Read in January

1) Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher
Read: 1 December 2008 - 10 January 2009
Pages: 598
Rating: 6

One of my all-time favourites. A feel-good book, perfect for snuggling up with a blanket on a cold winter day.

2) The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
Read: 11 - 27 January
Pages: 518
Rating: 4

Last book in the His Dark Materials trilogy (a name I'm still not sure I understand). Not as good as the second, but a satisfactory, if somewhat tragic, conclusion.

33) Julemysteriet av Jostein Gaarder
Lest: 1. - 24. desember
Sider: 322
Karakter: 4

Adventskalenderbok med ett kapittel for hver dag fra 1. til 24. desember. Joakim finner en gammel julekalender i en bortgjemt bokhandel. I hver luke er det en liten lapp med historien om Elisabeth som følger etter det lille bjellelammet som rømmer fra kjøpesentret fordi det ikke orker å høre på lyden av alle kassaapparatene. Elisabeth reiser gjennom Europa og Lilleasia, men også bakover i tid, til Betlehem og Jesu fødsel. En koselig fortelling som blander de viktigste elementene i juleevangeliet med en slik gåte Jostein Gaarder er en mester på. Denne utgaven har flotte, fargerike illustrasjoner av Stella West.

34) The Christmas Promise by Donna Van Liere
Read: 25 - 26 December
Pages: 206
Rating: 5

35) Glad Tidings by Debbie Macomber
Read: 26 - 30 December
Pages: 475
Rating: 3

Two books in one: There's Something About Christmas and Here Comes Trouble. They're both your average romantic holiday story, quickly read and quickly forgotten.

Read in November

31) The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
Read: 27 October - 22 November
Pages: 454

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A tragic, yet beautiful ghost story with mad people, ruined mansions, dark secrets and a very wilful cat.

32) Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich
Read: 22 November - 1 December
Pages: 326
Rating: 4

Read in August

24) Det tredje tegnet av Yrsa Sigurdardóttir
Lest: 29. juli - 3. august
Sider: 382
Karakter: 5

Islandsk debutkrim med svartekunst som hovedtema.

25) The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Read: 4 August - 14 August
Pages: 398
Rating: 5

I loved this book - like it says, it really has everything one could want in a story. The only reason I'm not giving it 6 is because I thought the ending was rather abrupt. I wasn't thrilled about the first chapter of the "sequel" Buttercup's Baby either, as I didn't think it added anything to the story. But the rest of the book was absolutely wonderful!

26) Seven Up by Janet Evanovich
Read: 14 August - 21 August
Pages: 337
Rating: 4

Another great Plum book, though I don't think it's the best of the first 7. I do love Stephanie and Grandma Mazur, but I'm afraid the whole Morelli/Ranger thing might take the story in the wrong direction (I'm afraid Stephanie will choose the wrong guy...).

27) Felicia forsvant av Jørn Lier Horst
Lest: 25. august - 31. august
Sider: 279
Karakter: 5

Første bok i serien om kriminalbetjent William Wisting. God krimbok med et persongalleri og politimiljø jeg tror på.
