Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve felt sort of scattered and dissatisfied lately; I think those feelings have transferred to my reading life, too.

For the second month in a row, I read more than I typically do. But the vibe is off. 🙈

I did read two books I absolutely adored: Moominland Midwinter and Giving Up the Ghost. I hope that same passionate energy guides me and focuses me in March.

I‘m still reading the last two. But I‘ll be done before the clock strikes noon!

After the events in book 1, Hella returns to 1950's Helsinki, having been kicked out of the police and working as a private investigator. When she is asked to look into the murder of a sex worker, she quickly clashes with two police officers who were involved in her dismissal. A very enjoyable crime novel set in 50's Finland, which alternated chapters from hella and one of the officers. Will read book 3 soon.

❄️ 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

3✨ I wasn‘t completely engaged to this story, but enjoyed the relationship between grandmother and granddaughter. Read for #FoodandLit 2024 Finland

It is 5 minutes to midnight and I finally found my Moomin books I wanted to read for #Finland #foodandlit. Well…

I 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 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

This 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
