What a brilliant book! In very few pages, Swift manages to incorporate love, loss, grief, WW1, writing, love of books, class, and more. Loved it! 📖📖📖📖📖 #LitsyAtoZ #s @BookishMarginalia

Gruesome but still a very interesting read!

At first I thought that it was a bit dull, but after a while I just wanted to keep listening to it. The story about this young girl seeking vengeance for her fathers murder is just brilliantly told. I will definitely read more from this author. Highly recommended! 📖📖📖📖 #LitsyAtoZ #p @BookishMarginalia

I like the way the author gets a lot said in so few pages. This one was good, but I prefer his other book, News from Berlin. 📖📖📖📖 #LitsyAtoZ #j @BookishMarginalia

A great read! Very powerful. 📖📖📖📖 #LitsyAtoZ #w @BookishMarginalia

I liked the first two parts, but the third part threw me off and I had a hard time finishing it. Interesting but unsatisfactory. 📖📖📖 #LitsyAtoZ #v @BookishMarginalia

Superb! I just Love these! 📖📖📖📖📖#LitsyAtoZ #g @BookishMarginalia

Oh! I really liked this one! A story of mothers and daughters, love, poverty, life. It's one of those books where it seems like nothing happen, apart from life itself. 📖📖📖📖#LitsyAtoZ #m @BookishMarginalia

Really don't know what to make of it yet.

Listening to this one now. Seems good.

Happy new year!

Great artwork, but the rest didn't live up to the expectations. 📖📖📖

The artwork is great, the story is good, but I just can't seem to muster up any enthusiasm for it. I don't think that I'll read vol 2.

Every night, Maja (a teenager) sets the alarm at 01:10 so that she wakes up in time for the blasts in the mine. If something goes wrong, she will be awake to save her family. She lives I Kiruna in the north of Sweden, a town which will be moved because of the mine. I really liked this YA-novel. 📖📖📖📖

What a brilliant little book! Despite being only 119 pages it contains so much. Loved it! 📖📖📖📖📖

This is one of my childhood favourites. I loved it then and I loved it now as well. As soon as my son gets old enough, I will definitely read this to him. 📖📖📖📖📖

It was ok, I think that I would probably have liked it more if I had read and not listened to it since I found the reader's accents a bit disturbing. Interesting settings, New Orleans in 1919. 📖📖📖

Great as usual, 7th book in a 10-book series. 📖📖📖📖

I didn't love it, but I really, really liked it! I think that I would have loved it if I had read it about 30 years ago... This edition was brilliant though. An introduction by Katherine Paterson and an afterword by L'Engles granddaughter gave me an insight into the book and its author, which was very nice since I didn't know much about either. 📖📖📖📖

At home with a cold. Time to try a classic!

Good story so far, but I'm not too fond of the 'theatrics', i e the accents, but at least there's no music added.

Great backstory in this one! Great series, can't wait to see what the next one is about. 📖📖📖📖

Josefin and Love go to London in the late 90s to work. They slowly drift apart and after a while Josefin disappears. 17 years later Love goes back to try and find out what happened. Great story and a great depiction of London at that point in time. I really recommend it!

Ah! Really liked this one! A horror story on a ferry between Sweden and Finland, you can't get off it and you can't call for help since you're too far out at sea... 📖📖📖📖

The haul from the Gothenburg Book Fair!

4 days at the Gothenburg Book Fair has taken it's toll and I'm dead tired. It has been great though. Lots of interesting seminars and it has been great to catch up with friends that I only meet once a year. ❤️

Listening now (Swedish version...).

It has a good enough plot and I liked how he depicted London in the 1930's, but that's about it. This is the first in a trilogy, but I will not listen to the other two.

I realt liked the first two in the series about Gamache, but this one (the third) wasn't quite as good. Maybe it was the new reader that put me off. 📖📖📖

This is definitely one of the best books I've read/listened to this year! The build up is brilliant, a story told by many different voices, but which version is the right one? Elizabeth Hand is an excellent writer. 📖📖📖📖📖

I just love these comics! They are fun, exciting and quirky. 👍😁. 📖📖📖📖

The cover made me pick it up. Halfway through and it's good!

Currently listening to this, the third book about Armand Gamache (homicide detective in Quebec. Unfortunately it isn't read by the same person who read the first two 😕

It has taken me two weeks to read half of it... :/ It is not bad, but not great either.

Brilliant! Awesome!
"I wish everyone had a kitten!" ?????

Loving it! ❤️

Hm, this is turning into an autumn project instead of a summer project. Well, well, nice and steady I'll get to the end eventually. Liking it though!

Oh, I'm really gonna miss the Wilde brothers. This was a great trilogy, exciting and funny and set in New York in the 1840s made all the better. 📖📖📖📖

Let's see what the hype is all about... ;-)

Bailed this one because it felt too "wordy" for me at the moment. Maybe I'll pick it up in the future.

What a beautiful book! I totally understand why it was nominated to the Man Booker Int, a pity that it didn't win. It reminded me of Stoner by John Williams. 📖📖📖📖

Currently reading this one and enjoying it immensely!

Starting this one now. It was shortlisted for the Man Booker International (2016).

This is not the kind of book that I would normally pick up, but I'm glad that I did. It was beautifully written, full with sadness and grief but also exciting and funny in parts. I really recommend listening to the audiobook since it's narrated by the author herself.

I just love the books about Cass Neary! They're well written and are really hard too put down once you've started reading. Hopefully there will be a fourth one...

The third and last book about Tim Wilde and his brother. :/

Just started listening to it and I'm loving it!

Just finished listening to this audio book and I liked it because there were no gratuitous violence in it. Violence yes (it is a crime novel after all...), but not the kind where you get to read/listen to every little gory detail. If there will be a sequel, I'll probably listen to that one as well.

I' m really enjoying this book about life in Finland in the 1900s through the lives of three different women.
