I have new books arriving almost weekly, but this week’s new arrivals are worth mentioning!

Bokus.com is having a clearance sale with up to 90% discount on a wide selection of children’s books, biographies, thrillers, and on and on. No prize for guessing… I went straight to ‘work’! […]

A new batch of books arrived last week on Friday. This time, I tried something different. Instead of buying from my default online bookseller, namely Bokus.com (when I buy Swedish books), I decided to get this batch of books directly from the publisher instead. The said publisher is Studentlitteratur.

For this read-aloud I have done something different. I used a Warcraft special effect (can you guess which one?). Happy listening!

More than two weeks ago, I presented Tove Jansson to my classmates and teacher. This was one of the assignments one must complete in the Swedish komvux: a 10-minute presentation about a Swedish author.
