Benny and the Blast From the Past

Tom Erik Fure

Join Benny and the gang in the epic and awkward conclusion to the Benny Bark series, as Benny stumbles into his teenage years. In Benny and the Blast from the Past it’s the last summer break before Junior High, and Benny’s become a bona fide teenager with hormones running rampant. The summer break takes an unexpected turn when his parents ambush him with a vacation to Vulkanaria, a small island paradise by the Canary Islands – and this time literally everyone is going. After an unsuccessful attempt to once again derail their vacation, for his own hormonal reasons, Benny arrives at Vulkanaria. Once there, he discovers – to his absolute horror – that their tour guide is none other than his old nemesis, Mr. I. Diót! Benny does everything in his power to avoid him, but when Magda-Rose is kidnapped, all bets are off! With Benny's nonexistent luck and the forces of nature working against them, Benny and his friends must race against the clock to save Magda-Rose and get off the island. Only one thing is certain: They’re all gonna need a vacation after this vacation!

The Rock Crypt

Kaj Skagen

In 2033, in a broken-down world, Sylvester Litlafosse writes his chronicle. He is located in a thinly populated village in western Norway, where the few who survive are keeping something like a tiny community alive. Through his writing, Sylvester unravels the dramatic story that led him there. A central figure in the story is Sylvester’s unorthodox master Åskell Suparman, an occultist, charlatan and saint, who wants to burn all of Europe so a new world can raise from its ruins. Through his work with the chronicle, Sylvester must travel beyond the small village to see how the rest of the world fares. The journeys are not without dangers. Soon travellers appear in the village, travellers without noble motifs, and they set in motion a chain of events which will have big consequences. The Rock Crypt is a fantastic novel in all senses of the word, here the novel of ideas meets the thriller, and realism meets fantasy.

Blue Hour Sonatas

Charlotte Louise Vaillot Knudsen

In Charlotte Vaillot Knudsen’s poetry collection Blue Hour Sonatas a woman and a man meet over a plate of venus clams and sweet music arises between them. They play together: Her on the violin, him on the piano. However when he finds a new muse, she resorts to cleverness and magic to save their love. Blue Hour Sonatas is an ecstatic and fabulous story which moves forward in hot soil, amongst flickering will-o'-the-wisps, witch storms and flaming opera scenes. "Smashing melodrama steeped in a flaringly intricate imagery, magenta-dripping – to quote – word creations and a pleasing playfulness with typography." KLASSEKAMPEN, BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2023

Instruction Manual for Everyday Sex

Siri Dalsmo Berge

Sex is an important part of a relationship. Some believe it is the very glue in the relationship, but do you know what the key to good everyday sex over time is? It is neither technical skills nor synchronized orgasms that are most important. Couples who have good sex over many years primarily have a solid friendship at the bottom. A friendship characterized by mutual trust and admiration. And then they prioritize sex. Even though they are busy and have a thousand irons in the fire, they choose to spend time being intimate with each other. They make room for it, because they have experienced that everyday sex strengthens their closeness and sense of belonging. In Instruction Manual for Everyday Sex, GP and couples therapist Siri Dalsmo Berge guides you through common sexual concerns and problems as she does in consultations with patients. She combines medical knowledge and up-to-date research on sexuality and health with good, well-documented advice on how you can increase your sexual well-being and intimacy with your partner in everyday life. The quality of your close relationships is the most important factor that affects how long you live. Physical intimacy and sex are an important part of this, and a good sex life contributes to better health, while problems with sex or difficult sexual experiences create ill health. In other words, good everyday sex is good for you.

The Billy Goats Gruff and Santa

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The goats attend the Christmas tree lighting. They eat gingerbread and talk to their friends, and everyone is excited for Santa to come. But Santa has never visited the goats. Maybe he can’t find their home? Or doesn’t have the energy to walk up the steep hill? Or maybe it’s because the smallest goat is a little scared of Santa? No, probably not that. But if they write their wish list and send it to Santa, THEN maybe he will come! As soon as they think it, they do it. What they want most of all is a sled with a steering wheel. On Christmas Eve they eat dinner, they do the dishes – and they wait. And wait. Finally, the largest goat goes outside to get some firewood. Then FINALLY someone knocks on their door… «The illustrations are lively and full of action. A lot happens on the pages, and the colors splash and will light up every child's room. It's hard not to laugh along, and with the right narrator, the book will be a clear Christmas favourite.»KRISTELIGT DAGBLAD (Denmark), five/five stars
