- Tragedi på en lantkyrkogård M Lang. [Reread] Martel has noted how we never remember who the murderer is in detective stories, so they are rereadable many times.
- Rosor, kyssar och döden M Lang. Sex and drugs.
- The High Mountains of Portugal Y Martel. Closure of sorts at the end.
- Enciclopedia de la aviacion militar española № 101. It ends in the middle of a sentence, presumably one has to buy № 102 to find out how the story of the CANT Z.501 ends.
- Holistic Game Development with Unity, 3rd ed P de Byl. The code is very un-DRY. Maybe it’s a pedagogical choice, but it annoys me.
- Kapten Haddocks ordbok – Från alabasterskalle till ökenråtta B Wahlberg. The French list is on Wikipedia, properly referenced.
