Dikt; In The Summer av Nizar Qabbani

In the summer
I stretch out on the shore
And think of you
Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me.

Image
It's Tuesday, which means it's time for another Top Ten Tuesday post courtesy of  That Artsy Reader Girl  and today's topic is books I wish I couldr read again for the first time. Here's my ten picks. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness Description from Goodreads Deep in the heart of Oxford's Bodleian Library, Diana Bishop—a young scholar and the descendant of witches—unearths an enchanted alchemichal manuscript. Wanting nothing to do with sorcery, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery has set a fantastical underworld stirring, and soon a horde of daemons, witches, and other creatures descends upon the library. Among them is the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, a vampire with a keen interest in the book.

For et par år siden var jeg såpass heldig at jeg fikk tilsendt et leseeksemplar av boka Djevelen i den hvite byen av Erik Larson fra forlaget. Jeg har til slutt somlet meg til å lese boka og i dag kommer omtalen av den. Beskrivelse fra forlaget Djevelen i den hvite byen er en skrekkelig og altoppslukende true crime om USAs første kjente seriemorder! Boken har ligget i over 350 uker på NY Times bestselgerliste, og det blir film i 2017 med Martin Scorsese i registolen og Leonardo DiCaprio i hovedrollen. Året er 1893. Chicago har fått æren av å arrangere den prestisjefylte verdensutstillingen. Ambisjonen er å overgå Paris, som fire år tidligere slo verden med undring og begeistring, ikke minst takket være Gustave Eiffels tårn. En gruppe unge, ambisiøse arkitekter og ingeniører klarer å bygge "den hvite byen" på rekordtid, og 28 millioner besøkende får smake CornFlakes, kjøpe glidelås, se levende film og kjøre pariserhjul for første gang. Mange av de besøkende er unge kvinne...

Review; Sell Low, Sweet Harriet (Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery #8) by Sherry Harris

Last year I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC of the cosy mystery Sell Low, Sweet Harriet (Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery #8) by Sherry Harris through Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards and today I'll post my review. Description from Goodreads ONE WOMAN'S TRASH . . . Sarah Winston's garage sale business has a new client: the daughter of a couple who recently died in a tragic accident while away on a trip to Africa. Their house is full of exotic items from around the world that need to be sold off.

And Sarah has enough on her plate right now since she's investigating a murder on the side at the nearby Air Force base, where her status as a former military spouse gives her a special kind of access. . . .
