I have been in The Reading Challenge for 10 years now in this blog with you. Last year I decided to show you what on earth I read. It turn out a great idea so at least in 2026 I will repeat it.
In 2025 I read:
3 books written by Kate Morton: The House at Riverton, The Clockmaker's Daughter and The Forgotten Garden
2 books written by Harper Lee: To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman
2 novels by Minna Cath
Jane Austen's Persuasion
Anne Lyons' The Air Raid Book Club
Viljo Rauta's book about The Great Wrath
Plus many craft, history and science books.
In this year 2026 January - February I've read:
Astrid Lindgren's War Diaries 1939-1945 (in Finnish, mine). Actually I've started it already in November 2025. It was a bit heavy to read because it tells a lot about Finland's war time years in Ukranian war time. That's why I read it slow and with the time.
I've read also Johannes Schefferu's Lapponia (in Finnish, mine) which is very interesting and historical book about Sámi people from the year 1674. I do recommend it to all who want to read a comprehensive book about Sámi history. But when reading you must remember it is written in 1674 by an outsider for the outsiders, by Christians to Christians.
And I've read also Jenni Räinä's Vaino (in Finnish, mine) that's available only in Finnish and like Viljo Rauta's book it tells about the Great Wrath but is fiction that bases on the facts meanwhile Rauta's book is a science book. These books tell about genocide also around my local area in 1700-1721.
