My first ever book in German - my third language - and I've got to say I'm very positively surprised at how fun it was to read this! Thing is, I started learning German about 20 years ago. You see, in Norway you get to pick a third language when you start middle school (junior... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Conviction by Michael Cordell
I bloody did it again! Okay, so first of all - this is a fantastic book and an absolute must-read if you like legal thrillers. But also, I somehow managed to read these books out of order. Not that it matters - but first time around, I somehow started with book 3 in the series,... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Silence of The Lambs by Thomas Harris
It's not for nothing that this book holds the title for the best thriller ever! I recently picked up Red Dragon, the first book I've ever read by Thomas Harris - after years of being a Hannibal fan solely through film and TV - and I loved it.

Book Review: Trail of Heroes by S. F. Claymore
An indie fantasy epic that keeps on giving!

I was immediately pulled in, and now, seven years later, it's been a blast to... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Confession by Michael Cordell
Haha! I messed up big time! Ok, so that's a weird way to start a book review, I know.

Book Review: The Silmarillion by John R. R. Tolkien
So, we meet again, Silmarillion - my nemesis of books. I've read The Silmarillion once before, sometime less than ten years ago. I was very excited to finally give it ago, having read both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit sometime before this. Unfortunately, I made one horrible mistake. I picked it up as...
