The Wolf and the Watchman | Niklas Natt och Dag

This historical mystery set in 1793 Sweden was utterly gripping, though very disturbing as well. I'd definitely recommend it if you can stomach graphic violence.

The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules | Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg

Morning snuggles and reading.

The cover and title made me pick this up used somewhere, and it‘s been on my shelf for some time.

It‘s a low pick, but I found it fun and silly. How often do you get to read a heist book with 5 retirees as the criminals? It looks like there are a few more in the series. While I won‘t rush out to get them, I‘d read more if I found them in a LFL or at a library sale.

BkClubCare Oh good - I need a heist book for a challenge. 3d

People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was colour. All the colour he had.

Overall I enjoyed this, but there was a lot going on and a lot of POVs that at times I got a little tripped up. Interested to see where the series goes.

Today it‘s 80 years since Pippi Longstocking was first published.

Here‘s to the world‘s strongest girl 🎉🎉🎉

I grew up watching the Swedish TV series from the 60s and read the first book just a few years ago

5🌟/5🌟

I am loving this series so much! I think I liked this one better than the first one, which I didn't think possible. Can't wait for the final book!

Beartown: A Novel | Fredrik Backman
post image

I usually do not read books in a series, but being that there is a hockey team theme involved in these, I was immediately intrigued!!

Already had Beartown from my parents and today kicked off a new week on a high note completing the set with the second and third book!!

If I read these and the Empyrean series before the end of the year, I will have completed my first two series of books ever at almost 35 years old!!

mcctrish Two fantastic series to begin your journey with 4w

uncommonlycozies I adore Jonas Karlsson & have recently been LOVING informative text! Being a Swedish author & all- were the historical elements enough to spark any interest for you? 4w
Blueberry @uncommonlycozies it reminded me of the Forrest Gump film when he meets all these true persons from history. 4w
