Dewey's Readathon; Getting to Know You Survey

Dewey's Readathon has already started, so I'm kind of late answering the "Getting to Know You Survey", but I'll answer it anyway.

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Bryne, Norway
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? Probably The Charm of Lost Chances by Lucia N. Davis.
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Cinnamon rolls and coffee (Jacked O' Lantern - Pumpkin Spice blend by Bones Coffee)
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I'm so into books that my friends joke I'm a book dragon, not a bookworm. I also dream of having a dedicated library room in my future home.
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to? Even though I've participated multiple times, I don't remember from readathon to readathon what I did on the last, but this time I'm not reading any poetry. Instead, I'm planning on reading a non-fiction book about World War Two, a novella and a horror novel.

    Kjekt at det er så mange som er med også denne gangen, når jeg endelig henger meg på:-) Kjenner ikke noen av bøkene du leser, mend e ser spennende ut. Har med essaysamlingen til Ravatn hvis jeg skulle trenge noe sakprosa. Foreløpig har jeg lest Vi skulle vært løver av Line Baugstø, en barnebok for mellomtrinnet.

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

Image
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
