Finished reading: Studie i mänskligt beteende by Lena Andersson 📚
I really like her books! She has a fantastic ability to capture people’s quirks in a way that’s both hilarious and touching.
Books
Finished reading: The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution by Walter Isaacson 📚
Very interesting read! From the invention of the computer to the birth of blogs. Fascinating stories and fun facts, like how the terms bug and debugging came to be.
Finished reading: Crucifix Killer by Chris Carter 📚
A new favorite of mine in the crime/thriller genre, and I’m not just saying that because the main character is named Robert. 😊
Finished reading: Från Noice till nu by Peo Thyrén 📚
This book is a nostalgic trip back in time, but only if you’re from Sweden and old enough to remember the band Noice (yes, that’s how they spell it) at their peak during the late ’70s and early ‘80s.
For those of us who grew up with their music, it’s a fascinating read about a band that became a national sensation almost overnight. But it’s also a heartbreaking story, as half the original members tragically died young due to drug abuse. A bittersweet reminder of how bright and brutal fame can be.
Finished reading: Thorsten Flinck : En självbiografi by Thorsten Flinck 📚
What a ride! Great book, both inspiring and incredibly tragic at the same time. Definitely worth picking up, especially if you’ve also read Mikael Persbrandt’s book – they make for a really interesting pair to read together.
Finished reading: Be Useful by Arnold Schwarzenegger 📚
An inspiring read. Also some fun trivia, like Danny DeVito filling Arnold’s cigar with weed on the set of Twins. The book even made me reflect on my own blogging in a way.
Finished reading: The Empty Chair by Jeffery Deaver 📚
It was good, but not quite as strong as the previous books in the series. Still had solid suspense and some nice twists, but it didn’t grab me quite the same way.
Finished reading: Tio tankar för själens hunger by Antje Jackelen 📚
Not my cup of tea, but it’s a good book that will definitely appeal to a lot of people more than it did to me. One interesting thing I picked up was that René “I think, therefore I am” Descartes died in Stockholm. News to me!
Finished reading: Wolf by Mo Hayder 📚
A good book with a thrilling, unpredictable ending, but the middle dragged and lacked engagement. Worth reading, though not my favorite in the series.
Finished reading: I May Be Wrong by Björn Natthiko Lindeblad 📚
A truly wonderful read, filled with profound and insightful wisdom. It’s one of those special books you can pick up and read again and again, always finding something new to reflect on.
Finished reading: The Coffin Dancer by Jeffery Deaver 📚
An outstanding thriller-even better than the last Lincoln Rhyme book I loved. Deaver cranks up the suspense with unpredictable twists, tight pacing, and a chilling villain in the Coffin Dancer. Gripping from start to finish.
Finished reading: Mikael Persbrandt by Mikael Persbrandt 📚
What a wild ride! A great example of when reality surpasses fiction. It’s a story more unbelievable than any role he’s ever played. Definitely a must-read … at least if you’re from Sweden.
Finished reading: Markoolio – mörkret och den rosa bubblan by Marko Lehtosalo 📚
I liked it. It was both funny and sad-full of honesty and openness. Felt very real and human all the way through. Definitely worth a read-if you’re Swedish.
Finished reading: The Bone Collector by Jeffery Deaver 📚
A top-notch crime thriller-gripping, smart, and suspenseful. The forensic detail is compelling, and the twists kept me hooked. Can’t wait to read the next in the series!
Finished reading: A Life on Our Planet by David Attenborough 📚
A powerful and sobering read. The shrinking percentages of wild spaces hit hardest, painting a stark picture of humanity’s impact.
Finished reading: Din tid kommer by Carl-Johan Vallgren 📚
Definitely worth reading! I love Vallgren’s books. I think he has an incredible ability to take on different genres, eras, and subjects, and write about them in a format that perfectly suits the spirit of the time and the story.
Finished reading: Poppet by Mo Hayder 📚
A decent read, but the weakest in the series so far. It felt scattered, trying to juggle too much-especially wrapping up the last book. Still enjoyable, but I’m hoping the next one is more focused.
Finished reading: Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane 📚
Just read the book for the first time, and it was at least as good as l had hoped. I feel like watching the movie again now when I have the book fresh in my mind.
Finished reading: Gone by Mo Hayder 📚
Easily the best Jack Caffery book yet! Non-stop excitement. If you’re into thrillers or love Mo Hayder, don’t miss this one!
Finished reading: Skin by Mo Hayder 📚
Another chilling, gripping ride with Jack Caffrey. If you’re a fan of the series, this one won’t disappoint. Dark, twisted, and totally engrossing.
Finished reading: En bra man by Tina Trender 📚
Thought about putting it down more than once. But somewhere around the middle it turned around, and from there it just kept getting more and more intense as the main character got into worse and worse situations.
Finished reading: Sömngångaren by Lars Kepler 📚
Really exciting all the way through, and definitely the best one in the series about Jonna Linna so far. Couldn’t put it down.

Finished reading: The Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal Lecter, #2) by Thomas Harris 📚
Finally read it after a million viewings of the movie-it totally holds up. Just as creepy and gripping. Some iconic scenes were missing (no tense door-knocking!), but the book adds its own great details.
Finished reading: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky 📚
I love the movie! Seen it a bunch of times. Finally got around to reading the book, and wow! I loved it just as much, or even more. So good!
Finished reading: Jävla karlar by Andrev Walden 📚
I absolutely loved it! It’s a fantastic mix of both fun and sadness. Andrev Walden has a brilliant sense of capturing odd and spot-on likenesses.
Finished reading: Jag lever, pappa by Siri Marie Seim Sønstelie 📚
I found myself wishing it was fiction— something imagined. But sadly, it’s not. It really happened, and that makes it all the more heartbreaking. A tough but important reading.
Finished reading: The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave 📚
Kept me interested, but didn’t blow me away. I wanted more depth or suspense. Fans of family secrets and complex relationships might enjoy it more.
Finished reading: No Time Like the Future by Michael J. Fox 📚
Inspiring and beautifully written. Michael J. Fox manages to be both funny and vulnerable, which makes the whole thing super relatable. If you’re looking for something that will leave you feeling hopeful, definitely check this one out.
Finished reading: Will by Will Smith 📚
Not quite my cup of tea. While it’s undoubtedly a fascinating look into the life of a Hollywood icon, I couldn’t shake the feeling of it being a bit too self-absorbed.
Finished reading: Sonny Boy by Al Pacino 📚
A refreshing read, feeling open and honest. It offers an intriguing glimpse behind the scenes, giving us a more personal look at Al Pacino.
