Kicking off the new year with a list of the books I read in 2017. I did a similar blog post last year about the books I read in 2016, and said I was inspired by, but didn't think about starting, a bookstagram account, but I did create one. My account @bookish_vampire_elf and the bookstagram community has helped me discover many awesome books and to reach my reading goal which was 12 books, but ended on a total count of 17. I also started to subscribe to the Fairyloot box in Febrauary last year, which is an awesome YA book box with great bookish merch and a good book. 
My goal this year is to read 20 books. Hopefully more. My TBR list is very long, and I got plenty of books to choose from from my own personal "library" up on my "geek loft". 

Here's the books I read in 2017:
1. Once Upon a Zombie
2. Catalyst
3. Anna Dressed in Blood
4. The Hobbit
5. Stalking Jack the Ripper
6. The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer
7. Strange The Dreamer
8. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
9. Blackhearts
10. Throne of Glass
11. Daughter of the Burning City
12. The Historian
13. Claudia's Story (Interview With the Vampire)
14. Conjured
15. Hallowe'en Party
16. Crown of Midnight
17. Even the Darkest Stars

My fave reads are The Hobbit, Stalking Jack The Ripper, HP and the Chamber of Secrets, Throne of Glass, The Historian, Crown of Midnight and Even the Darkest Stars. 

I'm off to a good start this year with the book "Everless" by Sara Holland which was featured in Fairyloot's December box "Oh, So Regal". I'm probably done reading it by tomorrow, but it still has me guessing the plot, who's good and who's bad, and I love it. 

How many books did you read in 2017? What was your favorite read?

I love that one of my favorite online shops - Hellaholics - got brands such as Rogue & Wolf, Restyle and Mysticum Luna. I've had my eyes on items from Rugue & Wolf for ages, and when bat designs showed up, they had me; fangs, wings and sinker ;)
Restyle also got a lot of awesome pieces, so some bats and snakes have found their way home to me. 
And that cute "Crazy Bat Lady" pin by Mysticum Luna though... Me in a batcave ;)

I don't buy that much clothes since I only wear my uniform at work and don't get that many chances to dress up atm. But printed clothes will forever be my weakness, so when I saw this Gremlins tank top at H&M, I had to have it. I also threw in a bat print sweater and a bat ears headband. Halloween is not a holiday, it's a lifestyle ;)

I'll probably never stop being a fangirl. Some books, movies and series will just get to me and I'll succumb to the greatness and fan and buy merch. Can't help it, won't help it.

My neverending Loki thirst is off the charts atm due to all the new clips and pics around Thor - Ragnarok, and I can't wait to see it at the movies once the dates in my town are announced. And I know I'll probably watch the movie at least twice... ;)  

Here are some new jewerly and pins I found at Etsy - The Geek Studio, and a few new Funko Pops I found on eBay:

As you can see, my taste in fandoms is pretty wide; from Marvel to Harry Potter to Disney, Peter Pan and Mulan. I'll never grow up and out of it. Cute Funkos and other fan related stuff is fun and brightens my day, I don't care what people think or say. "I'm a fangirl and I know it, and I'm not afraid to show it" ;)

One of my favorite (vampire) movies ever is "The Lost Boys". It's a great story, cool style and awesome music. 
I did some shopping at Etsy last night, and this merch is now on it's way to me;

I also got this wall sticker art from eBay a while ago that I've put on my closet door in my clothing room (I'll do a YouTube video of my room soon!).

Have you seen "The Lost Boys"? What's you favorite vampire movie?

I've been wanting a few jewelry pieces from The Rogue + The Wolf for a long time, and I finaly own two pieces. I purchased them through Hellaholics, my fave online shop <3

Just a few H&M news :)

Thank god for eBay and it's broad marked and low prices! I can go crazy with good conscience ;) Here are some recent jewelry purchases I've made to stock up on hippie vibes for the summer:

Summertime means acid rock, hippie vibes and boho chic. I love to mix hard rock and heavy metal items with bohemian inspired pieces. Here are some kimonos that I ordered from Ebay. I hope they are just as pretty as the pictures, and that they fit. I've imagined many outfits with them, so fingers crossed :)
