[url=https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/174195-around-the-year-in-52-books]Täältä[/url] löytynee apuja haasteeseen.

Toivottavasti osallistujia haasteisiin tulee myös ensi vuonna. Itse tässä pikkuhiljaa jo suunnittelen, kun pitäisi saada samoja kirjoja useaan haasteeseen mahdutettua. Sekä Goodreads että Popsugar vaikuttaa ainakin nyt alkuunsa ihan törkeen vaikeilta, mutta niinhän se on aina - eiköhän kohtiin löydy jotain.   Nyt jumituin kohtaan [i]29. An underrated book, a hidden gem or a lesser known book[/i]. Aliarvioitu tai helmi, josta kukaan ei ole kuullutkaan... ei voi tietää ennen lukemista onko kirja ylipäätään helmi omasta mielestä ja onko se aliarvioitu. Pitää mennä varmaan tuolla "lesser known book" , vaikka siinäkin on sellainen mutta, että jos itse ei ole kuullutkaan kirjasta, kaikki muut voi olla...

Minä nyt ainakin aion taas osallistua ja olen jo alkanut hyvissä ajoin suunnittelemaan lukemisiani. Ensi vuonna meinaan ottaa löysemmin rantein haasteet ja luen vähemmän kovalla kiireellä. Tai koitan ainakin... Jos lukuinspiraatio iskee, ei sille mahda mitään.   Ajattelin kohtaa 29 silleen että [i]underrated book[/i] voisi olla kirja josta itse tykkäsi, mutta jolla on GR:ssa huono arvosana ja paljon arvostelijoita; [i]hidden gem[/i] taas voisi olla sellainen jolla on hyvä arvosana mutta vähän arvostelijoita ja [i]lesser known book[/i] voisi olla jonkun kuuluisan kirjailijan tuntemattomampi teos.   Itselle tuottaa vaikeuksia ainakin kohta 36 [i]A book from your TBR/wishlist that you don't recognize, recall putting there, or put there on a whim[/i]. Minulla ei ole varsinaista TBR-listaa, ainoastaan yksi aikoja sitten hylätty mutta edelleen koneella roikkuva kokoelma kirjoja, jotka olen kaukaisina aikoina aikonut lukea. Enää ne eivät sanotummin kiinnosta. Ja niistäkin on vaikeaa valkata kirja tähän haastekohtaan, koska tunnistan ne kaikki, enkä ole unohtanut että olen ne sinne pistänyt. Päähänpistokirja siis pitäisi kaivaa joukosta. Huokaus...

Vaikuttaa ihan mielenkiintoiselta. Olen aiemminkin yrittänyt näitä haasteita, mutta aina on jäänyt. Voisi siirtää nämä Exceliin ja alkaa suunnitella mitä luen mihinkin kohtaan.

[b]9. A book that can be read in a day[/b] Jane Mount: [i]Bibliophile - An illustrated miscellany[/i]   Aloitin lukemaan tätä vähän keskiyön jälkeen ja sain sen juuri luettua. Ajattelin että runsaasti kuvitettu kirja olisi vieläkin nopealukuisempi, mutta yksityiskohtia oli niin runsaasti ja niitä tihrustellessa meni yllättävän kauan.   1/52

19. A fantasy book [url=https://www.risingshadow.fi/library/book/6555-haltiain-verta][b][color=green]Andrzej Sapkowski: Haltiain verta[/color][/b] (Witcher 3)[/url]   - No niin, haaste käyntiin. Saa nähdä montako kohtaa tämän vuoden aikana tulee täyteen...   1/52   [spoiler]1. A book with a title that doesn't contain the letters A, T or Y 2. A book by an author whose last name is one syllable 3. A book that you are prompted to read because of something you read in 2019 4. A book set in a place or time that you wouldn't want to live 5.

