Sara Blædel is the number one Danish bestseller and author of the Detective Louise Rick crime series.
The Louise Rick series is one of the very best I've ever read, and there's no need to chronological reading, if you're not feeling to.




#1 Call Me Princess
#2 Only One Life
#3 The Forgotten Girls * also featured in Book Suggestion: January
#4 The Killing Forest

Happy reading... and feel free to share your thoughts :)

Hello Readers,
raise your hand if you like series...



Well, I do :)
Books that come in a series are superb for many reasons. One of the reasons is that once you read the first book in the series and like it, there are instantly more to read!
Another reason is that characters and plots develop in a complex way, which help capture your attention and make you want to read more.

I'm more of a Chronological Reader but, depending on the series, I don't mind jumping around.
Go find out what kind of reader are you following this link: http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainm...

Anyway, me being in love with series is the reason why I created the "Series Section", where you'll find new/ old good books you can start reading.
Let me know your ideas and share with us what kind of reader you are!
Happy reading everyone!

Hello Readers,
I have an amazing book suggestion for January 2016: Dorothy Must Die, by Danielle Paige



Surprisingly good!
Happy reading!

Hello Readers,
for the Literature & Fiction section I'd like to suggest: The Hourglass Factory, by Lucy Ribchester



Set in London 1912, when the suffragette movement is reaching fever pitch.
A beautiful debut novel soon to be a major film, "Suffragette", starring Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham-Carter and Carey Mulligan.

Hello Readers,
the History Book Suggestion for the month of January, 2016 is: The Only Living Man With A Hole In His Head, by Todd Colby Pliss



Based on a true story this book is fascinating!
Happy reading.

Hello Readers,
the YA Book Suggestion for the month of January, 2016 is: I'll Give You the Sun , Jandy Nelson



Highly recommended!! Happy reading! :)

Hello Readers,
the book I'd like to suggest for the month of January might be of interest to fans of Downton Abbey: Rose: My Life in Service to Lady Astor, by Rosina Harrison.



This book is a renewal of Rosina Harrison's 1976 memoir about Rose's longtime employer, Nancy, Lady Astor, an American heiress who married into the British aristocracy.
Rose, who served as Lady Astor's personal maid for 35 years, was a Yorkshire girl, born in a village near the town of Ripon.
While much is left unsaid, Rose gives plenty of fascinating details of the daily working life of a lady's maid in pre-war, wartime, and postwar Britain.

Happy reading!

I do remember those books :) The Sleepy Bunny was my first book :)

Thank you Lisa, we're happy to have you! Welcome :)

Hello Readers,

I have a confession to make: I read children's books.
I'm not ashamed saying that some days I love to get lost in those magical worlds and I come back to reality only when my faith into humanity gets restored :)

I was born in the early 80s and I was lucky enough to have access to some of the most amazing children's books ever.
Let's face it, modern children's stuff is awful.. writers and publishers sometimes overestimate and, even more often, underestimate young readers capacities; they fob them off with really “crappy” material… pardon my french :P

Anyway, the books I’m gonna share with you are the same I’ve read as a child.
These are classics.. Real ones you’ll never forget even in your 20s or 40s.
In 20 years nobody will remember that “wimpy kid”, right? but I’m pretty sure everyone knows about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or White Fang].

Having said that, you can find those gems right on our bookshelf.
Feel free to share some magic and let us know what’s your favourite book from childhood
Happy reading everyone!
