Feel free to join in this weekly event if you'd like as well as use the photo/pic/button above. The Mr. Linky widget box will be set up to link your blog post.

I haven't completed any fiction in a long time, except for a Swedish thriller, which has not been translated to English as far as I know and thus not reviewed here, but on my Danish version of this blog.
I am reading two books right now, and they are A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole and Heaven's Prisoners by James Lee Burke. Incidentially they are both books which can be used in the newest challenge I am participating in: Southern Reading Challenge, hosted by Maggie. I hope to finish them both this week, but I also have my thesis to deliver in a week, plus a wedding for which I have to go out of town, so not sure there will be much time for reading. I will try though.

I need to read A Confederacy of Dunces soon! Happy reading!
Thanks Amanda. I like it so far, although it is written in a style I am not really that familiar with :o)
Glad you mentioned your thesis. When I saw your post, I thought that maybe you were done. So next week you'll be free?
Yeah!!! I deliver the thing Tuesday June 2. at 12 noon. Then I am free (but on the other hand back to working full time, oh well, I guess you cannot have it all ;o)
This is just my opinion, but working is easier...lol!
Thanks for coming by my blog this morning. Your comment about Decoration day and all the Danish holidays was very interesting. I had to come and 'visit' you. I like your blog and now I'm curious about your thesis and what you are reading. It's nice to make a new friend.
Good luck with the Southern Reading Challenge. Maggie makes it fun every year. Happy reading.
@J-Kaye - re. work, I guess you are probably right. I wouldn't want to write another thesis right away, that is for sure ;-)
@Margot, I've had your blog on my blog roll for a while, but haven't commented that much. I am finishing an MA-degree in Egyptology with this thesis (which I hopefully will pass!) after having been out of university for some years.
@Vasilly, thanks a lot. I look forward to read some good, Southern lit!
I haven´t read any of those. I am still reading Camilleri - lots of food and fun.
The Burke looks good!
How nice to encounter other Scandinavian book bloggers :D
Just came across your blog through J.Kaye's blog. Good luck with the southern challenge & getting your thesis in!
Here's my post
All new to me books those :)
Trevligt att träffa en dansk här
Thanks Blodeuedd - you should also say hello to Dorte H, another Danish book-blogger bloggin' in English ;o)
You've got a busy time coming up.
Happy reading, though :)
Thanks Maree :-)
Shall check her out and say hello :D
You are a busy girl! Best wishes for your thesis--not sure I could even worry about recreational reading if I was in the middle of that event!
Have a great week...
*smiles*
