pickI really liked this - the juxtaposition of the 2 MCs journeys was well done, though Aina is the only one who has much “growth” because Siiri‘s a stronger character & her goals revolve primarily around Aina. I knew one of the myths used from Scarlett St Clair‘s Fairytale Retellings, but I don‘t know how closely or not others were followed. It closes out this book very strongly so it could work as a stand-alone but there is a planned continuation.
Finally opening day for this #YuleSeasonSwap - thank you so much @forestandcrow I can‘t wait to start this!📚🕊️
Thanks for hosting @thebacklistbook 🎁
My favorite book of June was the magical The Summer Book, by Tove Jansson.
Thank you, @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit for hosting #MidsummerSolace . I would never have discovered this gem on my own.

Well, I see from a previous post that seven years ago when I bought this book, it was my intention to read it "soon"! Better late... ⏳?
pickAnother great installment! I read this in Matt Berry‘s voice, who is the voice actor for Moominpappa in the 2019 show. Moominpappa might not be the most truthful story teller (and a little full of himself) but he is good at it! Excited for Moominsummer Madness next ☀️
