November Wrap-up

So far into December, and I realise I have not yet done the November Wrap-up. I had a really good reading month, reading 15 books. Mainly due to the three challenges I participated in; Nonfiction November, Novellas in November and German Literature Month. Great challenges all of them.

The Library at Christiansborgs Castle in Copenhagen

My own challenge

a nonfiction from my TBR shelves: The Lodger, Shakespeare on Silver Street by Charles Nicoll

• a fiction from my TBR shelves:Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk by Nikolai Leskov

• a translated novel outside of the English- and Swedish speaking countries: The Sandman by

• a classic tale: Metamorphoses by Franz Kafka

• a book from my Wish list: none

Nonfiction November

I read four nonfiction books. Three of them with a history theme, and one with an economic theme.

• Beard, Mary - Gudar och människor (How do we Look? The Eye of Faith)

• Nicholl, Charles - The Lodger, Shakespeare on Silver Street

• Cervenka, Andreas - Girig-Sverige (Greedy Sweden)

• Blom, K. Arne/Moen, Jan - Skånska stenar berättar (What old stones tell us)

Novellas November

I was happy to read these books by theme from the host. On top of that I read another three novellas. I will definitely continue reading more.

• Short Classics - The Sandman by E.T.A. Hoffmann (German author)

• Novellas in Translation - Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (original in German).

• Short Non-Fiction - The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

German Literature Month

Not really following the theme of the hosts, but managed a few German books.

• The Sandman by E.T.A. Hoffmann

• Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

• Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse (still reading
