Surely falling in love is a wonderful thing? Imagine being able to experience that feeling over and over again, even though you are married and have three children. That's why I write romance.

That it was in the romance genre I ended up is not so strange since I love reading about happy endings. Everything from mother's Harlequin books, via Maria Lang and Maria Gripe, to Jane Austen, Rosamunde Pilcher and more contemporary Simona Ahrnstedt.

Since my family and I moved from Stockholm to Hälsingland, I feel that this is where I belong. In the forest, among the mountains and near the sea. Here I have everything I need to create my characters. No wonder I choose to place most of my stories into this wonderful county.

Hej september!

Ja, jag vet, det var ett tag sedan jag skrev ett inlägg. Sommaren liksom bara försvann någonstans bland bad, solsken och utflykter. Helt enligt planen. Jag har ärligt tagit lite sommarlov, men är nu redo för en nystart. Jag såg någonstans att det är många som kallar hösten "tjejnyår" och ja, jag känner lite som att hösten alltid är mer av en nystart än vad nyår är. Kommer nog från barndomens s Read more of this blog post »

Mannen är ett geni. En bok som fått mig att känna allt i mitt känsloregister. Backman har ett sätt med ord gom gör mig avundsjuk.

Lika söt som filmen, men trots reviderade upplagan kanske den kändes lite daterad, men jag tyckte ändå mycket om den.

Kan vara så att jag slukade den. Reimhagen har blivit en auto buy för mig (och inte bara för att jag gärna köper mina kollegors böcker, utan för att jag verkligen gillar hennes sätt att skriva). Spännande berättelse och fascinerande magiska inslag.
