Adult Fiction
Max Seeck, The Archipelago (Loukko), was placed 1st as the best sold title in September (in all formats) and in audio and e-book 2nd.
Max Seeck’s thrillers are already published in 40 territories, but instead of repeating some kind of success pattern, the author reinvents himself in every Jessica niemi-thriller. [–] A melancholy suspense story, which is so well written that one needs to take time to read it. Once you’ve started, you don’t want to put the book down unfinished.”

Hanna Brotherus, For My Life was placed 6th best sold title in September (all formats) and in audio 6th and 11th in e-books.
If anything’s confessional literature, it’s this book. [—] Brotherus writes beautifully. She experiments
with all kinds of metaphors and images, studies and twists her thoughts… [—] At its best, her style is
fresh and precise. [—] MY ONLY HOME is proof that Brotherus has talent for literature.”

Riikka Pulkkinen, The Enchantment was placed 11th best sold title in September (print) and in e-book 8th.
The skillful text carries different atmospheres and balances between them, hlding the reader on a knife’s edge waiting what happens next. Pulkkinen’s text is rich with details that build a strong landscape both in the visual and physical sense. How can a text be this light and heavy at the same time? [–] Pulkkinen is an incredibly skillful, clever, deep author with a clear voice of her own, and she’s again managed to capture a great image on the pages with almost magical skills.”

Vera Vala, The Italian Game was placed 15th best sold title in September (all formats) and in audio 16th.
The Italian Game begins a new crime series, and this opening title is impressing, the language and style are polished, and the narration keeps one in its grip until the end. [–] The Italian Game is also a novel about the depths of mind and memory and about facing a strongly rooted fear. The ending of this exciting title turned out to surprise me!”

Itty Bitty Princess and the (Awful) Truth About Babies is a warm, funny and sweet story that will solve many questions and will save some grownups from having that “uncomfortable” talk.
