Finished reading: Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) by Ed Catmull 📚
A great read! Full of inspiring thoughts on creative work and packed with fun Pixar trivia. Since Ed worked closely with Steve Jobs, there are also some fascinating stories about him — a more personal side than you usually hear.
Finished reading: Battle Scars by Jason Fox 📚
An honest, interesting, and at times deeply unsettling read. It paints a raw and personal picture of one of the many terrible aftereffects war can leave behind — and the road back to recovery.
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.
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.
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: 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: 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: 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: Ritual by Mo Hayder 📚
Brutal, like the other books in the series, but well written with a good and gripping story.
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 📚
Rreally 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 Treatment by Mo Hayder 📚
Liked the first one better. This one felt unnecessarily dragged out. Nonetheless, it is still a tense and horrifying story worth reading.

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: Birdman by Mo Hayder 📚
Wow, what a ride! This book was absolutely great stuff, genuinely guaranteed to give you some fantastic nightmares.

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: Documents Concerning Rubashov the Gambler by Carl-Johan Vallgren 📚
As always, I’m in awe of Vallgren’s writing. I love his books, and this one was no exception. He has a real gift for pulling you into another time and place — it’s like being dropped right into the middle of a different world.
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: Sonny Boy by Al Pacino 📚
A refreshing read, open and honest. A glimpse behind the scenes, giving a more personal look at Al Pacino.
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: Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey 📚
I loved it. It’s full of wild stories and surprisingly great advice on how to catch more of life’s greenlights. Honest, funny, and inspiring. Well worth the read.
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 and Me by Delphine De Vigan 📚
I loved it! It’s such a beautifully written book that manages to be sad, funny, and interesting in a perfect mix.
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.
