Top Ten Tuesday; Books To Read If You Love Nordic Crime Fiction

It's Tuesday and perhaps time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was books to read if you love X, so I ended up choosing Nordic crime fiction. Quite a few titles on my list have a Nordic Noir vibe to them, if you're into that stuff.


Here's my picks.

I Will Miss You Tomorrow by Heine Bakkeid

The Legacy by Yrsa Sigurdardottir

The Hanging by Lotte and Søren Hammer

The Girl Without Skin by Mads Peder Nordbo

The Silent Girl by Hjorth & Rosenfeldt

The Invisible Man From Salem by Christoffer Carlsson

The Last Pilgrim by Gard Sveen

I'm Travelling Alone by Samuel Bjørk

Midwinter Sacrifice by Mons Kallentoft

Requiem by by Geir Tangen

    I've only read a couple Nordic crime novels, but I did enjoy them. Love learning about other countries and cultures.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

    Nordic crime has such a specificity to it! Great list. :)

    Happy TTT!

    I haven't read any of these, as I'm not really into the heavy crime books. But the covers of these all draw me in.

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...
