1/52

48. A book that might cause someone to react “You read what?!?” Leena Krohn: Salaisuuksia

Perheenjäsen tokaisi, että ”mikä toi nyt sitten on”, kun luin kirjaa. Kieltämättä kirjan malli ei ole perinteinen, vaan lastenkirjoissa enemmän nähty epämäärinen muoto – tämä kirja on leveä ja neliön mallinen. Kansien kuvista voi myös päätellä, että kirja on lapsille suunnattu.

Kirjassa on viisi novellia, joissa kaikissa tarinoissa päähenkilöinä on lapsia. Siitä huolimatta tarinat ovat oikein hyvin aikuisenkin luettavissa ja niissä piilee elämänviisautta. Uusi Opabinia tarinassa käsitellään esihistoriallisen otuksen kohtaloa. Mare Serenitatis novellin tapahtumapaikkana on Kuu ja kertoo mm. ihmisten toimien vaikutuksista maailman muutoksiin. Salattujen totuuksien yliopisto opettaa näkemään elämän uudessa valossa. Näkymättömässä tähdessä pohdintana on hyvä ja paha. Kotini syvyydessä kertoo aavetalosta. Varsin hyvä lukukokemus. 3½

3/52

34. A book with a travel theme Jakob Wegelius: Legenden om Sally Jones

Päähenkilö on gorilla, joka syntyy Kongon sademetsässä, joutuu ihmisten käsiin ja matkustaa maailman ympäri. Hän näkee niin Istanbulin, Borneon kuin New Yorkinkin ja kohtaa matkallaan ikäviä tyyppejä, mutta myös yhden kunnollisen

2/52

32. A book whose cover shows more than 2 people Fiona Staples, Brian K. Vaughan: Saga, volume 9

- Kannessa pääperhe, Alana, Marko ja Hazel

26. A short book (<210 pages) by a new-to-you author David Duchovny: Pyhä lehmä

- Vanhana X-Files fanina Duchovny ei ole minulle vieras näyttelijänä, mutta kirjojaan en ole koskaan lukenut. Pyhä lehmä oli sopivasti 205 sivuinen.

5/52

7. A book that fits a prompt suggestion that didn't make the final list: A book related to a famous/popular game Marko Annala: Kuutio

- Pääosin kirjassa pyöritellään Rubikin kuutiota, mutta mainitaan kyllä ihan pelejäkin, kuten Dark Souls ja The last of us.

6/52

3. A book related to the lyrics for the song "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music Jennifer McMahon: Talven lapset

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Kirjan tapahtumat sijoittuvat talveen ja maisema on kuvattu lumiseksi ja luntakin pyrytti.Tarinassa menneen tragedia kohtaa nykyisyyden. Paikoin tunnelma oli karmiva Stephen Kingin Uinu, uinu, lemmikkini tapaan. Kerrontaa ja henkilökuvausta ei kuitenkaan voi verrata Stephen Kingiin, vaikka tarinan lukikin sujuvasti ja se piti hyvin otteessaan. Parhaimmillaan tarinassa oli hyvä jännittynyt tunnelma, ennen kuin mysteeri oli ratkaisu vaiheissa. Kirjan lopetus hiukan lässähti, mutta kyllä tämä kokonaisuudessaan ihan hyvin upposi. 3½
