CAVEAT! This post contains sneaky affiliate links to thebookdepository! 
My current to-be-read pile includes (but is not limited to)
* The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest by the late Stieg Larsson. I saw the movies recently and were positively surprised (except maybe for the last one), so am looking forward to reading this trilogy. I'm really confused by the English titles btw, as the originals mean "Men who hate women", (the second one is a literal translation) and "the aircastle that exploded". I'm especially mad about the first one!
* Tolkien: Man & Myth No idea about how this compares to other books like this I've read, borrowed from a friend.
* Thief with no Shadow by Emily Gee. Borrowed from a friend who recommended it. She read TONS of fantasy and reviews it too, so I have high hopes for this!
* A brand new collection of (old) Don Rosa comics - this is the 9th album published in Finland that consists solely of his work. He's a superstar here, the lines for his signings were CRAZY this year.
* Field of Thirteen, a collection of short stories from my favourite mystery/detective author Dick Francis.
* The Finnish translation of Alastair Reynold's Pushing Ice. I got this autographed a couple of years ago when he was visiting Finland and I'm really ashamed I haven't read it yet!
