#booktober day 5: the first book you read. well, Ronja isn't the first book, there were school books & short books, but I had it as a goal (it was a favorite bedtime read for bb anna) & read the fuck out of it once I could. Still the best children's book: "On the night that Ronja was born a thunderstorm was raging over the mountains, such a storm that all the goblinfolk in Matt's Forest crept back in terror into their holes and hiding places..."

Move over Pippi!!!

Just kidding - but did you know about Ronia?

Spent today weeding the front yard and rearranging house plants for maximum summer sun, all with Ronia‘s company.

On one hand, I would have loved the slightly old-fashioned survivalist feel of this book as a child. I loved the kids-on-their own trope of the Boxcar Children, etc.

On the other hand, it has some pretty questionable ideas about gender politics and family patriarchs that make it seem older than its 1981 pub date. #audiobook #kidlit

Den här boken är lika speciell för mig nu som den var när jag var mindre, men jag klarar av att läsa de lite mer 'läskigs' scenerna (som jag fick mardrömmar av när jag var yngre) utan problem nu. Den är verkligen tidlös och jag längtar till jag får läsa den för mina framtida barn/husdjur. #astridlindgren #ronjarövardotter #books

Prior to meeting my wife I really was not familiar with Astrid Lindgren's non-Pippi oeuvre. I have read and treasured so many of her wonderful stories and today especially, I am grateful to her. I ❤ you, 🇸🇪. 💔#aprilbookshowers #womenintranslation

"Perhaps that's the sort of thing a mother feels," said Little-Snip, "when her child lacks something she needs."

#booktober day 24: Wish I Could Be There. Which makes no sense, because between the river, the animals, the gray dwarves and the harpies, it's not very human-friendly, and I'm not even outdoorsy, but I spent my entire childhood wishing I was in Mattisskogen, Matt's Forest. Looking for the wild horses, living in the Bear Cave. Holy shit I love this book so much.

This was my favourite book when I was little. Lindgren has a way of writing about dark and deep subjects in a suitable way for children. I think this was the book that started my love for literature.

A picture that demonstrates how I am running out of shelf space.
