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 […]

#CBR15 Passport Challenge: Books from different countries (set in and written by a Swedish author, read in Swedish) CBR15 Bingo: Europe (see description for Passport Challenge) Official book description (translated by me): Folk med ångest (literally translated as People with anxiety, official English title Anxious People) is an unusually messy comedy about a hostage drama during an apartment showing, where a failed bank robber locks themselves in with an overly enthusiastic realtor, two bitter IKEA-addicts, a mean multimillionaire, a sad lady, a very pregnant woman, […]

Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

December 11, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

Maria and Peter share one unforgettable night of passion together, which leads to some awkwardness after Maria leaves without so much as a note the next morning. They then discover that they’re about to become co-stars on the incredibly popular fantasy show Gods of the Gates.

“she allowed people to act in accordance with their own preconceptions”

An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good (Elderly Lady, #1) by Helene Tursten

July 17, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I definitely want more from Maud, the old lady who never met a problem she couldn’t just casually murder. I had this out from my library so long they charged me for a replacement copy, which is dumb of me because it’s the world’s shortest read. I finished it off in less than two hours. (Don’t worry, I returned it, and me and the library are all good now.) It is seriously a teeny little book, like five inches tall and three inches wide. A […]

“Being a parent makes you feel like a blanket that’s always too small.”

Björnstad (Beartown) by Fredrick Backman

October 24, 2021 by Malin 3 Comments

CBR13 Bingo: Sports Ball (could easily also be used as Rec’d, since a lot of Cannonballers have read and reviewed it favourably) Official book description: People say Beartown is finished. A tiny community nestled deep in the forest, it is slowly losing ground to the ever encroaching trees. But down by the lake stands an old ice rink, built generations ago by the working men who founded this town. And in that ice rink is the reason people in Beartown believe tomorrow will be better […]
