Last year I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC through Netgalley of the poetry collection  Nocturnal by Lindsay O'Connell/Wilderpoetry and today I'll post my review. Description from Goodreads The poems of Nocturnal—newly revised and expanded—are constellations to guide those on a journey of healing and self-discovery, no matter how dark the night. From @wilderpoetry comes a heavily expanded revised edition of Nocturnal, a collection of poetry and beautifully illustrated black-and-white imagery inspired by darkened days and sleepless nights.

Ink stains, landscapes, dreamlike animals, blackened pages, and textured spreads create a multifaceted reading experience. ...

A while ago I was lucky enough to recieve an ARC of the poetry collection In a Dream You Saw a Way to Survive by Clementine von Radics through Netgalley. I've recently read it and today I'll post my review. Description from Goodreads A lyrical poet, Clementine von Radics presents In a Dream You Saw a Way to Survive, a collection of brutally honest poetry that lends itself to the powerful anthem of survival. This collection bravely explores life at its darkest and most inspiring moments—drawing on central themes of love, loss, mental health, and abuse. An attempt to understand and to be understood, In a Dream You Saw a Way to Survive is an ode to vulnerability that delivers concentrated, thought-provoking, and earnest verse. My Thoughts on the Book It's an interesting and sometimes raw poetry collection about mental health, love, loss and other topics. Even though I enjoyed some poems more than others, I would recommend this collection.

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC of the cosy mystery Prologue to Murder by Lauren Elliot through Netgalley.

And when June's found at the bottom of a steep flight of stairs, Addie's not only dealing with a busybody, but a dead body. It's a good thing the guy she's dating is the police chief. But both the case and her love life get more complicated when a lanky blonde reporter from Los Angele...

It's Wednesday and time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post, courtesy of  Long and Short Reviews . The topic of the week was books that influenced my life. I'm sure I could list a bunch of books, but I will focus on just three books for the sake of not going overboard. Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block was my go-to book in my teenage years, as it gave acceptance for being different and bisexual. The Street Food Secret by Kenny McGovern influenced me to research ethnic foods and giving myself the goal of trying to make a dish from every country in the world (similar to my world literature project, just with food instead). Odd One Out - The Maverick's Guide to Adult ADD by Jennifer Koretsky made it a lot easier to deal with my ADD.

Men skjebnen gir henne et grusomt valg - en mulighet til å unnslippe...

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to recieve a press copy of the poetry collection This Wound Is a World by Billy-Ray Belcourt through Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards and today I'll post my review. Description from Goodreads The new edition of a prize-winning memoir-in-poems, a meditation on life as a queer Indigenous man—available for the first time in the U.S. “i am one of those hopeless romantics who wants every blowjob to be transformative.” Billy-Ray Belcourt’s debut poetry collection, This Wound Is a World, is “a prayer against breaking,” writes trans Anishinaabe and Métis poet Gwen Benaway. “By way of an expansive poetic grace, Belcourt merges a soft beauty with the hardness of colonization to shape a love song that dances Indigenous bodies back into being. This book is what we’ve been waiting for.” Part manifesto, part memoir, This Wound Is a World is an invitation to “cut a hole in the sky to world inside.” Belcourt issues a call to turn to love and...

Hva skjer om du dør på ferie i syden? Hvordan ser et dødt menneske ut etter å ha ligget i havet? Hvor...

I jakten på norsk faglitteratur, endte jeg opp med å låne Otto Ruge - hærføreren av Tom Kristiansen på biblioteket og i dag kommer omtalen av boka. Beskrivelse fra forlaget Det tyske angrepet 9. april 1940 skapte kaos i både den politiske og den militære ledelsen i Norge. Under et ampert møte med justisminister Terje Wold 10. april tok kommanderende general Kristian Laake til orde for forhandlinger med tyskerne. Dette ble oppfattet som defaitisme og førte til Laakes avskjed. Dagen etter ble Otto Ruge utnevnt til ny sjef for landets militærmakt i krig. Stillingen stilte ekstreme krav til militært håndverk og diplomati, og framfor alt til synlig lederskap i et land i bunnløs krise - krav som Ruge oppfylte til gagns. Mot alle odds og tross sviktende bistand fra de allierte lyktes det å holde en overlegen fiende stangen i to måneder. Deretter dro kongen, kronprinsen og regjeringen i eksil, mens general Ruge - frivillig - gikk i krigsfangenskap. Dette er den første biografien ov...

Last month I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC of the novel The Unexpected Past of Miss Jane Austen (The Austen Adventures #2) by Cass Grafton and Ada Bright through Netgalley.

A while ago I was fortunate enough to recieve a digital press copy of the picture book Magic Words - From the Ancient Oral Tradition of the Inuit by Edward Field through Netgalley. As it fitted into the 2019 Diversity Reading Challenge, I read it and now it's time for the review. Description from Goodreads Magic Words describes a world where humans and animals share bodies and languages, where the world of the imagination mixes easily with the physical. It began as a story that told how the Inuit people came to be and became a legend passed from generation to generation. In translation it grew from myth to poem. The text comes from expedition notes recorded by Danish explorer Knud Rasmussen in 1921. Edward Field got a copy from the Harvard Library and translated it into English. My Thoughts on the Book Magic Words was an enjoyable and whimsical read. In a sense it was the illustrations which made this story come alive, but I wish both the illustrator and the author ...
