Hygge and Kisses
Hygge and Kisses | Clara Christensen
29 posts | 10 read | 15 to read
For readers everywhere who are embracing the Danish art of hygge the first warm, wise and romantic hygge novel! The perfect feel-good novel to curl up with - light some candles, wrap yourself in a blanket and relax ... Bo, 26, has always been careful, cautious. However, she's just been made redundant and her life plan is beginning to unravel. Before she starts immediately applying for other jobs in a panic, her friend Kirsten persuades her to take a holiday, to visit Kirsten's mother's house in Aslbrog, North Jutland, a part of Denmark Bo is ashamed to admit she has never heard of. 'What's the weather going to be like?' she asks Kirsten hopefully, scrolling her cursor over the budget airlines webpage. 'Terrible,' Kirsten replies, 'London is positively Mediterranean by comparison, and of course it's November so it'll be dark seventeen hours a day. But no one goes to Denmark to get a tan. You need a change of scene and to blow away the cobwebs, and trust me, Skagen will do that. Besides, the summerhouse is cosy whatever the weather, and you never know who else will be around.' A few clicks later and there is no going back. And Bo's life plan is about to be entirely rewritten.

This book wraps around you like a cozy blanket and makes you forget about the cold outside! After reading this book, I believe we all could do with a little more hygge in our lives!

Summary: This is an amazing book. It teaches a lot about life, and that will be twists and turns. Life won't always give us what we want, and that is ok. That means that life has something else in mind for us. It is a romance book about how hard life can he. The main characters develop and show how cruel this world can be.

Christmas is coming soon. So many of you have already mailed out your packages.
I think all the kinks have been worked out of the #JolabokaflodSwap . Comment below ONLY if you still have an issue I haven't addressed yet. I'm finally back on top of things (I hope). Hygge and Kisses everyone!

Graciouswarriorprincess Thank you for everything! 5y
Aims42 Thank you for organizing this fun swap!! 5y
Heretherebedragons Thank you for doing all of this @MaleficentBookDragon! I haven‘t yet been tagged by my match yet, but I don‘t know if it‘s too early to worry or not? 5y

Come-read-with-me @MaleficentBookDragon Help!!! I‘ve lost the email with my swap partner‘s address!!! I saw it earlier today but now can‘t find it 🤭Would you please resend it to me? Paula.horner.phd@gmail.com 5y
Gissy I'm still waiting because I had trouble to access the wish list and I couldn't have response on this on time. I contacted my match directly but books in the list given are not available at my local bookstores so I ordered the book on line but I don't know if it will arrive on time so I'm planning to send something else and probably send another package when the book arrived. 5y
MaleficentBookDragon @Come-read-with-me I just resent the PDF to you. 5y
MaleficentBookDragon @Gissy that is fine. I'm sorry you're having trouble with this swap. 5y
Gissy @MaleficentBookDragon When? I haven't received anything yet. My match kindly provided me some titles but none of the books she mentioned, almost 10, are available in any of the two bookstores I have around me. The third bookstore sell almost everything in Spanish located in SJ. I guess those titles are not popular here😳Let see what I can do. The book I ordered can arrive on the 27th or before maybe. I have a person helping me in this. 5y
Gissy @MaleficentBookDragon This is the first time it occurs to me. I think is the season and I contacted her too late. 5y
Come-read-with-me @MaleficentBookDragon Thank you so much! I just saw it 👍🏻 5y
InBooksILive @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled hey I sent you an email! I'd like to send out your package today, just wanted to make sure your address was correct since it got cut off in the email. 5y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @InBooksILive Emailed you back - and thank you! Complete zip is 70769. Thanks again! 5y

I enjoyed this story (it made me nostalgic for Denmark!), But I didn't love how hard Bo was on herself. Overall a pretty fun read though

Bo Hazlehurst is only twenty-six but she's feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders. When we first meet her it's through her inner dialogue, as she ponders an article she recently read about the 'quarter-life crisis.'

Hygge and Kisses is a cute book, relatable to the Millennial Generation's experience.

