Finally got a chance to read this book that @Oryx got me the birthday before last 😂
The pacing was a little uneven for me, but I loved learning about icebreakers and Finland! Very cool!
Never would have thought to pick this for myself and I‘m so glad I read it.

Thank you for the birthday book @Oryx ! My husband has already stolen it, so I guess I‘ll read it when he gives it back 🤷🏻‍♀️ Luckily, he‘s a fast reader!

This was for my local library‘s reading challenge, under the heading “not my bag”. It was a teeny bit of a cheat, because I saw that it‘s set largely off the coast of Finland, and I was relieved to see that it had a bit of history and social commentary as well (not all boats and ice!). As a teacher, I‘m insanely jealous of Finland‘s education system: free education for all, up to and including PhD, and their Early Years education - wow!

So many books in progress and waiting to be read. So of course I have to buy and start another one. It's a travel book set on an icebreaker in Finland. I can't resist that. Learning so much about Finland. It's definitely high on the list of places to visit.
