My first Jack Reacher book - and my new favorite action hero! I'm not sure how I never read a Lee Child book before, but it was about damn time, because Jack Reacher is right up my alley! If you've been living under a rock like me, Jack Reacher is an ex-military loner who has... Continue Reading →

Book Review: The Boy In The Cellar by Stephen Smith
The most terrifying book you'll ever read - and it's all true! I love thrillers. Thrillers, horror, mysteries, crime and action, whatever it is, I love reading and watching things that can make my heart beat faster. So when I first discovered the true crime genre at some point in my early teens, I was... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Murder On The Orient Express by Agatha Christie
The very definition of a murder mystery! I'm sure if you looked up mystery in the dictionary, you'd find Agatha Christie there, if not this exact novel as an example. I grew up watching David Suchet's version of Poirot and though I don't even remember which ones I've seen, I remember loving them. It was... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The City and the Stars by Arthur C. Clarke
One of the fathers of modern science fiction - and a definite must-read! When I started this I was worried I would find it much the same way I found Dune - boring and overlong - but this was the complete opposite. Every part of this novel made me want to keep on reading, keep... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Avatar of Death by S.F. Claymore
Monstrous demons clash against dark and devastating magic in this fantasy novel full of adventure, thrills and betrayal.

Book Review: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never, ever, read this book. Here's a fun fact: we don't have required reading in Norway (at least we didn't in the 90's where I grew up). That's not to say I didn't have to read things, I just didn't have to read loads of old books from some arbitrary, outdated list. But I'm trying... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Storm of War by Bryan R. Saye
As an archaeologist I'm always fascinated by books and authors who dare play with history. Whether it is in fantastical worlds that only draw inspirations from our own, like Tolkien; historical mysteries and conspiracies like those woven by Dan Brown; or those incredible tales set in a more accurate past like Conn Iggulden. No matter... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
I've got a new favorite type of science fiction, and it's whatever Andy Weir writes! I never read the Martian. I never read a lot of things, but I never read the Martian either. I saw the movie though, and I liked it enough to remember Andy Weir's name when I saw Project Hail Mary... Continue Reading →
