repost for @AllDebooks
We have 2 titles to choose from for our #MidsummerSolace #buddyread
These are intended to be very relaxed, read at your own pace.
Poppy Okotcha's memoir: this title is not available in the US until the end of June. I'm happy to continue the #buddyread into July and August, if you want to join in.
Alternatively, we have Tove Jansson's novel. All are welcome to join us.
💙Chinese. The logograms in their writing system are fascinating.
💙💙I haven't read The Unknown Soldier by Väinö Linna in English or in Finnish. It's hard to find it in translation (it's out of print), and my Finnish is nowhere near good enough! But I long for the day that I can do it, and I'm back to practicing my Finnish!

pickFishing for the Little Pike, by Juhani Karila (2019, transl. 2023)
Premise: A woman returns home to Lapland on an annual pilgrimage to catch a pike in order to stave off the effects of a curse, but is thwarted by an assortment of creatures from nature and folklore.
Review: Sitting on cusp between fantasy and magical realism, this dumps you off into the deep end in a strange and uncanny northern world. Cont.

#MidsummerSolace #buddyread 2nd choice is Tove Jansson's 1972 novel.
The non-fiction choice is unavailable in US until late June. So, with that in mind, I will run a relaxed fiction (tagged) and non-fiction (A Wilder Way) #buddyread
for those wishing to participate.
All welcome. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

The longest short novel I have ever read. And it snowed the whole time.
