It’s Monday! What are you reading?

I am in the middle of moving from Hammerfest, one of the most northern towns in the world, to Sandes, near Stavanger, so I don’t have much time for reading. However, I try to sneak in some reading time, and some of the books I’m reading now are:

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Glass Houses by Rachel Caine (The Morganville Vampires Book One)
Dagene før mai by Sanne Mathiassen
