Knife – Jo Nesbo

On May 6, 2020April 19, 2020 By bookskepticIn Reviews1 Comment

The Knife begins precisely where The Thirst finished. Well, maybe not precisely, we lose a night. Or rather Harry does. He wakes up with a horrible hangover, covered in blood. Cannot remember a thing. The next thing he realizes is that he lost everything.  He's never had a case like this. He doesn't know if he's …

The Thirst – Jo Nesbo

On April 29, 2020April 13, 2020 By bookskepticIn Reviews1 Comment

My Bigger Half bought me the two Harry Hole books I was missing for Christmas 2019. I devoured them before it was time to fly back to London after the break. They are not short books, but they are the definition of a page-turner. Harry Hole is finally happy. Who would have thought? Waking up …

Fourth quarter round-up

On January 7, 2020June 12, 2020 By bookskepticIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

I think it's still not too late to do a brief summary of the last quarter of 2019. I am still getting used to saying we're in 2020, so I'll allow myself this tiny decadence of being late to the party. The quarter started beautifully, with my first trip to Greece. I fell in love …

First quarter round-up

On April 3, 2019June 30, 2019 By bookskepticIn Thoughts1 Comment

As always time flies and as always I remain surprised at that. The first quarter of 2019 if certainly over, all the noble new year's resolutions went out the window a long time ago. Hmmm, not all I am still bravely exercising, but otherwise my strong will proved to be very weak yet again. I …

Macbeth – Jo Nesbo

On March 30, 2019March 17, 2019 By bookskepticIn Reviews3 Comments

It was one of the Christmas gifts from my in-laws. I am a big fan of Nesbo, but mostly sticking to Hary Hole series, so they decided to push me out of my comfort zone a bit. They pushed me out of it more than a bit, as not only is the book not about …

2018 summary

On December 29, 2018May 5, 2019 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

Christmas is over, lovely as the time was we're coming to the year's end, so it's time for some checks and balances. It was a year without book buying ban and I made full use of it, buying around 60 books, I tried to keep a tally, but got lost somewhere around book number 54, …

March round-up

On March 31, 2016September 2, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts6 Comments

I cannot believe it's almost April! Somehow it still feels like the beginning of the year, maybe because I didn't have many resolutions I could break as time passed. March has been full of travels for me, so I didn't have much as time for reading or blogging as I'd like. I love travelling so no …

Jo Nesbo x3

On February 6, 2016February 6, 2016 By bookskepticIn Reviews8 Comments

I have been a fan of Jo Nesbo for a while now. The beginnings were not easy, the first books of him I read in Polish and translation was dreadful, only when I moved to London I got my hands on English version of The Snowman. Back then I lived on the ground floor and …

January Round Up

On February 2, 2016April 26, 2016 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

This is my first round up, but, hey!, it's January, time for new things. Short and sweet - what have I read this month and in few words what do I think about it. Where you see a link it links to my review - no link - no review - for now at least, …
