Top Ten Tuesday; Books I Meant to Read In 2018, but Didn't Get To

It's Tuesday and time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week is books I meant to read in 2018, but didn't get to. It's fair to say I had planned to read a bunch of books and even if I read a susbstantial number of books, I didn't get the chance to read everything that I wanted to.

My picks are;

Urmakeren i Auschwitz by John Donoghue

Effekten av måneskinn på nyfallen snø by Tove Braathen

De tapte barna by Rosanna Ley

Kjærlighetens magiske regler by Alice Hoffman

Bare vente og se by Jelena Botsjorisjvili

Min datters far by Nenad Velickovic

Want You Dead by Peter James

Åte by Daniel Cole

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

Ingenlund; Morrigans forbannelse by Jessica Townsend

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