I'm very happy with my #hyggebookswap gifts from @Lizpixie ! These are well worth the wait, Liz! The Dry is on my wish list. I've been meaning to get my hands on the Phryne Fisher books since I liked the tv series. I've read and loved the Nicola Upson book, but I'm glad I own a physical copy now. The mini Jane Austen is adorable! And I love everything else - tote, mug (my first bookish mug would you believe it!), mini candle, keychain & bookmarks.

erzascarletbookgasm Thanks for organising this @Tiffy_Reads . #letsgethygge #letshyggeswap (edited) 7y
erzascarletbookgasm @Lizpixie you did well! Thanks so much for putting so much thought into this. 💕🤗 7y
eanderson That's awesome!!! The Dry is good! 7y
Lizpixie I'm so happy that you like it, and it all got there in one piece! I was so worried that the mug would be broken. Enjoy lovely. I didn't know that you'd already read the Nicola Upson, I'm reading Bk3 in the series at the moment. Have you read the rest? If not, maybe there will be more Upson in your future, penpal!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7y

OMG! @Sarah83 , you are such a sweetheart!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Everyone, look what she sent me! My #hyggebookswap package had been delayed by customs so Sarah sent me all of this 'to tide me over'. I'm so touched right now by her generous kindness. And she even included a little booklet for my son. You are amazing, girl! Thank you so very much! I really don't deserve this. 😍😍😘

Sarah83 Nobody should be without her parcel. 😉 Hope you like everything and your son doesn't already have the pixie book. 🤗 7y

I'm sitting here thinking that I can't open my #letshyggeswap package until the 22nd, then I see everyone opening theirs today!🤦🏻‍♀️ Guess I'm an idiot. About to open these sweet presents from @erzascarletbookgasm Has yours got to you yet Jessie? The post office promised it would get there by today. #letsdothis #hyggehyggehygge

alisiakae I originally thought it was the 22nd, too! 7y
erzascarletbookgasm I haven't received mine, Liz. I'm feeling a little left out looking and admiring everyone's gifts..but fear not, I'm sure it will be here very soon! 7y
Lizpixie @erzascarletbookgasm they promised me at the post office it would be there on time! I'm so sorry, Auspost is useless. I'm planning my first penpal gift and I promise I'll make it up to you. I really really hope it gets there soon and it's worth the wait. I'm going to go sit in the naughty corner for awhile.😞 7y
erzascarletbookgasm Nah, don't be hard on yourself, Liz, not your fault. I have my suspicions on our local postal services, they are not the most efficient 😏. 7y

Oh, @Sarah83 you really out did yourself. I had to stand on a chair to fit everything in. 😂. I love the little cat socks, another pair in the set have yarn balls all over them. 💗. The books really reflect my interests. Meditation and horror in equal measure. Thich Nhat Hahn has been on my tbr list for a while. I love the notebook. The penguin really gets me. #letshyggeswap

Sarah83 Glad you like everything. 🤗 I didn't have a look at your parcel this morning, because I was quite too late for work. I will have a look as soon as I get home. 😍 7y
Tamra Those socks! 😻 7y
Sarah83 You also saw the candle light within the glass? 7y
Yellowpigeon @Sarah83 I did!!! So cute!! I was stuck in the worst traffic this morning and wasn't able to respond till now. 7y
Sarah83 Didn't see it on the picture so I hoped you see it. I wanted you to get a chandle, but I wasn't sure, if I could send it to you (I thought of surprising eggs), so I chose this idea. Traffic is always very bad. 😖 7y

Laalaleighh @ScorpioBookDreams yessssss. Not right now Bc Im not in the right headspace/stress level to do a really great job at the moment but maybe in November once the world's longest onslaught of medical tests is over?

Yellowpigeon @Sarah83, nope scouts honor! And look at that ferocious face (we hadn't fed him second dinner yet) 😹 I asked my husband this morning. He said the package was intact but the delivery man was holding it with two hands so the weight wouldn't tear a hole in the box. So we're good. ❤️💛 this is the second box that got ruined from rain.

Mehso-so

I received an ARC preview for this book.

The title and cover of the book drew me, but then I was disappointed when I started reading. I couldn't connect to the heroine and wasn't drawn into the story. I didn't feel the Hygge.

I did not like the writing style: too many repetitions, too many sentences following the same pattern - and I seriously hope the grammar mistakes will be ironed out by the copy editing.

I will probably not get the book.
