First time taking part, hoping I do it right. Name: Kuule hain nussivan Personal Challenge: 52 (books) Booklord 2024? Sure! Here is my StoryGraph profile. I know it's private, but I would appreciate any friend requests since I like to know what other people are reading and stalk them for recommendations. Most of my stuff is in Finnish, so you might find some weird stuff that will get translated (like Elolliset by Iida Turpeinen which is eventually coming out in english as Beasts Of The Sea) too!

Right, about time I try and put up a list of stuff I've read. I think it at the moment I'm slightly ahead of my target schedule. I mainly read in finnish since I'm currently in-between ereaders and restricted by the local library selections, but I'll try and add an english title where one is available. Bolded stuff is especially good and recommended. 1. John Ajvide Lindqvist - Kuinka kuolleita käsitellään (Handling the Undead) - 2.5/5 2. Marko Hautala - Kuokkamummo (The Black Tongue) - 3/5 3. Antto Terras - Viro (Sensuroimaton) - 2/5 4. Samantha Harvey - The Western Wind - 3.5/5 5. Mauri Karvonen - Aavetaloja ja ihmiskohtaloita — Hyytävää historiaa Napapiiriltä Suomenlahdelle - 2/5 6. Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen - Kuurupiilon Anatomia (An Anatomy of Hide-and-Seek) - 3.5/5 7. Cormac McCarthy - Stella Maris - 2.5/5 8. Stanislaw Lem - Solaris - 3.75/5 9. Emmi Itäranta - Teemestarin Kirja (Memory Of Water) - 2.75/5 10. Iida Turpeinen - Elolliset (Beasts of the Sea) - 5/5 - Excellent, excellent book. Should be coming out in english sometime in 2025 11. Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen - Taivaalta Pudonnut Eläintarha - 2/5 12. Jim Cobb - The Urban Prepper's Guide: How to Become Self-Sufficient and Prepared for the Next Crisis - 3.5/5 13. Andrew Michael Hurley - Nälkänummi (Starve Acre) - 2.25/5 14. Thomas Engström & Margit Richert - Nattavaara - 3/5 15. Susanna Hast - Ruumis/Huoneet - 4/5 16. Ruth Ware - Lumimyrsky (One By One) - 4/5 17. Cristoph Ransmayr - Jään Ja Pimeyden Kauhut (The Terrors of Ice and Darkness) - 4/5 18. Numerous - Marple: Twelve New Mysteries - 2.25/5 19. Jennifer Egan - Aika Suuri Hämäys (A Visit From The Goon Squad) - 3/5 Wildcard suggestions welcome!

paradoxGentleman posted:I haven't read in any real capacity (unless you coung RPG manuals, which you really shouldn't) in years, especially after uni. I would love to get back into it again. I'm new to this, but I don't see why it should be. Reading is reading, it does the mind good.

Time to update my list. Last post was March 17. Pace has been pretty steady since then, though in the last few weeks I've hit a bit of a bad patch with not finishing books and having to keep a number going at the same time. Looks like I'm over the worst of it now. 20. Marko Hautala - Kaikki Mitä Tahdot - 3.75/5 21. Jussi Hyvärinen - Olduvain Rotko - 4/5 (Booklord book of poetry) 22. China Mieville - Toiset (The City And The City) - 3.75/5 23. Tuomas Niskakangas - Roihu - 2.75/5 24. Yukito Ayatsuji - The Decagon House Murders - 3.5/5 25. Kati Routa - Vihanpitäjät - 2.5/5 26. Thomas Engström & Margit Richert - Armasjärvi - 2.75/5 27. Mia Couto - Plumeriaveranta (Under The Frangipani) - 3/5 28. Aapo Kukko - Puhumalla Paras - 3.5/5 (Booklord graphical novel) 29. Riitta Salke - Silverstar: Unelmien Siipiväli - 2.25/5 Still looking for wildcard suggestions! At least I don't think I've received any!
