Omtale; Et sted skinner det av Vibeke Riiser-Larsen

For en stund tilbake fikk jeg tak i et leseeksemplar av debutromanen "Et sted skinner det" av Vibeke Riiser-Larsen fra forlaget.

På jobben er Sigrid mer eller mindre som de andre ansatte. Når hun har kommet seg hjem, er hun alene. En tante som ringer henne annenhver uke, musene i fryseren på loftet og Halvorsen i første etasje som hun handler for hver fredag. Sigrid sin metode for å holde ut er skogen og barberbladet i lommen. Det som kanskje kan forandre ting, er dagen da Snorre kommer innom butikken og gir henne tre boller.

Til debutroman var "Et sted skinner det" fullt brukbar, og det kommer frem hvordan det er å holde ut ensomhet og isolasjon.

I read the horror novel The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana earlier this year and today I'll post my review of the book.

Annoncing the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As it's 2023 in less than two months, I figured out it was time to annouce the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors with chronic health issues Characters/authors in wheelchairs Characters/autho
