So far I have only read four oldies. To read 37 will be hard to reach as I am tempted to read new books all the time.
The four I read are.
1 Winterland by Alan Glynn
2 Reckless by Andrew Gross
3. Sacred Treason by James Forrester
4. The Village by T F Rhoden
Number four was a gift from Member Giveaways so I have written a review http://www.librarything.com/work/10559000/reviews/69144637

The next four books I have read are:
5. Dråpslaget http://www.librarything.com/work/8111928/book/43133310 by Björn Hellberg http://www.librarything.com/author/hellbergbjrn
6. Rovlystnad by Björn Hellberg
7. Inte önskvärd http://www.librarything.com/work/7091397 by Björn Hellberg
Björn Hellberg is a Swedish author of crime fiction. His books are written in an oldfashioned stile. Reading his books makes me think of Colin Dexter. Björn is one of my favourite authors and his language is wonderful.
8 The Bricklayer http://www.librarything.com/work/8390725/book/56158291 by by Noah Boyd http://www.librarything.com/author/boydnoah
8390725::The Bricklayer is the authors debut and the book is very promising. It is a page turner and I am looking forward to 10607431::Agent X which has been published recently.

I read a lot of Björn Hellberg some years ago. I also like his oldfashioned style.

Here comes another four books:
9 Varför heter det tonfisk? by Språkrådet.
This is a book about Swedish words and their etymologi.
10 Amerikahuset av Sven Olov Karlsson
This book has been on my shelf for years and as it did not look particularly interesting I have not read it until now. But it was very well worth reading.
11 Karl von Linnés levnadssaga by Karl Blink. A book published in 1907 about a very well-known Swede.
12 Mordbyn by Andrea Maria Schenkel
