Wow. I am pretty impressed that you are writing in English and reading books published in English. You are Swedish, yes? I would love to read more books set in Sweden as my dad's mother came from Sweden. Is Blackwater published in English? I should look for it.
SvaraRaderayes, I´m Swedish. Blackwater is published in English. I chose books published in English for my list. I´ll think about some novels set in Sweden published in English an give you some suggestions. thank you for stopping by!

SvaraRaderaGreat list! You're really spanning the globe here! For blog-related reasons, my own Top 10 for the week is all books from a single other country (the Philippines); but now you're making me wonder if I could have made another list with as much variety as yours!
how interesting! I think I´ve never read a book from Philipines
RaderaAdding Secret Scriptures and Tracks to my to-read list. Thanks!
