Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
A gruesomely terrifying piece of horror - and I loved every bit of it! I picked this up on a whim and boy am I glad I trust my whims - this book is absolutely terrifying straight out of the gate. The premise is simple: four old families are cursed forever by a dead witch,... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 That's not to say I didn't have to read things, I just didn't have to read loads of old books from some arbitrary, outdated list.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 →
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 →
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 →
One of the best things about being an indie author is becoming a part of an indie author community. Not only do you meet like-minded souls, make friends for life, and learn to develop your craft and art, but occasionally you come across gems that other members of that community produce. This is one of... Continue Reading →
It's suddenly over and now I don't know what to do with myself. Josiah Bancroft's Books Of Babel series is fantastic. If you could only read one more series of books before the world ended and you're into fantasy steampunk, then I'd give you this. It's the kind of book series that will be remembered...

What a great start to the new year! I set out to read this at the start of the pandemic, some time in spring, 2019. It was a weird mix of wanting to read a book about the world ending due to a super-flu (wonder where I got that idea), finding the book on offer... Continue Reading →
