pickA sweet book, partly read digitally and partly read by audiobook.
Read for reading challenges
3.75/5
pickThe True Deceiver was the second book we read in the Tove Jansson Author Spotlight Series, which are group reads, organized and hosted by Sarah @HardcoverHearts .
Again an amazing novel, this one set during a dark winter in Scandinavia. Who is the true deceiver among the small village people? It ends with a satisfying answer.
pickIt's bizarre books like this that make me want to live in Sweden (or anywhere in Scandinavia). I would love to see if the off-the-wall perspectives in Scandinavian fiction are universal within the culture, if they'd be accessible to an ex-pat, and if they would make up for the climate being as near the opposite as possible to the weather in San Diego (which has, unfortunately, become my baseline). This book is delightfully weird.
pickBritt Marie is the most unlikable character that you grow to love. The book is heart breaking and very real. It also shows that you are never too old to begin again and love your life. It ends on a cliff hanger, so the ending is unknown. But you find yourself rooting for Britt Marie 💜
The longest short novel I have ever read. And it snowed the whole time.
pick1974 –an island off the coast of Sweden.An entire family with the exception of toddler daughter Ebba,vanishes. 5 teens,now adults, were somehow involved. Decades later,Ebba,& her husband Tobias, return to the island to rebuild their life after family tragedy.Erica,with a research writer nose is interested in this old case.

I had absolutely no knowledge of this WWII & Hitler‘s vision & tie to Swedish stone.

On train to NYC. Visiting the Center for Book Arts in Flatiron district, lunch, & a bookstore! 🏙️🚊🥗📚☕️ #coffeeandbooks
pickSecond book in the Sandhamn Murders series was another great mystery set in the beautiful Stockholm Archipelago. The captain of a sailboat set to take part in the Round Gotland Race is fatally shot just as the starting gun is fired and the committee of the Royal Swedish Yacht Club find themselves suspects. It kept me turning the pages for the mystery, the ongoing personal stories and the backdrop of summertime on Sandhamn.
