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 ☀️
pickThe first Moomin book that came out for the first time 80yrs ago. I think it‘s interesting that the original title doesn‘t mention Moomins, but calls them tiny trolls. Apparently the publisher wanted people to know what they was
In this first story Moomin and his mom are on a journey to find a place to live before the winter and looking for dad. In their way they meet several different creatures and has quite the adventure in a 50p book
pickThe moomin display at B&N piqued my curiosity and I went ahead and grabbed some the Moomin series from the library. I read Moominland Midwinter to match the storm outside, but now I‘m following the order of the series. It‘s very charming, but the show Moominvalley (2019) really brought the characters to life for me. I enjoyed some of the 90s episodes too. I was really excited to learn Jansson was queer and that Moomin and Snufkin are queer-coded.
Reading at the beach on this slightly overcast and windy day. Nonetheless, it's so f***ing beautiful. 🌬⛱️🌊
