Smakebit på Søndag; Lace and Lies (Vampire Knitting Club #7) av Nancy Warren

Det er søndag og kanskje på tide at jeg skriver et nytt innlegg i Smakebit på søndag, arrangert av bokbloggen Betraktninger.

Nylig leste jeg Lace and Lies av Nancy Warren, en paranormal cosy mystery med noen hekser og vampyrer, hvor den ene heksa, Lucy, driver en strikkebutikk i Oxford (og bor i leiligheten i andre etasjen). I denne boka skal butikken være med i en TV serie om strikking, men ting går ikke helt etter planen, da noen blir drept i strikkebutikken hennes.

Uansett, smakebiten jeg har lyst til å dele, omhandler vampyrene og at de bor i tunnelene som går under strikkebutikken og Oxford.
"Honestly, having a bunch of vampires living below me was like having too many older, wiser relatives living in the basement suite. They were a bunch of know-it-alls, and even though I never thought any of them would revert to savagery and drain me of blood, I was always aware that they could. Frankly, I thought they used that knowledge against me."

    Jeg må si at jeg syntes det var veldig morsomt med en vampyr som driver strikkebutikk :-) Ha en riktig fin søndag!

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...
