The days are getting shorter, and the darkness is conducive to reading about the recesses of the human soul.

To start with, I'd like to introduce you to a series by Swedish crime novelist Camilla Lackberg.

A series that stayed with me for a long time, after picking up one volume, I couldn't wait to read the next. All volumes are connected by the main characters Erika Falc and Patrik Hedström. Each volume, of course, is a different crime/series of crimes, and each volume also features a multitude of flashbacks and connections to the past, as evil grows in hiding, undisturbed.

Allow yourself to enter the world of a small seaside town on the west coast of Sweden, and I promise you won't regret it. Just be warned: each book in the series is addictive and will leave you wanting to read the next one.

You don't have to take my word for it – check out the opinions of other readers on the website lubimyczytac.pl, who, like me, were captivated by this extraordinary story.

I really enjoy the atmosphere of Scandinavian crime fiction – a well-developed social plot, an intriguing mystery, familiar characters. The narrative clearly conveys the feeling that "The Prey" was written quite a while ago, and yet I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and couldn't put it down. Although this time I managed to guess some of the clues and connections, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

The second volume of Camilla Läckberg's crime series is even better than the first. It's gripping from the start, making it hard to put down. My only slight criticism is the ending, which, for me, was a bit too confusing and convoluted, like, "it's him, but it's not, but it is, and maybe not, but it definitely is." Overall, I highly recommend it and will definitely read the next installment in the series :)

The third and so far best in Camilla Läckberg's crime series. While I guessed the killer quite quickly, I still found myself thoroughly immersed in the story with each page. I highly recommend it!

Console Table Ideas – Where to Use One and How to Style It

Do you remember coming home from school and dropping everything on the little table by the front door? Keys in the china dish, letters propped against the lamp, a vase of whatever was flowering in the garden and the old telephone with its curly cord. It was the first thing you saw when you walked in, and somehow it always said: you are home.

Do you remember Sunday visits to your nan's, when the nest of tables came out from beside the armchair? Three little tables, each tucked neatly under the next, were pulled apart and handed round – one for the teapot, one for the biscuit tin and one for Grandad's crossword – and then slid back together the moment everyone went home.

Do you remember the bookcase in your grandparents' front room? Rows of faded paperbacks, a set of encyclopaedias nobody ever finished, holiday souvenirs, a framed school photo and that one heavy atlas you pulled out on rainy afternoons. It was never styled for anyone – and yet it told the whole story of the family.
