so-soLoved the idea of this book, but didn‘t pull me in as much as I had hoped. Reminded me of The Bell Jar in some ways. A woman‘s story of losing her grip on reality.

Planning for a long weekend: 1 physical book, 4 audiobooks, and 10 books on my Kobo. Why does this not feel like enough?
You're right. I should probably add another small physical book. The tagged should work. And there are always bookstores.

pickThis was much more violent than the usual cozy mysteries we read for our work book club, but it wasn‘t bad. It‘s frigid here this weekend so good timing for reading about Greenland.
pickI adore Moomin so I couldn‘t resist grabbing this cookbook for #foodandlit this month. There are cute illustrations and some good recipes. Can‘t go wrong with Moomin! 4⭐️ 50 points 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

I made pyttipanna (or pyttipannu) using the Moomins cookbook 😁: it's fish, potatoes and onions fried together, and served with beetroot, gherkins and a fried egg. Easy comfort food!
(French readers will notice a spelling mistake on the page 🙄)

- A cheffy trilingual cookbook

pickA soft pick - I think I got this translated middle grade historical mystery as a Kindle freebie. I don‘t know how popular the series is in Sweden, but I think something gets lost in translation. The pacing is off and the prose is choppy. The ending is so abrupt. However, I liked the main characters and the setting. The main mystery leads to the discovery of other secrets that I‘m sure will be explored in future books.
This was such a cute middle grade mystery book!
I scored this off of Amazon-maybe a First Reads book? It was on my #ReadYourKindle list for this month and I inhaled this in two days.
It's Sweden, 1800's, winter and there's a serial killer on the streets. Orphan Mika and a policeman team up to solve the crime.
Definitely recommended!

2 Christmas books, a Kindle First Pick, and a romance book.
I'm starting the tagged book which is translated from Swedish and is a middle grade/J Fiction book. (My library calls them J Fiction so that's what I'm use to calling this grade level.)
