thegirlwiththelibrarybag I didn‘t read Pippi until I was an adult but kid me was obsessed with “the new adventures of Pippi Longstocking” movie… watched it so much that I just about wore the VHS out. 4d

ravenlee @thegirlwiththelibrarybag me too! Except it was on Beta 😆. I had a fight with my older brother once when he called it a dubbed movie and I heard “dumb,” and it was the gravest insult imaginable. I flew at him, fists and feet flying, in defense of Pippi‘s honor. 4d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @ravenlee, lol but also very valid! 4d

The Fifth Woman: A Kurt Wallander Mystery | Henning Mankell

Well, I lied. In my last post I said I had a stack of books I got from a LFL that were going to wait until next summer. Well, I needed a book for a long car trip and grabbed this. I loved the Wallander TV series with Kenneth Branagh and have been eager to start the books. This is no. 6 in the series but if they used it for the TV series, I don‘t remember, which is good. I usually avoid reading mysteries that have been done as shows.

The Fifth Woman: A Kurt Wallander Mystery | Henning Mankell

pick

I like Kurt but he is also quite depressing. This was pretty dark and heavy to read. There were thoughts about life, death etc. and they felt realistic. And depressing. This went under my skin.

The story was good but maybe a bit too long. The last part of the book was really thrilling but otherwise pretty slow.

Under the Storm: A Novel | Christoffer Carlsson

pick

Wow, this is a what you call #NordicNoir! A fire and a murder in a small Swedish village continue to have effect on the village for years to come. A former police officer can‘t let go and neither does the nephew of the man convicted for the crimes.

In the mean time the book sketches a pretty good picture of the political and social circumstances of the country during the 90s and the 00s. ⬇️

BarbaraBB Also, I learned about the cycloon Gudrun, that hit Sweden in 2005 and took down more than 75 million cubic metres of trees with many implications for the national economy. Recommended! (edited) 3w

monalyisha I‘m actually considering trying this! I normally wouldn‘t be drawn to it but I‘ve been trying to find books for my stepdad, who recently started reading (in preparation for his retirement). He‘s a homicide detective with a history as an arson detective. He doesn‘t have a literary bent but I‘m wondering if this is one we *both* might be able to read? Worth “investigating,” anyway! 😉 3w

BarbaraBB @monalyisha I loved it but it‘s not your traditional thriller in the sense that it is real Swedish and rather quiet. I loved that. Not much violence either. But definitely worth investigating 🕵️‍♂️ 3w

Cathythoughts Great review. There‘s feeling and depth and intrigue and thriller … my absolute favourite kind of book. X 3w

GatheringBooks Ooh! Stacked! 3w

CarolynM Sounds great. Stacked. 🙂 2w

Beartown: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

bailed

50 pages about who in town likes hockey and how much. I'm not digging it (spoiler alert: the girl doesn't like hockey 🙄)

wildwoodreads Hahaha that sounds riveting. I think I‘ll skip this one. (edited) 4w

TieDyeDude @wildwoodreads It's gotten really good reviews, and I understand that he's setting up to show the misogyny and lengths the town will go to protect its hockey team, but I'm just not feeling it right now. 😜 4w

youneverarrived I know a lot of people love this but it wasn‘t for me 🫤 4w

Prairiegirl_reading @TieDyeDude I almost dnf‘d this too. After page 100 it‘s sooo good. Way too much set up, and if you are from a hockey town (like I am) all of this is just 😞. BUT if you are some day feeling it, it does get better. But you have to want to get to the hundred page mark. 4w

staci.reads It's definitely a slow start, but I ended up loving it. Sometimes it's just the wrong time. 4w

TheLudicReader Everyone loves this book/series, but I really did not like it and only kept going because it was a book club pick. You might be in the minority with your opinion, but you are definitely not alone. 4w

Tonight You're Dead | Viveca Sten

Number 4 in the Sandhamn Murders series. There's only a bit part for the island in this one, with the neighbouring island of Korso playing a bigger part. An intriguing mystery and some happy developments in Norah and Thomas's lives.

Simon's Family | Marianne Fredriksson

pan

Simon‘s Family had the ingredients I usually love—family saga, multiple POVs—but the jumps in time and murky relationships left me more confused than compelled. Many readers adore its sparse style, but I just couldn‘t connect. A miss for me. ⭐️💫 1.5/5 ❤️📚
