Smakebit på Søndag; Bobbles and Broomsticks av Nancy Warren

Det er søndag og kanskje på tide at jeg hoster opp et nytt innlegg i forbindelse med Smakebit på søndag, som blir arrangert av Betraktninger.

Boka jeg skal ta for meg i dag er en cosy mystery som heter Bobbles and Broomsticks, skrevet av Nancy Warren, og er en bok i Vampire Knitting Club serien. I denne boka skal to av vennene til Lucy gifte seg, men ting går mildt sagt ikke helt etter planen da en av gjestene får en gedigen bjelke over seg i kirka.

Smakebiten derimot, omhandler noe helt annet, nemlig å fly på sopelime.
"Was she having me on? I turned back to Margaret, but she really wasn't the joking type. "Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?" I couldn't even say the words. It was too ridiculous.
"Learning to fly? Of course I am."
"Great, maybe I can join the Oxford Quidditch team."
There really was such a thing. I'd seen them play at University Parks, though they played an earthbound version and I'd yet to see a real witch among them.

    Känner inte till boken eller författaren. Tack för smakbiten.
    Vampire Knitting Club verkar onekligen vara en annorlunda vampyrbok. :)

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...
