Hilde Helseth The first book i'm reading this new year is 101 historiska misstag by Daniel Rydén by Daniel Rydén, 101 historical mistakes in English. This book is in Swedish, and since I live close to the Swedish border and have watched Swedish television practically all my life ( I am Norwegian), I have no problems reading in Swedish.

3 of the series of books I collect are in Swedish, Världens dramatiska historia - www.goodreads.com/series/309012-v-rld... - World history; Sveriges dramatiska historia - www.goodreads.com/series/286229-sveri... - Swedish history; and series of Biograpies. I have 24 of them that I have not read yet, and there'll be 3 more released in January and in March. I aim to read all this year.

Hilde Helseth Another book I'm reading now is Haunted Greenwich Village Bohemian Banshees, Spooky Sites, and Gonzo Ghost Walks by Tom Ogden by Tom Ogden, I started with Haunted Highways Spooky Stories, Strange Happenings, and Supernatural Sightings by Tom Ogden on Chrismas Day since I didn't want to read a Christmas book then, and I have 5 more of these by Tom Ogden. Also one of the last library books I borrowed was about True Crime and ghost stories (not added to the book base yet), these books fit the bill. I have also ordered 4 more at WoB, with 5 more wishlist.

Hilde Helseth Almost finished with 101 historiska misstag by Daniel Rydén by Daniel Rydén, have only 15 mistakes left, and then I'll start on 101 historiska hjältar by Ola Larsmo by Ola Larsmo and I'm sad to say that when I went thru the list of the 101 heroes I only recognized 11 of the names.
