This week’s topic is a Thankful. Which books were you so glad you read, even if they weren’t the top books you read this year, but you’re super glad you read them. Or any other reason that you’re thankful for books this year!!

I am thankful for many different kind of books. I am definitely thankful, that there are so many different books from so many different countries and times. Therefore, I have chosen books from five different countries that I read this year, new and old, written by authors from India, Norway, Turkey,  the UK, the US.

Brontë, Charlotte "The Professor" - 1857
Probably one of my favourite novels by Charlotte Brontë, the reason could be that it takes place in Brussels.

Fosse, Jon "Morning and Evening" (NO: Morgon og kveld) - 2001
Last year's Nobel Prize winner. A fascinating story about the life and death of a man. 

Kingsolver, Barbara "Demon Copperhead" - 2022
David Copperfield in a modern version, written by one of the greatest contemporary writers.

Şafak, Elif "10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World" - 2019
Elif Şafak never disappoints. We follow her protagonist Leila from the minute of her birth until several minutes after her death and then her friends. 

Verghese, Abraham "The Covenant of Water" - 2023
A wonderful story about a family in India over the length of most of a century.
