2020 - året det var så mye tid til å lese

 Og det er vel alt jeg har å si om året. I alle fall her. Men for meg betydde hjemmekontor og sosial distansering en aldri så liten renessanse for lesing. Ettersom jeg nå også skriver selv, blir det ekstra interessant å skrive en liten analyse av og det jeg har lest.  Jeg har lest 39 bøker til nå i år, og har nok ikke mulighet til å skrive om alle - men ettersom jeg elsker lister vil jeg kåre de 10 beste. De kommer nok til å komme i lest rekkefølge, men det er uten tvil 10 av de 39 jeg har lest som kan anbefales...  10. Harald Rosenløw Eeg: Gyldig fravær En undersøkende, filosofiskreligøs bok om hva folk gjør når katastrofer inntreffer skrevet for ungdom. Vi har fem sentrale karakterer, alle blir utsatt for krise med t-banestans og de handler og velger meget forskjellig.  Jeg lot meg fascinere av Ida, Sherpa og Anjo. Den er godt fortalt og har en helt fantastisk vepsemetafor. Eller - den har mange fantastiske metaforer og symbolikk det er gøy å tolke. 9. Nicolai Houm...

30 days og Torchwood - Day 30

Day 30: Why You Love Torchwood Ok - know I've been a little bit behind on this. All because I'm on holiday at the moment. Went to Cardiff yesterday, and it was wonderful. Reminded me so much of why I love Torchwood! Torchwood is a rehash of a very used concept. It's been done plenty of times in various ways. However Torchwood definitely has something unique about it, and feels like something new all the same. It's weird and funny and quirky. The characters don't always act how you expect them to act, and sometimes they do silly or stupid things as well. It's unpredictable and surprising much of the time. I love the hub and the creatures who live there. I really liked the idea of Captain Jack having his own series and I really like how the two first seasons turned out. They go through so many weird cases and fascinating aspects of life! I love the team, and I most definitely love the characters. There is also the mix between domestic and sci-fi that I li...

30 Days of Game of Thrones - day 15

Day 18 ~ What Stark would you be? I’d be Sansa. Not necessarily because she’s the best Stark, but I think her actions and reactions are most lilke what mine would be. Especially as she gets a bit older and a bit more cunning. Robb is just too bold and too harsh for my liking. (Actually I must confess that I never liked the character. Did cheer for him, though. He was a Stark after all, and Grey Wind was great!) Arya is very rebellious, and as I don't have a rebellious fiber in by body I definitely would not be her. Would have liked some of her survival-skills, though! Bran is incredibly gifted, but I would not want his gifts. He can be quite scary some times - even though he is just a boy. Don't think I'd like to spend eternity stuck by a tree beyond the wall either. We haven't really had the chance to know Rickon very well, either. Can't chose him without knowing more about him..
