Smakebit på Søndag; Roanoke Ridge av J. J. Dupuis

Smakebit på søndag blir arrangert hver uke av Betraktninger og Flukten fra virkeligheten som bytter på ansvaret.

Nå nylig leste jeg en krim/mysterie-roman som heter Roanoke Ridge skrevet av J. J. Dupuis. Boka omhandler blant annet en forsker som forsvinner i skogen, et mord og Bigfoot.

Her er i hvert fall smakebiten, som er fra det første kapittelet.

"There is nothing out here but trees. No restaurants or gas stations. Just trees on either side of the highway, broken up by the odd rocky outcropping or pond filled with cattails and floating logs. In the distance, far from any roads or trails, I can see pristine old-growth patches of western hemlock and Douglas fir. 
The radio is on. Some kind of folk music plays between static crackles. Saad isn’t listening to it; neither am I. We’re not talking. Maybe we used up all the conversation on the flight from Cleveland. We flew into Sacramento this morning instead of Portland because it’s closer, and we wouldn’t have to wait another day until the next flight into Medford."

    Bigfoot?! Ja men det lät ju kul! Jag hoppades att den skulle finnas på Storytel, men tyvärr. Snyggt omslag också.

      Tror nok den dessverre ikke finnes der, beklageligvis. Men ja, Bigfoot kan være veldig kjekt. :-)

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...
