Apparently #FridayFilms isn't already a thing. I plan to watch Ingmar Bergman's Nattvardsgästerna (usually called 'Winter Light' or 'The Communicants' in the US) tonight with my adult daughter.
bailedDivorce is a difficult topic for a book& although the writing is good, it feels too much like a reality tv show where we get too close to a couple &witness something that should be private. It doesn‘t help that Bea &Niklas are both unlikeable characters.Bea “sacrificed” career for the sake of family & with divorce looming has financial worries, that feel very real for many women even today.Yet she also loves luxury items
bailedThis just didn‘t fulfill its potential, in my opinion, and I feel like 40% through is a fair shake. The characters felt really surface-level, and the situations were more silly than entertaining. The book felt more like a series of loosely connected short stories that weren‘t that great — this may be a translation issue, or maybe this one just isn‘t for me. There are just a lot of books I‘d rather be reading.

The story alternates between WWII and the present, revealing secrets of espionage, romance, and murder linked to Nazi activities in Sweden
Deep deep dive into the Kindle for this one — just about (not quite tho) the oldest unread book on there. I hope it is as fun as it sounds!
pickOne of the best fiction books I've read in a long time!!