A book related to time [/spoiler]

[b]12. A book that is a collaboration between 2 or more people[/b] Rob Sears: [i]Donald Trumpin kauneimmat runot[/i]   Tavallaan joo. Trump on kirjoittanut / sanonut kaikki kirjan sanat ja Sears on järjestänyt ne runoiksi. Onko Trump [i]tietoisesti[/i] ollut tekemässä yhteistyötä, sitä en osaa sanoa. Luultavasti ei, mutta siitäkin huolimatta tämä jää nyt tähän.   2/52

35. A book with a geometric pattern or element on the cover - [url=https://www.risingshadow.fi/library/book/8158-ylenemisen-kaivo]Brandon Sanderson: Ylenemisen kaivo[/url]   Kolmiota ja muita geometrisia elementtejä on kannen kuvassa.   1/52

16. A book set in a rural or sparsely populated area - [url=https://www.risingshadow.net/library/book/50390-the-bear-and-the-nightingale]Katherine Arden: The Bear and the Nightingale[/url]   Tarina sijoittuu metsän keskellä olevaan syrjäiseen kylään 1300 luvun Venäjälle. Kirja seuraa erikoislaatuisen Vasya tytön kasvamista lapsesta kohti aikuisuutta. Tarina ammentaa venäläisestä kansanperinteestä ja vilisee kaikenmoisia henkiolentoja, joihin tytöllä on yhteys. Virkistävää oli lukea tarinaa, missä on mukana slaavilaiseen mytologiaan kuuluvia hahmoja. Pidin myös todella siitä miten tarinaa kerrottiin. Kirjailijan käyttämää kielellistä ilmaisua oli varsin mukava lukea ja kirjailija onnistui loistavasti saamaan tarinan hengen sekä sen miljöön eloon. 4½   2/52

4. A book set in a place or time that you wouldn't want to live: [b]Heather Morris - Auschwitzin tatuoija[/b]   Harva paikka olisi ollut Auschwitzia vastenmielisempi paikka elää.   1/52

[b]22. A book with the major theme of survival[/b] Heikki Aittokoski: [i]Narrien laiva[/i]   Menee ehkä vähän rivien väleihin, mutta kun kirja kertoo maailman konfliktialueista ja diktatuureista sekä tavallisten ihmisten elämästä niiden kurimuksessa, nousee eloonjääminen / selviytyminen pakostakin aiheeksi.   3/52

27. A history or historical fiction - [color=black]Mikko Moilanen: Suomen pyövelit[/color]   Kirja kertoo pyövelien ammatista Suomessa 1600-1800 lukujen välissä sekä usean pyövelin henkilöhistoriaa siltä osin kun tietoja on ollut saatavilla. Kirjailija on kerännyt materiaalia sirpaletiedoista ja koonnut ne yhtenäiseksi kokonaisuudeksi. Aikamoinen urakka se on varmasti ollut. Koska pyövelin pölkylle joutui enemmän tai vähemmän rikollisia henkilöitä, myös ajan rikollisuutta sekä rahvaan elämänmenoa yhdeltä kantilta katsottuna käsiteltiin. Puhtoisia eivät useat pyövelitkään olleet sillä 82:sta Suomessa toimineista pyövelistä 8 menetti lopulta itsekin päänsä. Kirjassa oli jonkin verran toistoa sen jäsentelyn takia – samoja henkilöitä vilisi eri osioissa ja koska kuuntelin äänikirjan, en ihan pysynyt mukana henkilöissä. Joka tapauksessa kirja on varsin mielenkiintoinen historiallinen katsaus ja ajankuvaus sekä tapahtumiltaan osittain varsin karmea. 4   3/52

39. A book by an author whose real name(s) you're not quite sure how to pronounce - [url=https://www.risingshadow.net/library/book/30140-the-alchemist]Paolo Bacigalupi: The Alchemist[/url]   No, en ollut ihan varma miten Bacigalupi lausutaan. Tarkistin lausumisen nyt netistä ja italialaisittainhan se lausutaan – c lausutaan äänteellä ts.   9. A book that can be read in a day - [color=black]Marko Hautala: Kuolleiden sauna[/color]   Novelli mittaisen äänikirjan kuunteluun meni tunti. Novelli kuuluu [i]Storytel Orginalin[/i] julkaisemaan sarjaan [i]Pelon Atlas[/i]. Tietääkseni tarina ei ole luettavassa muussa formaatissa – ehkä joku päivä ilmestyy myös luettavaksi.   5/52

