The month of June started off promising, but I struggled to finish four books. To be completely honest, the last one I actually finished either on the first or second of July, but I’ll count it towards this month. They were actually all great reads, with The Overnight Guest just okay.  Let me get to […]

The month of May was pretty decent reading-wise. I ended up reading a total of six books, one of which was a five-star! Then I had three four-star books and two books that I gave three stars. Overall, I can consider it a successful month. Let’s see which books I’m talking about. The Harbor by […]

I had high hopes that in April I would be able to read two books a week. Although I came very close, I did not achieve the goal I set for myself. I still got through seven books. That is pretty respectable, if I may say so myself. I squeezed in Reckless Girls the last […]

Stefan Ahnhem Hello, friends! I thought I would start a monthly author spotlight series for you, fellow bookworms.  First, I thought I would only do a yearly  Nordic Noir feature in November, but now I’m thinking a monthly feature is feasible.

Introduction Hello friends, glad to see you here again. February started off as a very promising reading month for me, but I only ended up finishing four books. I began reading three others as well, but some library loans came in so I had to put mine back to finish off later. One of them […]

  Hey friends! As promised, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite books of 2021. Originally I was planning to do a favorite book per month. But some months I have more than one favorite, and a couple of months the reads were just not that memorable.  That is the reason I’m so late with […]

  To finish up this year, I’ve read a few solid books in the month of December. Some I have enjoyed tremendously, some, not so much. Still drudging through that collection of short stories I started back in October, I must say I’m really not loving it. I’m determined to finish it before 2022 though, […]

    A week late posting but with the holidays approaching, I’ve been a little busier than anticipated. But here goes my tally of November reads.   November is a dreary and gloomy month, yet it’s my favorite time of year. You might think I’m weird, and that’s okay because it’s Nordic Noir November!!!  Just […]
