Konsten att sälja krig: propaganda från Cato till Nato by Pierre Gilly (The Art of Selling War: Propaganda from Cato to Nato, only in Swedish, I think?)
This is an interesting and very well structured book that begins with a chapter on how the brain works, to explain why we so easily believe things that aren't true. Then it goes on with general techniques of war propaganda, and then finally a series of chapters on specific wars of the 20th and 21st centuries, ending with Ukraine in 2014. I learned a lot of things, hopefully it will be good vaccination against propaganda. The author is a Swedish-French journalist.
The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley
Awww. I really enjoyed this Robin Hood retelling, it has so much heart. And I love the sense of community, I'm always a sucker for that. ♥
In other news, I think I may have sinusitis. Ugh. /o\
