This book takes place over an entire year, so technically there is snowy setting. 🥶❄️ but seriously, there is a portion that takes place in winter where Mikael is snowed in his cabin.

#WhereAreYouMonday

Södermalm. A Stockholm neighbourhood where Mikael Blomkvist the MMC of the Millennium Series lives.

I have wanted to visit Sweden and do the Millennium tour since the books came out. ❤️

I had intended to get through all 6 books this month, but I seemed to forget that these are some thick boys. My editions are all between 500-800 pages 😆

I don't read a lot of thrillers, but there was a time I read Nordic Noir and the tagged series was one of my favorite. I also liked The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson, the Joona Linna series by Lars Kepler (these kept me up at night), And, my all-time time Nordic Noir author was the Department Q series by Jussi Adler Olsen (it had some humor).

Chelsea.Poole Thank you! I am unfamiliar with several you mentioned — looking into them now 😊 1w
tpixie Nordic Noir is a perfect way to describe the series 1w
DogMomIrene @tpixie Totally agree! I loved the original trilogy? Have you read the books written under his name after he died? Any good? 6d

I enjoyed it. An older woman on YT considered it one of her favorite police procedurals, so I gave it a try. This husband and wife writing team wrote a number of these types of books. #SwedishAuthors, #Budapest. I really liked the setting. This may be the first book I‘ve ever read set in Budapest (well, most of it was set there).

A lovely experience that makes me so, SO glad not to be in my twenties anymore! 😅 Well-known term or not (don't forget the Afterword), an Age of License is probably something that could happen at different times in your life as long as the confluence of factors, (feeling untethered from family and routine, having the resources and opportunity for travel, uncertain of long term plans), exist, but I think that more often happens 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? in your twenties. Lucy has very relatable see-sawing concerns as she thinks about the potential of her present and what she wants her future to be.
I also think it's pretty often that young women especially find themselves on the rebound and swept up in the heteronormative romanticism of a brief love affair dictated by specific circumstances; I appreciate that Lucy's narration makes it clear she recognized the moments of incompatibility and

Robotswithpersonality 3/? and came to a clear conclusion about the feasibility of the relationship. I think that's still a useful thing to see in print/images for the many young people who might get carried away in something not ultimately the best for them long term. 2w
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 As with my favourite travelogues, there's a simple joy shown in the beauty of places, the food, moments taken to enjoy history, art, culture, and the occasional anecdote related to people journeyed with or met along the way. I really appreciated the full colour watercolour(?) interstitials and introductory images breaking up the black and white comic sequences.
I will continue to seek out Knisley's work.
