An absolute favourite 😊

I'm feeling a little squiffy after making us afternoon mojitos, so I've made an Earl Grey mini afternoon tea to sober up!
Cut the crusts off the cream cheese and cucumber sandwich to show how posh I am; ate the crusts separately to prove how common I am 😄 I feel Moominpappa would understand!

“There's no need to imagine that you're a wondrous beauty, because that's what you are.”

Seems like the right time to read this... 🌞🌳📘

New bookends as a souvenir from Finland. So freaking adorable.

Moomin foldout book map ❤️. I had to choose this Moomin book, as it felt very fitting with yesterday bring midsummer.

Tempting.

Moomins are just so soothing. On the next one

Moomin exhibition. 😍

I'm Little My, and I bite fascists because I like it.

Rereading childhood stories 😊

Happy Midsummer Eve!

Wanted to fit in one more book for #WITmonth as well as being seasonally in-tune with the Northern Hemisphere (it's eternal summer in Malaysia, anyway :) Set in June, but it's a perfect end-of-August read. In this one, we have a summer of escapist absurdism via volatile nature & an abandoned theater. Playful, philosophical & thoughtful, the Moomin books are about how to be a person & to live with others while honouring individuality & character 🥰

It's been some kind of week for Moomintroll, his family, and friends.

#Septembowie Day 20: This bookstore in Bergen (Norli) made my daughter and I go #OhYouPrettyThings - if only we could take the moomin and wild things back home with us in Singapore.

In honour of Tove Jansson's birthday (thanks, @arlenefinnigan) here are some life-affirming #quickreads. #AndItsAugust @RealLifeReading

#RiotGrams Day 12: "Summer Reads"

I always re-read my Moomin books during this season because they're the perfect summer books!

I adore Moomins so we took my daughter to Kew Gardens as they have a Moomin trail to follow over the Easter holiday...I was a bit disappointed in the Moomin experience but the weather was beautiful. I wish there had been some Moomins walking about but there wasn't one!!

I discovered Finnish Tove Jansson and her Moomins with my children. Now she is one of my favourites. So delightful! Such sweet, sad, funny, philosophical stories that children and adults can enjoy. If you are okay with whimsy mixed with a bit of melancholy, then I highly recommend.

I was thrilled to visit the Moomin Adventure at South Bank yesterday. It was amazing. They had recreated parts of the books and had some of Tove's original artwork. On return I decided to re read some of by he books :)
