Moominland Midwinter | Tove Jansson

I didn‘t count these in my midyear ratings because they feel incomparable. But I‘m deeply in love and so glad I finally checked them out! They‘ll be in the upper echelon of my 2025 favorites, for sure.

CBee What order did you read them in? I found an article that actually says reading them out of order is best. I can‘t seem to find The Great Flood though 🤷‍♀️😔 2d
monalyisha @CBee I haven‘t read them all but I started with Midwinter! 2d
monalyisha @CBee If, in my reading, I come to feel as though I‘ve made a grave misstep, I‘ll let you know. 😅 2d

CBee @monalyisha sounds good! I started with Moominsummer Madness. Here‘s the article I mentioned: https://www.fatherly.com/entertainment/moomin-books-reading-order 2d
willaful @CBee I've never seen that one either.

IIRC, the chronology is kind of odd. I started with Midwinter too and it was a great choice for me as a child

shanaqui I think I remember just reading Moominland Midwinter when I was a kid, you tempt me to get all of them and read them all! 2d
CBee @willaful it‘s much harder to find than the others! 🤷‍♀️ 2d
quietlycuriouskate I have so much love for these books! 🥰 1d

Doing much better now. 🤍

If I hadn‘t left
you when I did, I‘d still be lost —
alone in the snow.

As I'm reading all this illustrator's work we have in our library, I'm just in awe of the art and the detail put into this book. With very few words, the picture really tells the story in this book. It's basically what happens outside your home while you sleep in the winter. Just beautiful.

5⭐️ this is not your typical Neil Gaiman and read. But that doesn‘t take away from this at all. This is super short, and the thought put behind writing this poem is just as beautiful as the poem was itself. If you have five minutes, pick up this book. I checked it out for free on hoopla.

May Pick is Dead of Winter
It won it's spot by default because most of my reads this month were romance, DNFs or just OK. I did like Dead of Winter. It was a very Agatha Christie style murder mystery in the snow but I was able to guess the killer pretty early in the book so I wish it had more mystery.

Throwback to last night, when I fried up some leftovers to go with another chunk of WINTER. I loathe winter, fully and completely, but these essays are fascinating. Adam Gopnik delves into how and why people engage positively with winter, with a hefty emphasis on how many of those who romanticize it are winter tourists who have the option to leave it when it gets a bit rough, or people who equate suffering with virtue.

2✨ Okay, my four year old is telling me that she liked how they shared the orange in the end, but from tree to store did not win her over. I liked the farm to table knowledge a kid can gain from this picture book while the writing was simple, yet poetic. I would give it a 3✨
