I went and saw Bruce Springsteen last night in the new megadont Friends Arena. And he played the whole Darkness on the edge of Town record! Which was a nice treat 🙂 (The first night, he played Born to run, which makes me wonder which one he will play May 11th…) I am glad I […]
* If you write European set Epic fantasy, it is more likely that the food your heroes eat is flavored using herbs rather than spices, since spices were expensive, and had to be imported. * In Sweden, mushrooms were viewed to be cattle food, until the 20th century. Which meant that they did not […]
Well, I figured out why I couldn’t update my e-reader. The firmware update isn’t compatible with my e-reader. Which annoys me a bit, to put it mildly. My colon disease decided to flare up last week, which means my immune system is overly active right now. And because of that, I am running a […]

This is one of those dull and boring posts, that are more a reminder for me 🙂 To do: Operation Shelfpurge: Start sorting through books in bags, and decides which I want to keep ( I have a feeling it wont be many…) Enter them into the spreadsheet Upload them to Bokbörsen General: Go […]
Earlier this week ( or was it last week?) Laura Anne Gilman purged her shelves of non-fiction books on twitter. Yesterday, I realised that I need to do the same but with fiction. Let’s be honest: I live in a small apartment, I have a cupboard filled with books, and I have a lot […]
