Mia | 173 comments 1. Onni ja siniset kengät by Alexander McCall Smith.

I loved the tv series but I wasn't that keen of the book. But I think I'll still read some of the other books from the series.

Mia | 173 comments 14. The Book of Bunny Suicides by Andy Riley.

I liked this one. Great humor.

15. The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey.

Someone said that if you like The Book of Bunny Suicides, you will like Gorey's works so I had to look him up. I will definitely read more of him in the future. And I really liked his art.
