The Smell of Ink/Lukten av Trykksverte

It's the end of the month again and time for a monthly summary. This month I've managed to read quite a few books and it's a bit needed, considering I had a "small" bookhaul this month. Luckily I've even read a few of the books in the bookhaul, which helps a bit. Anyway, beneath the photo, there's a list of books read and this month's book haul.

(Inneholder affiliate linker) For en god stund siden fikk jeg tilsendt et leseeksemplar av romanen  Gåten  av Jessie Burton fra forlaget. Jeg har til slutt lest boka og nå kommer omtalen. Beskrivelse fra forlaget Bestselgerforfatter Jessie Burton tar leseren tilbake til 1960-tallets London hvor et gåtefullt maleri viser seg å ha tråder til et stort drama som utspilte seg på den spanske landsbygda 30 år tidligere.  England, 1967. Odelle Bastien er en karibisk immigrant som prøver å skape seg en karriere i London. Da hun begynner å jobbe på prestisjetunge Skelton Institute of Art, oppdager hun et maleri som etter sigende skal være et verk av Isaac Robles, en talentfull og visjonær ung kunstner hvis mystiske død har vært en gåte for kunstverdenen i flere tiår. Spenningen rundt maleriet forsterkes av motstridende historier om hvordan det ble oppdaget. Odelle blir trukket inn i et komplisert nett av hemmeligheter og bedrag, og vet ikke hva hun skal tro eller hvem hun kan stole på.

It's Friday and time for a new Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of   Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer . The question of the week was "Do you sneak a peak at the number of views your posts have gotten?" . Book Blogger Hop In my case, the answer would be yes. For me, it's a bit due to the fact that I want to check which posts "work", have hit the audience, are popular or not. This does to a certain extent aid me a little bit in writing future posts.

First, my chin was wet with drool, and I hardly ever slobber on myself when I’m awake. And second, I was no longer on Earth. I sat bolt upright and stared out the window as distant stars whizzed past in a blur. There were no planets in sight, and judging by

Exile of the Seas Chronicles of Dasnaria #2 by Jeffe Kennedy Genre: Dark Fantasy Pub Date: 9/4/18 Around the shifting borders of the Twelve Kingdoms, trade and conflict, danger and adventure put every traveler on guard . . . but some have everything to lose.

Denne inspirerende og bedårende lille boken er blitt en internasjonal bestselger.  "Tiden du tilbringer i selskap med en katt, er aldri bortkastet."  Sigmund Freud  Mennesker elsker å skape problemer for seg selv. Jeg ser det hver eneste dag, og det samme gjør alle mine kattevenner. En av menneskets favorittsysler er å finne på mer å sysle med. De er alltid på jakt etter noe annet, som om livet de har ikke er nok. De sier at de leter etter lykke, men vet de hva lykke er?  Heldigvis finnes vi ka

Feel free to laugh as I am fully capable of switching from writing reviews on feminist essays to cookbooks. One can be a feminist and still enjoy cooking - it's not mutually exclusive. Nevertheless, today I'll post my review of Slow-Cooker Fall Favorites by Gooseberry Patch. Description from Goodreads Fall not only brings beautiful leaves, warm cider and hayrides in the country...it also brings busy back-to-school nights, get-togethers and the cherished Thanksgiving dinner. What a perfect season to put your slow cooker to work, and what better cookbook to use than Slow-Cooker Fall Favorites? From breakfast to soups, dinners to desserts, Slow-Cooker Fall Favorites has the hearty slow-cooker recipe that you're looking for. Start the day of apple-picking off right with a hearty breakfast like Cranberry Bread Pudding, Breezy Brunch Florentine or Banana-Walnut Oatmeal. Invite family & friends over to watch the big game and munch on Spinach Queso Dip and Honey-Garlic Mea

For noen måneder siden var jeg såpass heldig at jeg fikk tilsendt et leseeksemplar av romanen Med mine øyne av Sheena Kamal fra forlaget. Siden den passet inn i Cloak and Dagger Mystery Challenge, har jeg nå lest den og i dag kommer omtalen av boka. Beskrivelse fra forlaget Hun trodde hun hadde lagt fortiden bak seg. Men hun tok feil. En natt får Nora Watts en telefonsamtale som bringer fortiden tilbake i livet hennes. Datteren hun adopterte bort for 15 år siden, er forsvunnet. Ettersom Bonnie har rømt hjemmefra flere ganger før, tar ikke politiet forsvinningen på alvor. Nora er nå adoptivforeldrenes siste, desperate håp. Etter å ha vokst opp i fosterhjem, og med en fortid preget av vold og smerte, vet Nora hva som kan skje med forsvarsløse jenter på gata. Hun har kjempet hardt for å legge det gamle livet bak seg. Motvillig begynner hun likevel å lete etter Bonnie. Med hunden som eneste selskap begir hun seg ut i regnvåte gater, vel vitende om at hun kommer til å åpne sår som

When Stars Come Out Scarlett St. Clair Publication date: October 31st 2018 Genres: Urban Fantasy, Young Adult Anora Silby can see the dead and turn spirits into gold coins, two things she would prefer to keep secret as she tries to lead a normal life at her new school. After all, she didn’t change her identity for nothing. As it turns out, hiding her weirdness is just one of many challenges. By the end of her first day, she’s claimed the soul of a dead girl on campus and lost the coin. Turns out, the coin gives others the ability to steal souls, and when a classmate ends up dead, there’s no mistaking the murder weapon. Navigating the loss of her Poppa, her mother’s unpredictable behavior, and Roundtable, an anonymous student gossip app threatening to expose her, are hard enough. Now she must find the person who stole her coin before more lives are lost, but that means making herself a target for the Order, an organization that governs the dead on Earth–and they want Anora

It's Friday and time for a new Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of  Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer . The question of the week was " Do you like to finish one book before starting the next or do you read several at once? ". Book Blogger Hop Personally, I usually stick to reading one book at the time, just so I don't confuse the various book plots or forget anything, but if I get an ARC or a press copy with a quick reading/blog post deadline, I might switch things up a bit.

Thanks to YA Bound Book Tours, I got the chance to read Love Spell by Mia Kerick and today I'll post my review of the book. Description from Goodreads Chance César is fabulously gay, but his gender identity—or, as he phrases it, “being stuck in the gray area between girl and boy”—remains confusing. Nonetheless, he struts his stuff on the catwalk in black patent leather pumps and a snug-in-all-the-right (wrong)-places orange tuxedo as the winner of this year’s Miss (ter) Harvest Moon Festival. He rules supreme at the local Beans and Greens Farm’s annual fall celebration, serenaded by the enthusiastic catcalls of his BFF, Emily Benson. Although he refuses to visually fade into the background of his rural New Hampshire town, Chance is socially invisible—except when being tormented by familiar bullies. But sparks fly when Chance, Pumpkin Pageant Queen, meets Jasper (Jazz) Donahue, winner of the Pumpkin Carving King contest. Chance wants to be noticed and admired and romantically

It's Tuesday again, which means it's time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of  That Artsy Reader Girl . The theme of the week was something so simple as top ten books on my autumn TBR pile.

Some of the press copies are for books published in the last couple of months, while some of the others are a tad bit older. My list includes; Trikset by Emanuel Bergmann Anestesi by Henrik Fram Svartstilla by Susanne Skogstad De tapte barna by Rosanna Ley Vindene by Morten Claussen Stalpi by Stefan Spjut Forvandlinga by Kathrine Nedrejord Sauesankertanker by Torgeir Rebolledo Pedersen Ingenlund: Morrigans forbannelse by Jessica Townsend The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell
