Flock And Roll by Vicki Hilton

Flock and Roll by Vicki Hilton is part of the shared Tuft Swallow world series written by seven different authors. All the stories are set in a cosy, small town full of charming people, all keen on bird jokes and minding each others' businesses... 

Flock and Roll is the third story in the series, and we get to meet crochet lover Rowena and currently injured hockey player Brody.

Rowena has been in love with Brody, her brother's best friend, since before he left Tuft Swallow to peruse a successful hockey career. She has since been doing her best to forget all about him. Now he is back, this is proving difficult! Judging by the sparks flying when they meet up, perhaps it is not as one-sided as she thought.

With the help from Brody, Rowena is training for a roller derby tryout over in the next town and there a some very memorable moments in the book including the snippet below describing her emergency tryout outfit:

"I looked more Stinkerbell than Tinkerbell. I shrugged. At least with all the holes, I’d be air-conditioned."

Lots of mishaps, sweet moments, tweet peepers, THE GOAT, any some of the characters from the other books are linking this story beautifully to the others on the series.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
