Bookish Blog Hops (Valentine's Hop); My Favourite Place To Read

I've decided to participate in the Valentine's version of Bookish Blog Hops (group can be found on Facebook). I'm not going to do all of the days, but some are better than none.

The question for today was "Where is your favourite place to read?".

Well, apart from my couch, I do have a weak spot for reading at coffee shops and cafés such as Espresso House or Coffeeberry.

Announcing the 2021 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
Considering all the sad and tragic events this year, such as the murder of George Floyd, the harassment of Asian due to Covid-19, and now the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I decided reviving the Diversity Reading Challenge for next year. 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 or characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist the

Omtale; Djeveldansen av Tore Aurstad og Carina Westberg

Image
I fjor var jeg såpass heldig at jeg fikk tilsendt et leseeksemplar av krimromanen Djeveldansen av Tore Aurstad og Carina Westberg fra forlaget. Nå har jeg til slutt lest den og i dag kommer omtalen. Beskrivelse fra forlaget Fascinerende personer, eksotiske miljøer og hendelser som vil holde deg limt til sidene: la Djeveldansen lede deg inn i Kristianias farligste miljø. Året er 1900, og Kristiania rammes av flere drap der likene er ille tilredt. Fullmektig Theodor Wulfsberg og hans betjent Bernt Nystuen frykter at Kristiania står over for en lystmorder som Londons Jack the Ripper. En særegen tatovering leder etterforskerne til et miljø med utspring i Berlins dekadente kunstnerkretser. Motivkretsen er mørk og dristig, og snart avdekkes også forbindelser til en kynisk underverden. Djeveldansen er i gang! Tore Aurstad og Carina Westberg er forfattere og oversettere. Sammen har de skrevet en rekke bøker for barn og unge, der mysteriet står i fokus. De krimdebuterte med den kritikerro

Review; A Christmas Carol by Philip Gooden and Charles Dickens

Image
Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC of A Christmas Carol by Philip Gooden and Charles Dickens through Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards and today I'll post my review. Description from Goodreads Who can help a mean old man to love Christmas? How about a ghost? (…or three!) Scrooge’s heart is colder than snow, he’s richer than half the banks in England and meaner than, well, everyone. But when three seriously spooky ghosts turn up to take him on an adventure through time, he soon learns that being cold isn’t cool. Can he change his ways before it’s too late? About The Charles Dickens Children's Collection: Bah humbug! Who says the classics are just for adults? Join Ebeneezer Scrooge on his ghostly Christmas adventure, or follow orphaned Oliver Twist from rags to riches in some of literature's most famous tales from the foggy streets of Victorian London.Adapted and illustrated for children aged 7+.