27. A history or historical fiction[b][color=green] C.J. Sansom: Itsevaltias (Shardlake 3)[/color] [/b] - Shardlake sarja pohjautuu oikeisiin historiallisiin tapahtumiin ja henkilöihin 1500 -luvun englannissa. Tässä romaanissa kuljetaan mm. Henrik VIII mukana 1541 kuninkaankiertueella.   2/52   [spoiler]1. A book with a title that doesn't contain the letters A, T or Y 2. A book by an author whose last name is one syllable 3. A book that you are prompted to read because of something you read in 2019 4. A book set in a place or time that you wouldn't want to live 5. The first book in a series that you have not started   6.

A book by an author whose real name(s) you're not quite sure how to pronounce 40. A book with a place name in the title   41. A mystery 42.

9. A book that can be read in a day: [b]Sita Salminen: Lupa[/b]. Hiukan yli 200 sivua, nopealukuinen.   11. A book originally published in a year that is a prime number: [b]Andrzej Sapkowski: Kohtalon miekka[/b]. Alkuperäinen teos julkaistu 1993 ja suomen kielinenkin 2011.   23. A book featuring an LGBTQIA+ character or by an LGBTQIA+ author: [b]Eino Nurmisto: Homopojan opas[/b]. Osuu molempiin kohtiin.     4/52

[b]50. A book with a silhouette on the cover[/b] Susan Cain: [i]Hiljaiset – Introverttien manifesti[/i]   En aikonut tätäkään kirjaa käyttää näissä haasteissa, mutta kun sattui tähän vähän hankalanpuoleiseen kohtaan sopiva kansikuva tulemaan vastaan niin mikäpä siinä. Kannessa on ikkunoita, joissa yhdessä on valo ja siinä näkyy tietokoneella istuvan ihmisen siluetti.   4/52

22. A book with the major theme of survival - [color=black]Juha Kauppinen: Monimuotoisuus - kertomuksia katoamisista[/color]   Kirjan teeman voi sanoa olevan selviytyminen (tai ennemminkin ei selviytyminen). Kirja käsitellee Suomen luonnon monimuotoisuuden katoamista. Kirjassa kerrotaan valittujen eliöiden – kasvi ja eläin populaatioiden - häviämisestä alueellisesti sekä lajien sukupuuttoon kuolemisesta. Lajien menestys riippuu luonnon valinnasta, mutta ihminen toiminnallaan köyhdyttää tai tuhoaa elinympäristöjä, jonka vuoksi populaatioiden kamppailu olemassaolostaan luonnossa vaikeutuu ja valitettavan usein selviytyminen myös hävitään.   6/52

[b]25. A book related to the arts[/b] Anne Delbée: [i]Camille Claudel – Kuvanveistäjän elämä[/i]   Nimikin sen jo kertoo eli tämä on elämäkertaromaani ranskalaisesta kuvanvestäjästä Camille Claudelista. Kirjan sivuilla tavataan paljon muitakin aikakauden taiteilijoita, tärkeimpinä Claudelin opettaja/rakastaja Auguste Rodin ja hänen veljensä runoilija Paul Claudel.   5/52

5. The first book in a series that you have not started: [b]Naomi Novik: Kuninkaan lohikäärme[/b]. Ensimmäinen kirja Temeraire-sarjasta.   13. A prompt from a previous Around the Year in 52 Books challenge: [i]2018 An author's debut book (their first book to be published)[/i]: [b]Tuomas Kokko: Tosi kivat juhlat[/b]. Haastekohta vuodelta 2018, koska silloin en osallistunut kirjahaasteeseen.   6/52   [spoiler]1. A book with a title that doesn't contain the letters A, T or Y 2.
