Today is cinnamon roll day! I baked 40 for work.
I have been very productive so far today. So, I've decided to take a nice little coffee break with a book, a decaf mocha and a piece of pound cake.
I know there are mixed opinions here on Litsy about tagging books to fit a post (I like it and I do it. On the regular 🙃) I tagged his book yesterday because I thought it went nicely with my post about a coffee and snack break that accompanied my reading of a Swedish author‘s book. The description here on Litsy and elsewhere intrigued me so I checked it out today from my library. #blameitonlitsy
If a donut is wrong for an afternoon snack, I don‘t wanna be right 😛 Going to do a little postal book club journaling and wrap up Beartown, set in Sweden, by a Swedish author, translated from Swedish -ergo the chosen book 📓 📚 🐻 🍩 🇸🇪 ☕️ Side note: that book actually looks really good. We can all use a bit of Fika in our lives! ❤️
It‘s time for round two of #coffeebeanbookclub

I think I‘m out of my reading slump! Here is my #Aprilwrapup
All were good, in varying degree. My favorite was Sour Candy. Thanks again @JoeStalksBeck
Just got back from PA. Now it‘s time to unwind a little.
Page 1 and I‘m already 😍. I bought the hard copy so the kindle sample will have to do for now. #fika
pickAlthough I knew of the word Fika before -- there's a coffee shop with the name up in Duluth -- I wasn't aware that it was an entire concept until I saw a friend write about it on Instagram as he was on vacation in Scandinavia. So of course, I look it up. Much like the English tea time, Fika basically means to slow down and take time to just enjoy the time you have...with coffee and baked goodies of course; and who wouldn't want that?
In Sweden they do a coffee break TWICE a day! And they actually sit down and have a snack. Legally, we all get two 10 minute breaks for an 8-hour day. But how many of you actually have time to drink coffee (if you can withstand the annoyed looks of coworkers who can't believe you have the nerve to take a break)?
I'm moving to Sweden. Who's with me? #packyourbags
