Flere bøker jeg skal lese iår

Her er bøkene jeg leser for årets leseutfordring hos Sarpsborg bibliotek.

Det første jeg gjorde etter at jeg hentet boka på biblioteket, var å sjekke gata jeg vokste opp i - Balchens gate. Begge foreldrene mine trodde at gata var oppkallt etter flygeren Bert Balchen, men her fikk jeg vite at den var oppkallt etter en prest på slutten av 1800-tallet, som t.o.m. satt to perioder på Stortinget!

Trenger klart en ny liste i år. Er nesten ferdig med bok #72 på liste 2, som er full (100 bøker) og skal hente 6 bøker på biblioteket denne uka.

Flere leste bøker 2023.

Trengte ikke noen liste 3 for 2022, dette blir i steden liste 1 for 2023

Bøkene jeg leser for Sommerbingo 2022.

Kjøpte denne boka på AdLibris, Farväl, DDR : terror, övervakning och vardagsliv i Östtyskland 1945-1989 av Guido Knopp.

Har kommet så langt at jeg trenger en ny liste.

Jeg kjenner igjen flere av titlene og faren min har lest en god del av dem.
Selv har jeg kun lest de 3 av Tove Jansson (på svensk) og Karen Blixtens Mitt Afrika som jeg leste etter å ha sett filmen.
