Harry Potter

Jag vill meddela att jag har lyssnat på Harry Potter-böckerna igen. Bara så jag vet!

A Game of Thrones

Jag har försökt hitta en kort sammanfattning om vad boken handlar om, men det tycks endast finnas väldigt långa sammanfattningar.
Boken handlar om Westeros på någon slags medeltid. Man får följa en massa olika personer och deras öden. Som namnet kanske antyder tillhör de de noblare kretsarna.
Jag gillade särskilt slutet, men vad det handlade om kan jag ju inte skriva här.

When God Was a Rabbit

Spanning four decades, from 1968 onwards, this is the story of a fabulous but flawed family and the slew of ordinary and extraordinary incidents that shape their everyday lives. It is a story about childhood and growing up, loss of innocence, eccentricity, familial ties and friendships, love and life. Stripped down to its bare bones, it's about the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister. The book is named after God, a pet rabbit given to Elly by her brother who is a constant companion during her childhood.

The Distant Hours

It starts with a letter, lost for half a century and unexpectedly delivered to Edie’s mother on a Sunday afternoon. The letter leads Edie to Milderhurst Castle, where the eccentric Blythe spinsters live and where, she discovers, her mother was billeted during World War II. The elder Blythe sisters are twins and have spent most of their lives caring for their younger sister, Juniper, who hasn’t been the same since her fiancé jilted her in 1941. Inside the decaying castle, Edie searches for her mother’s past but soon learns there are other secrets hidden in its walls. The truth of what happened in “the distant hours” has been waiting a long time for someone to find it.

Den var väldigt trög i starten. Det tog väl 150 sidor innan jag kom in i boken, men sen var den väldigt bra och spännande.
