Omtale; De ensomme hjerters bokhandel (Lonely Hearts Bookshop #1) by Annie Darling

For en stund siden leste jeg romanen De ensomme hjerters bokhandel (Lonely Hearts Bookshop #1) by Annie Darling etter å ha kommet over den på Løvås i Stavanger og i dag kommer omtalen.

Beskrivelse fra forlaget
Vi drømmer alle om den store kjærligheten. Kanskje finnes den der du minst venter det?

I den sjarmerende, lille bokhandelen Bookends i Bloomsbury har Posy Morland tilbragt oppveksten blant favorittbøkene sine – romantiske kjærlighetsromaner.

Når Bookends’ eksentriske eier, Lavinia, dør og etterlater butikken til Posy, har Posy overtatt en forretning i fritt fall. Dessuten har hun motvillig fått oppmerksomheten til Lavinias suksessrike dattersønn Sebastian.

Posy får to år på seg til å snu de fatale salgstallene og gjøre Bookends om til den bokhandelen hun alltid har drømt om – en bokhandel fylt av kjærlighetsromaner. Men mens Posy og de ansatte kjemper for at bokhandelen skal overleve, blander den irriterende Sebastian seg stadig inn. Og ikke bare i det virkelige livet, men også i Posys fantasier. For midt i arbeidet dukker de første setningene i en romantisk fortelling opp. Den handler om Sebastian Thorndyke, tredje greve av Bloomsbury, og miss Morland, med de silkemyke, kastanjebrune lokkene.

Mine tanke om boka
Det er en lettlest og sjarmerende roman med humor og bøker. Jeg likte flere av karakterene, selv om det var et par stykker jeg gjerne ville ha klappet til hvis jeg hadde hatt muligheten. Det som derimot irriterte meg litt var at den tidvis var klisjéfylt, samt noe forutsigbar.

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...
