Omtale; Min sønn av Arne Svingen

I fjor var jeg såpass heldig at jeg fikk tilsendt et leseeksemplar av kortromanen Min sønn av Arne Svingen fra forlaget. Nå har jeg lest boka og i dag kommer omtalen.

Beskrivelse fra forlaget
Hvor langt ville du gått for å redde ditt eget barn? Midt på natta oppdager Jorunn at sønnen, Ronny, kommer hjem med blod på klærne. Dagen etter er klærne borte. Jorunn frykter at en konfrontasjon vil ødelegge et allerede skjørt mor--sønn-forhold. Ikke er hun sikker på at det virkelig var blod, heller. Men da roen i hjemmet igjen har senket seg, skjer det noe som snur opp-ned på alt sammen, og Jorunn må handle. Men hvor langt er hun er villig til å gå for å redde sønnen sin. Min sønn andre bok i serien med frittstående romaner inspirert av De ti bud. Denne boken tar utgangspunkt i det det fjerde budet: Du skal hedre din far og din mor.

Mine tanker om boka
Min sønn er en kortroman med interessante karakterer og en historie med flere vendinger. Jeg hadde i tillegg sans for skrivestilen og språket til forfatteren, som gjorde at det ble enda kjekkere og lese boka.

Annoncing the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge

As it's 2023 in less than two months, I figured out it was time to annouce the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge. 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 ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors with chronic health issues Characters/authors in wheelchairs Characters/autho
