Cynthia Shannon asked Katarina Bivald:

Can you tell us what you love about Stockholm (recommendations on where to go if you only have a weekend there...) and maybe some of your favorite Swedish authors?

Katarina Bivald I love the archipelago most. Central Stockholm is builed on a serie of small island. There's bridges and water everywhere. If you continue by boat you'll pass more of them: tens of thousands of small island, basically just stone and a few stubborn pine trees. In the autumn and spring, everything is grey: the water, the cliffs, last year's reed.

I have a lot of favorite Swedish authors, but a few of my favorites that have been translated to English are Simona Ahrnstedt (fabulous romance) and Fredrik Backman (sweet, charming, sad).
