Smakebit på Søndag; Little Bookshop of Murder: A Beach Reads Mystery av Maggie Blackburn

Jeg fant ut det var på tide med en ny Smakebit på Søndag, som Betraktninger og Flukten fra virkeligheten har ansvaret for.

Boka jeg vil dele en smakebit fra i dag er en cosy mystery som heter Little Bookshop of Murder: A Beach Reads Mystery og er skrevet av Maggie Blackburn. Den omhandler en Shakespeare-forsker med navnet Summer Merriweather som har arvet en bokhandel etter moren som døde på mystisk vis. Da Summer flytter inn i huset til moren, finner hun i tillegg noen truende brev sendt til moren.

"Summer Merriweather slipped off her flip-flops, allowing the sand’s warmth to comfort the bottom of her feet like it had thousands of times before. She looked out over the waves, the water shimmering in the soft pink morning light. She walked toward the water and gazed over the horizon—the line between the sky and sea barely visible. A seagull cried in the distance. Another one flew in front of her and landed on the wet, shiny sand. “Sorry, I have nothing for you today.” As if understanding, the gull flew off across the water."

    Jeg blandet denne sammen med A Murder for the Books (Blue Ridge Library Mysteries #1) som jeg har satt på leselisten min. En serie jeg håper å få kjøpt til Kindelen etter at jeg er ferdig med å lese Agaha Christie :-)
    Ha en riktig fin søndag!

      Er dessverre noe usikker, da jeg sjeldent ser norske oversettelse av alle de cosy mystery bøkene jeg har lest opp gjennom årene.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. 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 ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w

Review; The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana

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. Description from Goodreads From the author of international horror sensation Gone to See the River Man comes a new tale of terror that will drag you to the darkest corners of the soul. Some girls are fearful, others are brave. One girl’s a princess, the next one, a slave. But all girls are equal, when they’re down in this cave, until just one is left standing—The Prettiest Girl in the Grave. It’s only supposed to be a game. When Bella, Celeste, and Rose meet with new friends at a graveyard in the woods, they soon realize they’re unprepared for what’s planned. At twenty-four, Aubrey is older than the high schoolers, and she knows of a secret game that’s been played by local girls for decades. It starts with personal questions, but quickly moves on to a test of courage as Aubrey guides them into an underground crypt. But even Aubrey doesn’t know w
