BOOK LOVERS is the first book I’ve read by Emily Henry and it’s also the first romance novel after almost a decade of hiatus from reading this genre. Did I regret succumbing to reading a (bookish) rom-com this Swedish summer? Not one bit!

The protagonist, Nora Stephens, is a successful book agent who lives in New York. She has had a series of unsuccessful relationships followed by breakups despite her best effort in screening them. Her character is seen as a hard-headed (stubborn?) […]

Ett hus utan speglar, by Mårten Sandén is one of the six books I bought during my first visit to the Jönköpings Stadsbibliotek bokloppis. I was attracted by its cover and intrigued by the title, which is A House without Mirrors in English.

I began reading it some time last week and was hooked. This book is great for reading aloud, so within two weeks, I finished reading all 155 pages—out loud—to Mister Pops my cat. […]

I started Wilbur Smith’s Ancient Egypt Series in 2015 beginning with River God and loved it to bits. A year later I restarted The Seventh Scroll but I just couldn’t get into the second book. I had wanted more of Taita but what I was getting was the account of […].

I’ve really enjoyed reading the Murderbot Diaries! I was looking for new books to read and found this series of sci-fi, fantasy novella.

I’ve finished reading the first two of the four novellas […]

I must admit I fear big books and THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH by Ken Follett is HUGE.
