I'm sure you have all heard about the tragedy that hit my peaceful little country over the weekend. I won't say too much about it because everything that can be said has already been said, and in much better ways that I can say it. I just want to extend my condolences to everyone who lost a loved one these past few days. My heart breaks for you. I will always remember the words of one of the survivors from Utøya: "If one man can show so much hatred, imagine how much love we can show together."
Show some love today. You will make the world a better place.
Yesterday was my birthday, and to celebrate a little I'm having a birthday giveaway here on the blog. It's open internationally, and you can win a book of your choice! Enter here until 31 July.
I had a nice, quiet birthday at home. Mum made me pancakes and Dad came home from a fishing trip with some coalfish, so I'm happy. The fish is delicious warm, but even better cold with potatoes, cucumber and sour cream. Yummy!
I don't have much to report in bookish news. I'm still reading The Devil Colony by James Rollins. I thought maybe it would be strange to read a thriller after last Friday's events, but I found reading fiction actually helped. I'll finish it this week, and then it's onto another review book, Hard Spell by Justin Gustainis. I hear it's good, so I'm looking forward to it.
A little different format for this meme today, but I hope you understand. Take care of each other out there.

Happy birthday! I love nice quiet ones :)
Hard Spell sounds interesting - I will have to keep my eyes open for it.
And *hugs* - your country has taken a hard blow and it hurts my heart to think of the act.
My husband's family is from your country. The violence there is very shocking. I am sad for you, but I will do as you ask and be kind to all I meet.
Here's my It's Monday! What Are You Reading?! And don't forget to enter my July giveaway!
Hugs! Glad you got your nice quiet birthday. Keep safe.
