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 mĂ€nskligt 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: The Innovators 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: FrĂ„n Noice till nu by Peo ThyrĂ©n 📚

A nostalgic read for anyone who remembers Noice at their late ’70s and early ’80s peak. Fascinating, yet heartbreaking, as half the band’s original members died young. A bittersweet tale of fame’s glow and cost.

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 sjĂ€lens 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 RenĂ© “I think, therefore I am” Descartes died in Stockholm. News to me!
