Smakebit på Søndag; The Nidderdale Murders av J. R. Ellis

Jeg fant ut det var på tide med en ny Smakebit på Søndag, som Betraktninger og Flukten fra virkeligheten har ansvaret for.

Boka jeg vil ta for meg i dag er krimromanen The Nidderdale Murders av J. R. Ellis, som jeg leste for litt siden. Boka omhandler drapet på en tidligere dommer, som bosatte seg i Yorkshire Dales etter han pensjonerte seg. Politietterforskeren Oldroyd og teamet får saken, og etter hvert blir nok en person drept.

Her kommer smakebiten;
"It was a crisp, clear Friday morning in mid-September on the high moorland fells above Nidderdale, one of the Yorkshire dales. Early mist had cleared and the sky was blue. The lush fields were dotted with sheep and cows. The trees in the scattered areas of woodland were still in full leaf, but the bright green of summer was slowly fading to yellows and browns."

    Underbart vackert omslag liksom den beskrivande texten. Jag läser sällan deckare men tittar gärna på deckare på tv framför allt de som utspelar sig på öde och vackra platser, som denna! Tack för smakbit

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
