#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

Train reading! Starting the next Tove Johansson: Fair Play. The first two in the Author Spotlight, organized and hosted by Sarah @HardcoverHearts were great reads, so my hopes are up for this third one.

The True Deceiver was the second book we read in the Tove Jansson Author Spotlight Series, which are group reads, organized and hosted by Sarah @HardcoverHearts .
Again an amazing novel, this one set during a dark winter in Scandinavia. Who is the true deceiver among the small village people? It ends with a satisfying answer.

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

A very enjoyable read with memorable characters. Written in short vignettes, it is easy to pick up for short reading sessions. 🇫🇮

Lovely.
An island, a grandmother, granddaughter, loss and love.

The Summer Book was the first book we read this month for the Tove Jansson Author Spotlight.

This is a unique story about the relationship of a grandmother and her granddaughter Sophia, set on a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland during a warm summer.

Told in beautiful prose, it deals with life and death, old and young, nature, resilience and loss.
A great first meeting with Jansson!
