Europe divided into two by the fearful iron wall and the fear between people.

The addition to dating through a 30 year old Swedish woman. It gives a view of how dating becomes a thing of its own rather than finding someone or being someone someone else wants to find.

Interesting view on how we handle crisis and problems in a union. Also an intersection view of the members in the union.

Brev till mannen | Bianca Kronlöf
Pickpick

This book is not written for me. I‘m a woman and the purpose of this book is both to communicate with men and discuss toxic masculinity. It is straight answers to violence and harmful systems and happenings that we should not except and especially it men.

An interesting introduction to monster studies, horror culture and meaning and being of monsters.

Vi är fem | Matias Faldbakken
Pickpick

If you are in need of a fairytale story to get sucked into - this is a good pick. As a reader you follow a family in Norway and how they are, change, where. This is an entertaining story both for adults and younger readers. Why not reed this to each other in a group or family?

Ett litet liv | Hanya Yanagihara
Mehso-so

The characters seem to me far from reality with both their personality and their setting and success. It is to me hard to see how Jude got the friends and family he gets through out the story without ever sharing anything about himself, taking part in anything and being afraid of physical touch. Maybe thats the point of the story as well, to be a bit schizophrenic. To show the contradicting sides of being mentally ill and having family.

Åtstramning till döds | Sanjay Basu, David Stuckler
Pickpick

I found this book quite interesting. That it is so obvious how linked the public health spending especially in crisis is to health and death. It is terrifying that world leaders are not held more accountable for their actions especially when there are numbers and studies backing up what they should do rather then what they do.

Painfully true about the defunding of the public sector and how it affects the people in it.

A story of death, family and changes. This book is truly unique and well worth the time to read.

A story that takes you along on some aspects of growing up and being a woman. I do not feel that the author judges or moralise over the incidents and feelings and gives room for just reading the story on your own.

Passage | Justin Cronin

Entertaining (if you can say so about an apocalyptic story) and Hollywood ish setting of characters and happenings. Good read for those days you need to unwind

Trion | Johanna Hedman
Pickpick

The scenery might be more interesting if you live In Stockholm or grew up there. The story however is both more free from time and place. When do you really know someone and what does it mean to share a life or part of a life?

Dark Matter (UK) | Michelle Paver
Pickpick

Read this book in Swedish. it is interesting when you also live north (not as far as the arctic though) to read about the perception of darkness, fear and needs of humans.
It is a well written ghost story. Perfect for dark winter nights.

En tickande bomb | linnea Lindquist

Interesting observations about how big changes in the Swedish school system has had effects far beyond the school walls.

blurb

Makes you think what is really worth something in life and what you would do if you had or willingly would give up a lot of your daily life for a very different one.

Pond | Claire-Louise Bennett

Not sure how to summarize what I've read. It's like walking in to someones thoughts and watching through their view of the world but still just a glimts of whats really going on.

Interesting reasoning about food, production and climate and the complexity that comes with it for politics and citizens. The book is written from a Swedish perspective but also with a global analysis.

Interesting and makes you think about the bigger picture. We need to see some more political work in this area for a secure future.

I'm sorry but this book is as interesting as reading about the spice girls characters. All are stereotype and without personality. The story goes from nothing to nowhere.
