pick❄️ Welcome to my new obsession. ❄️
First, some backstory. Depending on how long we‘ve been Litsy friends, you may or may not know that I had a little house rabbit for 12 years. Her name was Moxie. A common nickname for her was “Moomin.” Understandably then, I‘ve been meaning to read a Moomin book for a long time! 👇🏻
The movie is premiering in Finland. https://youtu.be/Wzn7SAIXBkA?si=919qJHAFTR6L03xk

panThis cookbook was a dud. The recipes aren‘t very interesting and it desperately needs an editor because there are typos galore. No bueno. 2⭐️ 50 points

pickFor #foodandlit this month I chose Evil Things, the 1st book in the Hella Mauzer crime series. It is set in 1952 Finland & Hella is a police officer sent to an isolated town on a missing persons case which turns into a murder case with Soviet spies & government coverups. Hella herself is very flawed, & although this book is rather dark & depressing at times, I enjoyed it & it had a satisfactory ending. 4⭐️ #Finland 🇫🇮

I enjoyed this dystopian crime novel about a man searching for his wife in Helsinki. In the days before Christmas the world is falling apart, climate change is a done deal, and the police don‘t have the resources to look for a missing woman. A quick read, perfect for holiday reading when you don‘t want to think too hard.
“Here come the dumb,
The lonely and the rum,
The wild and the quiet,
Thud goes the drum.”
Thud, thud, thud goes my Moomin-lovin‘ heart. 2w
