| March 9, 2010 This week we are featuring DDG's new Scandinavian Crime Writing Interactive Map. Just click on each country to discover our pick for the best book or series from that country! If you pause your mouse over the country a message will pop up as well. Scandinavian crime novels are no longer literature's best kept secret, (see the release of The Girl Who Played With Fire in paperback) but if you haven't taken a dip yet... (ps. our entries for Finland and Denmark are a bit older, we'd love to hear some more current favorites from you!)
Here they are! Our weekly picks for the two best: two hardcover, two paperback, and two children's books. The very best new arrivals to leap out of the box and onto our shelves this week. Call or email us if you want more information on any of these titles, or to have us hold you a copy. Or stop in and check them out in person. We'd love to see you. Thanks as always for sharing your reading with us! |
