Smakebit på Søndag; The Devil of Echo Lake

Nok en Søndag, og nok et blogginnlegg inspirert av temaet til Flukten fra virkeligheten

Tidligere i uka fikk jeg et lese-eksemplar av boka "The Devil of Echo Lake" av Douglas Wynn via Early Reviewers på LibraryThing. Jeg har kommet et stykke i boka og til nå virker den spennende. Boka kommer inn under skrekk/overnaturlig/thriller kategorien og omhandler rockeren Billy Moon og den hjemsøkte plassen Echo Moon, som også huser platestudioet hvor han gjør opptak til sin neste plate.

"The Devil of Echo Lake" er forfatterens debut-roman og blir lansert 19. oktober.

"It was dark—very late or very early. Was there a faint light growing in the stained glass windows above? He couldn’t be sure. Maybe it was moonlight. Who could be calling at this hour? He stepped down and down, his shinbones aching, and at last he came to the bottom. Behind him were the oak doors. He went to them, grasped the handle of the one on the right, clicked the catch with his thumb and pulled it open. The dark air was cool and still. Even the insects had quit for the night. There was no one there."

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...
