Two books and pics of Lapland

I kind of got out of control with my last book order. I didn't realize I'd ordered sooo many books until our postbox was full of new ones for days!! Bookdepository has a weird way of sending every book in it's own envelope (not good for the environment!!) which means that there's no annoying pick-up from the postoffice and the mailman just stuffs as many into your postbox as can fit.

Anyway, I've now read two of those books - No time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay and The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff. The first one I speed read last weekend, it's turned out to be quite a page turner and quite an interesting story.. The 19th Wife is actually two stories, one of Ann Eliza Young in the late 1800's and her road from a Latter-day-Saint's 19th wife to a crusade to end polygamy and the other in modern day of Jordan, who has been thrown out of the sect. I loved the story of Jordan but found myself a bit bored by the story of Ann Eliza at times, but still, I'd recommend this book! Check out http://www.the19thwife.com/.

With our skiing holiday coming up next week (no, we're not going to Lapland this time, hee hee), I want to share a few photos from our Christmas holiday in Lapland.

Winter Wonderland - Hetta, Lapland

Polar stratospheric clouds - a rare sight even in Lapland

Here I'm trying snowshoes!
