The Smell of Ink/Lukten av Trykksverte

It's the end of yet another month, which means it's time to write a monthly summary including the book haul of the month and the books I've read. At the moment I have a gut feeling that next month's book haul is going to be pretty big as "Mammutsalget" is happening in the beginning of March and I have already pre-ordered roughly 13 books (*facepalm*). Anyway, here's the book haul for this month and the books I've read. Books I've Read Ingenlund - Morrigan's forbannelse by Jessica Townsend Der lyset slipper inn by Lucy Dillo The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris Under udalatrærne by Chinelo Okparanta The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas Venneforespørsel by Laura Marshall En modig datter by Renita D'Silva Vågespill by Ann Rosman Book Haul Thin Air by Michelle Paver (book through Blind Date with a Book Club) Stifinnerne by Reidar Kaarbø (press copy from the author) Vågespill by Ann Rosman (physical press copy from the publis...

Sent i fjor fikk jeg tilsendt et leseeksemplar av novellesamlinga Kvinnen som ble saget i to av Kari Slaatsveen fra forlaget og i dag kommer omtalen av boka. Beskrivelse fra forlaget En dag slo Otto Knagenhjelm hendene i bakebordet så melskyen sto! Og dro! Otto K er bare en av mange skikkelser vi møter i denne boka. De er alle midt i livet, et liv de prøver å finne seg til rette i, eller bryte opp fra. Her er det oppbrudd og opprørstrang, som utvalgte lesere nok kan kjenne seg igjen i på svært overraskende og tankevekkende måter - for i neste øyeblikk, eller på neste side, forstå at verden også henger sammen på et vis. Tekstene tar leseren med ut i skogen, inn i et kontorlandskap der en regnskapsfører drømmer seg bort i snirklete brosteinsgater i små italienske fjellandsbyer og et lite reisebyrå som har spesialisert seg på gruppereiser for enslige globetrottere, men også til Roar Smebyhaugens bryllup i den vesle kirka på Kapp, en tidlig junidag, der Totenlandet ligger nygrønt ...

Those of you who have followed this blog for a time, probably have figured out that I am a feminist. Due to that, I couldn't resist picking up Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit and today I'll post the review. Description from Goodreads In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the writer Virginia Woolf ’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry...
