Stallo: What If Something Is Out There? | 
pickI loved the storyline about trolls in Sweden abducting children. The various types of troll, from very small to giant, was interesting. I do not know much about Swedish folklore, but these were not the type of trolls I am used to. The setting of the book was amazing. The frozen land was so intriguing to me, and the trials of day to day living when everything is freezing.
so-soI so wanted to like this. The premise was good, based on old Swedish tales of the Stallo, who appear in this story as shapeshifting trolls that are linked to disappearing children. It wasnt bad, but felt way longer than it needed to be. I also felt that the pace of the story was all over the place, which meant i struggled to engage with the characters.
First post in a good while, hope everyone is doing well. About half way through this one and seriously hoping it picks up the pace a bit!
Todays used bookstore mini mini #bookhaul - the third of the month already. My TBR pile is slowly becoming a feat of architecture 😂
bailedWhat is the bookish equivalent of ‘it‘s not you, it‘s me‘? I stuck it out for 150 pages. It has an intriguing start, but switches gears pretty quickly to a slow burn that I just wasn‘t in the mood for. I‘ll keep it on the TBR shelf in case I get inspired to give it another shot.
Kicking it all off with a little horror because ... 2017.
