Why a 20th Memorial Anniversary Dinner was a Fabulous Idea

The Perks of Planning a Project
I need a new clock stating “Any Minute Now”. Then when it chimes, people will know it’s time to duck.
Back in the Saddle
One sweet soul wrote people like me made him want to kill himself. I refrained from replying that I was not inclined to stand in his way. I refrained from replying to any of the comments. But yeah, they chinked my confidence.
Research is a hugely important part of my work. On a daily basis I check out whether anything interesting has cropped up in the online second-hand bookstores. I collected this little hoard this morning and the excitement is real! So thanks to all the bookshop owners who so swiftly and professionally pack and post — you make my life sooo much easier. (Yes, I know there are libraries, excellent libraries with excellent librarians, but I prefer to work at my own desk where I can immediately add interesting research facts and photos to the right research/writing/timeline program there and then.) #StockholmPärlor #StockholmTreasures @printzpublishing @aschehoug @ciceroforlag @editricenord @humanitas_fiction @lsamsterdam @kirjastusvarrak @penguinbuecher @penguinlibros @wsoykirjat

Igår blev en härlig dag! Frukost på Riddarholmen följdes av en snabb färd till Bokprat i Jönköping. Så många härliga läsare! Tack för att ni kom! Och ett stort tack även till @annalevahn på @printzpublishing som ordnade frukosten och inte minst till @kulturladyn och @kickis_bokvarld som så professionellt driver Bokprat dagarna i Jönköping. Så himla härligt alltihop! (Och tack till de duktiga fotograferna vars bilder jag har skamlöst knyckt! 🙈🙏🏻)
