I‘ve had this on my shelf for a long time & I‘d really like to tackle it this year! Is anyone interested in a buddy read?
It‘s a trilogy of historical novels set in 14th-c Norway, originally published in 1920, 1921 & 1922. These would work well for anyone finishing the #192025 challenge this year. I‘m planning to use the first 2 books for 1920 &1921.
Let @BarbaraJean know if you would like to join.

I was thinking May—July or June—August, one book per month. Comment if you‘re interested!
Mattis knows he isn‘t a good worker and that he isn‘t quite as smart as everyone else but it still bothers him that his neighbors all refer to him as Simple Simon. Still he has the birds he loves to watch and his sister who endlessly knits to keep them both fed. However when a stranger arrives Mattis‘s life feels more uncertain. A lovely book about an unforgettable character.
The beginning of this year has seen me continuing my journey through small press and translated fiction. This is the story of a Norwegian girl who goes on a school semester in Australia where she ends up living in a renovated brewery with another girl. The brewery has only thin walls and the borders between the girls and sound and reality blur. While it was an interesting exploration of intimacy and loneliness it didn‘t fully work for me.
“Sick days” are for staying in bed and reading 📖 Half-way through my pile of Jo Nesbo books.

Kristin Lavransdatter was a #roll100 pick for December so I decided I would read book 1: The Wreath. Didn‘t quite finish it before the end of the year, but I did finish it yesterday.
This was lovely! Kristin is a strong heroine who struggles to balance love & obedience to her family & God with her own desires for her life. I was captivated by this portrait of medieval Norway. I also found some of Kristin‘s internal conflict to be true to life. ⬇️
Started this book yesterday and I'm hoping it's a nice, cozy winter read. It does seem like it could be the perfect book for a winter read. I'm also absolutely obsessed with this beautiful bookmark I got for Christmas 😍.
