And they’re all for me! Ho Ho Ho! 😉
I haven’t read any of those books, but you have good taste in authors. My favourite by Jostein Gaarder is The Solitaire Mystery.
Jostein Gaarder is a magical writer. I’ve only read Sophie’s World and The Orange Girl so far, but I find his storytelling style both comforting and engaging. I also like his use of children as the central characters/storytellers. Provides a refreshing perspective.
