Sandra’s comments from the A challenge of relative ease and merriment 2017 group.

Just saw that Veronica Roth, the author of the Divergent-series, is promoting a new book in Sweden and her picture made me google her age. She is 28, so all of her books so far fall under this category.

Since I read a lot of books that's translated into Swedish, I have a question about publishing year.

I just got the hands on Nötskal by Ian McEwan, witch was published as Nutshell in 2016, but the Swedish edition was published in 2017. Can I count the book as a 2017 book? or do I have to get another for that category?

Hi all! My name is Sandra and I live in Sweden, in a small village called Hovmantorp, with my family, consisting of three children and a "sambo". I work in a nearby city as a teacher for children in special needs, age 13-16.

Reading is part of my lifestyle, but the more stressed I get, the less time I spend on reading (and working out). I am a slow reader, so I tend to start more books than I finish. I don´t see the point in putting all that time in something I don´t enjoy.

As a teatcher, I read a lot of YA-books, but I do like to read most of everything. I am at the moment "done" with new Swedish crime-novels, but have found my peace in Agatha Christie and Maria Lang.

Is it ok to read more than one YA-book? Or is all the other categories adult novels?

This is all new to me, so if I am doing this all wrong, feel free to correct me, and I´ll try to do better :) And writing in English, will be a new challenge! I´m really looking forward to this challenge!
