feel like this week alone will be responsible for about half of my favorite books of the year. I'm not kidding! Among others, I read one four-star and … Continue reading Mini-Reviews: The Interestings, Allegedly, The Anti-Virginity Pact
With everything that's going on right now, what I read last month really pales in comparison. So I just wanted to start this post by saying: To all my Black readers - I'm with you and support you 100%. What is going on in the US right now, and has been going on there (and … Continue reading What I Read in May 2020
Hi guys! I hope you've had a good week! I actually started mine having to pay 7€ in library fees - something that came as a bit of a shock since I've never returned anything late in my life before now... But, in my defense, the university library originally said that it would let us … Continue reading If You Liked This Book, You Might Also Like…
Hi everyone - I hope quarantining is still going well! Personally, while I liked all the extra free time at first, I can't wait for things to return to normal now that the new semester has started. Online university just isn't my cup of tea... Still, I really like getting to spend more time with … Continue reading Stay At Home Book Tag
It's been ages since I did a tag, so this post is long overdue! And this tag, created by Jaded Reader, is actually quite fitting - with the quarantine going on, my family and I have been doing a lot of yard work, and we've been making bonfires in the evenings to burn all of … Continue reading The Campfire Book Tag
