This is not an easy task. To find 10 favourites among 122 books is quite the challenge, especially when you usually enjoy all the books you read. The list is in no particular order.
1.
All the light we cannot see by Anthony Doerr.
Probably the longest book that I read in 2015. Such a great story, easy to read and capturing. I know this one has been all over the place and a lot of people love it. Long story short: it's World War II, blind french girl, her father and great uncle, german soldier, war war war, the war ends. Well, if this short summary didn't want to you read the book, you can always read more about it

Det usynlige biblioteket by Thorvald Steen.
Picture Alexander the Great dying and his mistress locked up, pouring her thoughts, experiences and feelings down on paper while she awaits her trial (because duh, of course she's the one to blame for Alexander dying or anything else related), you just know it's going to be juicy. Or maybe not. Read it.
3.
Bienes historie by Maja Lunde.
19th Century England, todays USA and China in the future. It's a story about bees and how we humans are dependent on their existence. But it's also a story about desperation and hopelessness, hope, love and determination.
4.
Historien om fru Berg by Ingvild H. Rishøi.
I think this is the third short stories collection I've read by Ingvild H. Rishøi and probably the one I love the most. Humans are fragile, and Rishøi is so good at describing it.
5.
Trollvinter by Tove Jansson.
One of the best books about the Moomins. This book is perfect for a day its snowing and you're the one who wish you were in hibernation (or maybe you wish that the rest of the world was in hibernation, and you the only one awake).
6.
Flommens år by Margaret Atwood.
I loved
The Handmaid's Tale and
Oryx and Crake, and I loved this one too. It's sci-fi at its best. Margaret Atwood is one of the best authors in my opinion.
7.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.
To see the world from the view of a teenage boy with autism, who decide to solve the mystery of the murdered dog. It's such a lovely written book, and I recommend you read it.
8.
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.
Ah, Jane Austen. My very first Jane Austen book and I loved it. It's not that it happens a lot in this book, but it's the way Austen describe the few things that happens that make it so great.
9.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg.
I love the movie so, so much, and the book is not bad either! There are a few differences of course, but it's such a beautiful story, both the one in the book and the movie story, so it doesn't matter really. It's all about looooove and community, and the changes of time.
10.
Animal Farm by George Orwell.
Oink oink, we are all pigs. Weird and probably very critical towards society. But I don't care much for those things. I appreciate a good story and this is one of those.
Ps. You can leave questions for the q&a in the comments! - if you want to, of course.
