THE SELECTION SERIES

As a teenage girl who loves to read books about mystical creatures, broken society's and love between a girl and a vampire, I must say I was skeptical to start reading the selection series. A series that was based on drama and romance.
I was convinced that I would only read a few chapters and then put the book down, because it was too much of the good or is that not what they say? However, I was wrong. During a week, I was able to read the three books following this series, plus its first squeal book and its short novellas. All in all, that means 7 books in 5 days. Let's just say, I got hooked and did not do anything else that week..

The first book in the three-book-series, is naturally named The Selection. In the book we follow a girl named America Singer who lives in a future Illea. She was named after the old country America, which is now a monarchy country named Illea. As a way of getting Prince Maxon a chance to find his future queen, the King and Queen hosts a selection. This is also where the book gets its title.
All the girls in the fractions is allowed to enter the competition, but only thirty-five girls gets chosen. America, who only entered because her secret love, Aspen, does not want her to miss any opportunities, ends up getting chosen out to be a part of the thirty-five lucky girls. We follow the drama between America falling for Maxon while Aspen still has her heart. Her struggle is followed by several political issues in the country Illea and the peoples hate for their king and queen only grows.

The Selection is a book series based on drama where you will not be able to put the book down. While reading the book, I felt like having a heart attack most of the time. The plot twists will create feelings like never before. The series is well written and you cannot help with falling in love with the charming Price Maxon. This is a book series i deeply recommend for you to read. Even if you are a person who only likes to read books about mystical creatures, broken society's and love between a girl and a vampire *wink, wink* it will be a hit.

Studying Abroad? Maybe..

For the longest time, I have wanted to live abroad. I want to live in an English speaking country - I prefer America, just because I am fascinated with their country - and grow as a person during that time. 

One of my problems is that I have no idea on what I want to do over there. I am not person who is going to have a long education and study for years and years. The core of my problems start with me not knowing what to study. I just know that I want to study abroad, or at least live there. 

I personally have plenty of pros and cons for moving to another country. Right now, the pro list is longer then the con list, but I only see that as a positive thing. 

Now, I was in America this summer. I basically ''studied abroad'' during this summer since I went to school and learned English. However, my goal is to experience what millions of young Americans experience when they go to school. I have always wanted to do an exchange year during my 12th year but when the time came around, I was still in Norway because I did not have the money. 

Hopefully I will get to achieve my dream one day.
