Dee’s comments from the Nordic Noir group.

Yep he was back in march

it wasn't I swear!! lol!

it wasn't showing that date yesterday...lol!

I just saw and my library has it in...plus it looks like all her other books are now available in english

nice! I was so confused in the one I read...so looking forward to this one

is it one of her earlier ones Naomi? I read like book 8, but saw that her other ones were supposed to be released later on this year

i guess i'm going to throw up a nomination then, since everyone seems to be quiet...

Helene Tursten

As previously alluded to, we are going to change our Author of the Month to allow for some advanced planning. I know that I had previously mentioned that Sara Blaedel was going to be our October author, but when I was looking, I realized that she only had 2 books released in English currently (the third is due out in December), so she isn't eligible right now.

So nominations are open for the next three months. Please nominate who you would like to read, and once the voting is complete, the authors with the top 3 number of votes will be our upcoming authors.

As a reminder, must have at least 2 books published in English prior to the month that they are scheduled

Nominations will be open until the 24th, and then we will vote through the 29th.

Nominations
Helene Tursten
Anne Holt
Sara Blaedel
Maj Sjöwall

aside from Steig Larsson, your books were the first in the genre that I ever really read

ETA - yep, here it is - http://deesbookblog.com/2010/11/14/re...

I thin SA might have been one of the first books I reviewed on my blog as well

Jim could even be the example for why this group exists...

If I hadn't picked up snow angels at the library and loved it, I wouldn't have been stalking reviews for LT's
If I hadn't been stalking reviews I never would have met Naomi over another review that was spoiler ish
If i'd never met naomi my love of NN might have floundered and this group never would have started...

So it's all because of Jim...

Oh the battle that surely occurred with Naomi not having her kindle

Start with snow Angels because it is the first in the series and not only yes but hell yes!!

I just saw the second one being advertised on the audiobook site I get review copies from

sweet - so even though its in the series I can read it and not miss too much? thanks Ken

guess what i'm listening to next then...lol!

ok, need to listen to The Stonecutter - anyone out there - do I need to listen/read to the 2 previous? i'm behind on reviews and need to get this one done...

@Quentin - here is my review - http://deesbookblog.com/2012/08/28/re...- i tend to keep them spoiler free and touch more on my general thoughts about the book vice specific plot elements

i'm sure they could...i don't remember what narrator it was that mentioned it - maybe Xe Sands who does some of the romances that use romanian...

it's always interesting seeing the different names of books and I wonder why

like The Keeper of Lost Causes was published as Mercy in the UK

i was reading an article about Soho the other day and the YA mystery line they are supposedly launching soon
