More romance in Swedish

En enda hemlighet (Falling) by Simona Ahrnstedt

April 30, 2024 by Malin Leave a Comment

The readers met both the protagonists in this novel briefly in the first book in the series, En enda natt, which is also where they first ran into each other. At the beginning of this book, idealistic doctor Isobel Sørensen is angry and stressed because the organisation she works for most of the year, Medpax, is struggling for funds, and she’s becoming convinced that it’s her fault. On the previous occasions when she has run into Alexander de la Grip and he’s tried to flirt […]

People Who Made a Difference” Or “People Who Tried”

Joey: The Story of Joe Biden by Jill Biden and Kathleen Krull

Dr. Fauci: How a Boy from Brooklyn Because America's Doctor by Kate Messner

King Of Ragtime: The Story of Scott Joplin by Stephen Costanza

November 29, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I do not care what you think about Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, or Scott Joplin (he fits my theme, if not a smidgen loosely, which is “People Who Made a Difference” Or “People Who Tried”), but these books are really cool. Okay, not “cool” as in The Fonz was cool or a snowman is cool, but in the way that a good book can be cool. Each of the below titles (though all are available, I read via online reader copies) talks about how […]

Other people read these books too, right? …right?

September 4, 2016 by Blingle Bells 1 Comment

I’m starting to feel slightly weird and sheepish about the number of medical memoirs I’ve read both lately and in general. I realized I might have a problem when I finished this one and instead of thinking “Whew, time for a breather on this type of book,” I thought, “Oh, no. I hope I haven’t read them all…maybe ranking this one will generate some new Goodreads suggestions.” The fact is, I just gulp these books down and have from childhood. I come from a family […]
