So far we have 23 participants, and the list grows daily. This is a hearty bunch who is ready to explore new works and new authors. Remember, you must be a follower to participate in the giveaway and prizes at the end of the Reading Challenge. Please email me your titles as you read them, so I have more titles to recommend and we can all keep track. To assist in this, I've added a few websites where you can locate information on Scandinavian titles:
- Eurocrime.co.uk has a section on Scandinavian crime
- Scandinavianbooks.com has author info and suggested titles
- Archipelagobooks.org has a number of translated titles
- http://homepages.gac.edu/~fister/scandcrime/ Scandinavian crime fiction lists of authors
- Your Presence is Requested at Suvanto, by Maile Chapman (Finland)
- The Twin, by Gerbrand Bakker (Dutch)
- Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson (Norwegian)
- Voices: A Reykjavik Thriller by Arnaldur Indridason (a Reykjavik series)
- Peter Hoeg and Jo Nesbo have new titles
- Growth of the Soil, my most favorite Knut Hamsun epic story
i'm still in, i promise i'll get your button up on my blog soon!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound tempting to join this challenge but I have no idea about any Scandinavian authors or books and I have signed up for too many challenges already and don't want to fail at yet another one. Maybe when I do compile a list of Scandinavian reads then I'll join :)
ReplyDeleteI have emailed you my link to my challenge post with my goal (6) and list of recommended reading. I have completed Benny and Shrimp so far. Thank you.
