The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well | 
Picked up this book while thrifting earlier this month. It looks interesting, so I thought I'd settle in with it for #hyggehour
Ready and excited for my first #hyggehourreadathon The dog is prepared to snuggle, I have blankets, a heating pad, an amber scented candle, and ginger pear tea. I am going to shut off my phone for an hour and read.

A friend of mine overnighted me this book when I told her my doctor recommended it to me. It must be what some of y'all are referring to on Sunday nights?
I do not enjoy this season and I'm trying make it more palatable with tea, books, dog snuggles, and the heating pad. My doctor thought it would be perfect.
Grateful for good friends!
pickA minor ode to cake. For a book about happiness, it makes you happy to just sit and read (or even better, listen to). The author is a delight to listen to as he reads his own words, especially when he talks about cake. My only complaint is that it ended too soon. 🎂🍰🧁🥮🧡🧡

The section about lighting is the literary version of my current search for a new bedside lamp. (How dare my old one die!)

Well, that‘s a thought experiment.

Sure. Sure. I‘m sure we were all thinking it. He just said it out loud.

Excuse me? I‘m going to need more information. I understand what these words mean individually, but this sentence just isn‘t computing for me.

I‘m sorry. I don‘t understand this concept. I‘m 38, almost 39, and I am still not convinced my parents even “like” me. I‘m pretty sure “love” is more a sense of obligation. That usually comes just before the words “I need you or I‘ll have to go into a home.”

I think I need this now. Just one of those days.

pickI loved this book. I‘ll be making glogg this weekend to enjoy with friends while hunting for a Christmas tree in its honor.
pickAlright #hygge hour Littens, I see you! I had a vague understanding of Hygge from my use of the Calm app and mindfulness practice. I wanted to learn more about it, so I added this book to my Libby wishlist. Thanks to your recent posts, I finally read and very much enjoyed this little book. Now I understand what you all are doing! Great idea!! 😅

pickA lovely little guide to finding joy in every day.
I really quite loved this. I have dealt with depression for most of my life, and this was a welcome little reminder that there is happiness to be found in simple, everyday things. It‘s time with your family, it‘s that extra treat, it‘s surrounding yourself with softness and light and warmth. I‘m going to go spend some time with my nibling tomorrow. 💖 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Cozy game, cozy blanket, and cozy book. 💖

Found “hygge” in NYC today- What a pleasant surprise! #midwintersolace #naturalitsy #hygge What a yummy bakery!
It‘s that time of year. ☕️🧦🔥
Nice tips from NPR:

pickMy friend gave me this book as a gift knowing that I struggle to get through the cold, rainy, dark winter months in the Netherlands. I like that this book itself creates a cozy atmosphere if you put your mind into it. It likens certain terms such as the Dutch "gezellig" to hygge and organized the sections very nicely to include all parts of the term. Definitely helped me get through winter!
bailedI tried so hard. I wanted so bad to read this book and enjoyably learn something. But I couldn‘t. I think the whole concept of hygge is great. Do I need a book going in depth of it? Noooooo.
pickI'm going to try to get back into the habit of posting book reviews instead of just marking books as “read“! A very cute little book. I learned a lot about Danish culture/values and I loved the illustrations. My only gripe is that there weren't any creative ideas for cultivating hygge; most of the things mentioned I do already.
so-soInformative and a comfortable read. 💜
pickI realized last month that the only way I'm going to reach my reading goal for the year is with the help of audiobooks so here's the first of many audio reviews. Hygge (pronounced hyoo-gah) is a Danish concept of finding comfort and joy in simple things. I loved the insight into Danish culture and found the author's voice to be soothing and a huge help with the pronunciation. This was a cute, cozy, quick read that I could see myself revisiting 😌

Hi 👋
I'm so very excited to start off our very 1st #Midwintersolace event. The aim is to spend the next 20 days in the run-up to solstice in good company, relaxing, connecting & having fun. I'm so thrilled you've joined me & can't wait to get to know you all better.
Please leave a little introduction to yourself below, including how you feel about the holiday season, be honest. This is a space for warmth & support. ❤️❄️🎄⭐️😊☕️❤️
Scarves are very hygge. This cozy blanket scarf has been my go-to lately. Shown with tagged book.

pickEnjoyed #audiogardening this morning 🌻 Just finished up for the day 🌱The book has a nice steady pace, perfect for the kind of methodical work I associate with hygge 🌿 planted rosemary, thyme, basil, and chamomile 🌸

I much preferred the audio than I think I would have with the physical copy (almost bought it last Fall). I found it to be both informative & cute all at once. I loved it♥️♥️
pickA lovely warm hug in a book. So nice to relax to while snuggled under blankets 🥰
Bailing on this one. Not sure why but it really just isn‘t flowing for me.
So there is a word for this?!!!
To start this afternoon…what else is there to do in super hot weather?
panI thought this would be the perfect cozy read for January, and I was disappointed! This book felt like all filler. It was lots of predictable yet unrealistic lists. Yes, I know candles and tea create good atmosphere. No, I cannot take a trip to Copenhagen right now. I read Wintering by Katherine May last January and this did not compare!
pickThe book started out interesting, then started getting repetitive. It could have been much shorter. But I was happy to learn more about hygge. I like the concept and the book inspired me to light more candles. 😊
