I have been holding off reading this cause I guess I just didn't want Beartown to end..I guess it's a good time to read it with Christmas nearly here and the snow falling outside..love winter
pickThis was a very dark gritty horror. I can‘t say it wasn‘t well done, but I will say I wanted to be done reading it atleast 100 pages before it ended. it was endlessly gory & the bullying Oskar experienced was stomach turning. I‘m not typically squeamish but it got to be ALOT. I love a gross ugly vampire story & the atmospheric mystery surrounding Oskar‘s neighbor delivered for sure.
My #FridayBookShare for #MidwinterSolace is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Not a comfy read, but it‘s one of my favorite mysteries, and the most suspenseful scenes take place in winter.

pickFredrik Backman pulls all the feels from you …. Within a story that consist of a beautiful relationship between grandmother and granddaughter… this will have you wanting to fight for the main child character, engaged in the story, laughing at some of the antics, and crying all within the covers of this read. Loved every word and this author is in my top 5 loved authors list
pickThis is a humorous novel that had to grow on me. The premise is silly - a reality show of Americans set in Sweden with Swedish heritage. The characters are well developed, and I particularly enjoyed learning so much about the geography, culture and customs of Sweden and Swedes.
pickThe first in a series, I liked this story about a woman investigating the death of a former best friend. The small town setting in Sweden is interesting and while many of the characters are familiar types, there are juicy secrets to uncover and a satisfying ending that leaves you marveling at the terrible reasons people do even worse things. Pacing is slow but the translation is good. I‘ll probably continue with the series at some point.
