Book 4 Updated Oct 12Fourth book of the year was Kanske imorgon (Maybe tomorrow would be the translation from Swedish). The story follows the involuntary friendship of two women. This friendship ends up being vital for the two neighbours. Both of them are in grief but handles it very differently. One one them tries to ignore it while the other woman tries to make the most of life. This friendship changes everything for both of them. It was a beautiful story as such.

Book 6 Updated Oct 12Sixth book of the year was Bara idag (Only today would be the translation from Swedish). The book is a sequel to Kanske imorgon that I read previously. The story continues by following Eva and how she handles the sorrow of her firends death. She and her family goes to Mallorca in Spain for a holiday in the sun and Eva is determined to complete her friend's bucket list. I think this book is weaker than the previous one. There is a third book in the series and I will not continue with that directly, I need a break.

Book 7 Updated Oct 12Seventh book of the year was a re-read of City of My Dreams. It must be at least 25 years since I read it last.
Now it was the book chosen for the on-line book club I am a part of. It is a classic here in Sweden. The book takes place between 1860-1880 and follows the poor. By following Henning as he comes walking into Stockholm from the countryside only owning what he is wearing. How he manages himself by finding job, friends and eventually meeting Lotten who he marries. It really describes the poverty, powerlessness and the dirt of the poor. I will continue the re-read of this series. So interesting to read now as older and also living in the Stockholm area as it is also a historical document of Stockholm becoming a city.

Book 88th book of the year was Skating to Antarctica which I read for ATY prompt # 4
A book that fits your favorite prompt that did not make the list. I choose the rejected prompt A book with a theme of exploration. The book is about a trip the author made to Antartica but it is also so much more. It is also about the childhood of the author growing up with two instable parents and also about a inner travel made by the author trying to understand herself.

Book 1010th book of the year was Inställd resa till Sabarmati, a quick translation of the Swedish title would be Cancelled trip to Sabarmati.
It is a character driven plot about some people in a small town in Sweden but it is also a book about identity and rasism, It is about a mother that is not a mother and a daughter that is not a daugther.
It is about Lykke and Fatima, Lykke is a rather sharp high school teacher in Nässjö, Fatima a foundling from India who has once again been abandoned, now by the adoptive parents. When Fatima turns 18 she leaves Nässjö without telling a word and left is Lykke with lots of questions.

Book 12 Updated Oct 1212th book of the year was Fula tjejer, a quick translation of the Swedish title would be Ugly girls.
This is a young adult book and takes place in high school. An anonymous account is started on Instagram called Ugly girls and it publishes photos of some of the girls in the high school like a list of the "ugliest girls" in school. Three girls, of which 2 got published on the account, decides to figure out who is behind the account. I think the book is showing the world of the teens of today and the consequences of social media around us.

Book 1616th book of the year was Weep Not, Child. It is a book about a Kenyan family during the end of the colonial times in Kenya. The story is told from the eyes of the boy Njoroge. The family has been divided by the open conflict between the natives and the colonizers. Njoroge's dream is to go to school, a missionary school which is controversial due to the liberation from the colonizers. A short book that still brings you family feuds, love, violence and injustices.

Book 1717th book of the year was The Housekeeper and the Professor. It was a very cute book about a friendship between a housekeeper and the Professor where she is working. After a car accident earlier in life the Professor only remembers 80 minutes at the time (unless it is before 1975) so their friendship starts over every day. The professor is very fond of the housekeeper's son that also spends his afternoon at the Professor's house. The book is about friendship, mathematics and baseball and I very much liked it.

The book continues to follow the same family as in book 1 but mostly from the daughter's point of viewe. It is very interesting to read about a Stockholm from another century and see it growing towards the city it is today. Eventhough it is a reread I will continue to read the series.

Book 2121th book of the year was book club book for May, Ru. The language in the book was beautiful and there was a flow in the text even in this Swedish edition that I read. I could only imagine how it is in the original text in French. It is a novel that is biographical and about the author and her family as they left Vietnam as boat refugees. I realize that I would like to read more about the history of Vietnam.

When their mother dies in prison, Lex has to start dealing with the past.

The book is a fast paced thriller in a series I enjoy reading and following the characters.

Book 26 Updated Oct 1226th book of the year was Sista sommaren, translation of the Swedish title is The Last Summer. It is one of the best books I have read in the feelgood genre. It is a story about a friendship that evolves between Britta, a 86 year old lady that has "run away" to her summer house without the permission of her children that do not allow her to be there by herself and Adam, a 20 year old boy that has been kicked out by his mum and has nowhere to go. You get to follow the two two main characters Britta and Adam, whose thoughts you get to follow in every other chapter. It is a focus on friendship and not love story which I find is a bit unusual in this genre.

Goal for this year is to finish ATY. I am going to try to read in order.....we will see how it goes. This to stop me avoiding the prompts that I have harder for and not save them for the end.
Update october 11, I will not be able to finish ATY 2022 in the speed I am reading when reading in order. Therefore, I have been looking through all books I read during the year and added them to the ATY prompts that they fulfill in order for me to be able to complete the challenge
I will also try to read all books for my book club. These will have to fit in outside of ATY or if I am lucky to fit the prompt I am at.
I have an idea in my head that I will try to read around the world but I have not figured out how. I will think about that during the year and also see how ATY progresses.
My Goodreads goal this year is to read a total of 60 books.
I also have a goal of reducing my TBR this year. So I will track that here as well.
As of January 1, 2022 I have 420 books on my TBR. I reduced it by 29 books last year, see if I can beat that :-)
