2012 Nordic Reading Challenge completed

I seem to have read an awful lot of Swedish crime fiction this year.

First of all 1 in 7 of the books that I have read have been Nordic, and then of that 20, nearly half have been Swedish., and looking from another perspective, half have been new-to-me authors (marked **).

The 2012 Nordic Challenge was hosted by Notes from the North and I aimed to read 11-20 books.

Among my selection were some old favourites too.
