Moominland Midwinter | Tove Jansson

Taking this last opportunity to post for #foodandlit #Finland in these last hours of December 31st.
I visited Helsinki for a week this November/December and had some very lovely local food (and lots of Glögi 😇) there.
Also bought loads of Moomin books and merchandise 😊

#MidwinterSolace @LitSolace

My #FridayNightShare week 3 selection for Solstice/Equinox is a childhood favourite (tagged). My non-fiction selection is this incredible memoir and ode to nature by Kerri ní Dochartaigh, starting a few days before midwinter solstice and the following year.

Moomins Cookbook: An Introduction to Finnish Cuisine | Tove Jansson, Sami Malila

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 🙄)

LiseWorks I'm sorry but fish and eggs shouldn't go together lol 3w

Kitta Shouldn‘t it be legumes? Not legume I‘m trying to learn French! 3w

Dilara @LiseWorks LOL I was more worried about the fried egg and pickle combo! (but it was fine 😁) 3w

Dilara @Kitta That's right. It should be “légumes“, to agree with “aux“ which is a plural article 😁 (edited) 3w

Kitta @Dilara 😀 I got it right!! 3w

Adventures_of_a_French_Reader @Dilara J'ai le même livre à la maison ;) Il contient des recettes sympas. 3w

Dilara @Adventures_of_a_French_Reader Avant que je rende le livre à la bibliothèque, tu as des recettes à me recommander ? 😁 3w

Adventures_of_a_French_Reader @Dilara perso, j'aime bien l'omelette aux oignons, les spaghetti bien poivrés et le gâteau aux épices (je l'ai fait sans airelles et il était très bon). Tu peux prendre des photos des recettes que tu veux tester aussi ;) 3w

Dilara @Adventures_of_a_French_Reader Merci ! Je poste une photo et je te tague si je me lance 😁 3w

The tagged, along with several others.
❄️❄️❄️
There are also several 'Petterson and Findus' ones by Sven Nordqvist that are set in winter and give strong holiday vibes (at least three I can think of)...
Then of course The Shining and Misery by Stephen King and
The Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena.
❄️❄️❄️

BookmarkTavern Excellent picks! Thanks for posting! 4w

Comet in Moominland (Farrar Straus Giroux) | Tove Jansson, Jansson

pick

Take a shot everytime Moomintroll says 'Strike me Pink!'...😆
So many adventures! I admit to being slightly baffled by my library's choices about this series, the first in hardcover, the next only available as an audiobook, but maybe it was a licensing/price thing. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? While I think part of the Moomintroll series appeal is supposed to be the art, I'll give kudos to the English narrator for an entertaining array of voices providing its own 'colour' for this audiobook. That being said, the Silken Monkey was a little grating. 😬 8mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/? I guess this also went from being a picture book series to middle grade novellas, because the first was 50 pages and this was nearly 200? I'm not actually sure my library has the full set, but I'd be happy to pick up another as a palate cleanser. 8mo

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 I thought there was going to be a bit of nonsense about gender norms associated with its mid '40s initial release, but on balance I'd say the Snorkmaiden rose above any notions of shallow, empty-headed materiality when in a crisis, and the rest is just young and old people (especially your own siblings) saying crap about girls even the young reader knows isn't true. (edited) 8mo

Bookwomble Tove Jansson didn't follow gender norms in her life, nor in her writing 😊🏳️‍🌈 8mo

Robotswithpersonality @bookwomble Queer pioneer! ☺️ Based on the bit of poking around I've done so far, it sounds like her bio would be a great read. 8mo

Bookwomble @Robotswithpersonality She was 😊 I've had the tagged biography for eight years, as well as a volume of her letters, neither of which I've read yet! 😳 Hopefully, I'll get to at least one of them before too long 😏

Tove Jansson: Work and Love

8mo

Robotswithpersonality @Bookwomble Bio stacked! I admittedly have a much better track record with memoirs than full on biographies, but knowing it's under 300 pages makes it more likely I'll read it! 😅 (edited) 8mo
