I'm not overly fond of a lot of newer Scandinavian crime authors who seem to want to mix romance,badass chicks, and crime with over-the-top thriller action, all of which seem to quite popular after the advent of the Lisbeth Salander novels.

I love this author, his characters, especially Erlendur, and this book. ![]() As he begins to ask questions about the fateful evening when Matthildur disappeared, Erlendur begins to suspect what may have also befallen his long-lost brother.Ĭan Erlendur possibly solve the disappearances of Matthildur and Beggi, after all these decades?

Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake! Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon - from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence. She has seen both these dreams come true. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. Spirited and whip-smart, these laugh-out-loud autobiographical essays are "a masterpiece" from the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer known for 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL" ( Sunday Telegraph ). ![]() |
