Smakebit på Søndag; Seraphina av Rachel Hartman

Det er på tide med en ny Smakebit på Søndag, som Betraktninger og Flukten fra virkeligheten har ansvaret for.

I dag vil jeg ta for meg fantasy-romanen Seraphina som er skrevet av Rachel Hartman. Boka omhandler Seraphina, som er halvt drage og ender opp i hoffet som musiker. Hun må skjule hvem hun er, og ting blir mer komplisert da et medlem av kongefamilien blir drept.

Smakebiten jeg vil dele omhandler bøker og kunnskap.
"Orma moved a pile of books of a stool for me but seated himself directly on another stack. This habit of his never ceased to amuse me. Dragons no longer hoarded gold; Comonot's reformes had outlawed it. For Orma and his generation, knowledge was treasure. As dragons through the ages had done, he gathered it, and then he sat on it."

    Oorma er en interessant personlighet (draglighet?). Ble nysgjerrig på hvordan det er å være halv menneske/halvt drage. Digger navnet Seraphina.

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...
