Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed reading about lagom as much as reading about hygge. This book gave me some insights into the Swedish culture. The author covered all aspects of life in this book to which I appreciated a lot. Another book completed during #FabulousFebruary.

Headed inside & switched to a cozier read.

Please excuse me while I move to Sweden 🇸🇪😄

#24in48 #hour18challenge This is the only book on my nightstand, primarily because most of my books are on my Kindle, but also because I keep essential oils and a diffuser there also, and with a cement floor I don‘t want to accidentally drop and break any of them on my floor. I like to read a few pages from this book from time to time - helps me connect with my Swedish roots 😊

Felt very underwhelmed by this selection of things to do if you're privileged and live in a society that holds value for all of the things mentioned.

I‘m just over here trying to live my best life... ☕️📚🤞🏻

I did the audiobook version. It‘s only four hours. Lagom is like being a Libra...everything in balance. Good enough to borrow, but not worth buying. After last year‘s hygge trend, all of this book‘s info is familiar. I‘m sure the print version would be more interesting, but still better to borrow unless you are obsessed with the Swedish lifestyle.

There‘s a theme going on here🤔.

Perfect read for cold Sunday morning. It's a very pretty book with beautiful pictures. It's a #readmyshelves2018 #MountTBR #MountBlanc book I will be keeping.

A special place discovered, treasured, returned to for solace and relaxation; a personal idyll free from stress or sadness."

Tips on How To Enter the Ocean when it's freezing cold in Sweden? Umm No. I'm a Pagosa Hot Springs Kind of Gal. ❄❄❄

I‘ve been reading the Danish hygge books because it‘s a big percentage of my heritage. But I wanted to get a sense of what other countries value. This book discusses living well with minimalism and mindfulness and tips on respecting nature, being involved in community, saving energy, celebrating holidays, and parenting. Lovely photos and even a few recipes are tucked into all the tips of living with “not too much and not too little.”

Not sure what the Swedes would make of binging for 24 hours in a 48 hour period on reading, but I suspect from the subtitle “(Not Too Little, Not Too Much)” it may not be advisable... 🤣. Coming down the home stretch of this readathon!

Can‘t wait to start this one!💙💙💙💙

#TBRtemptation post 9! Just released. Now that you may be all hygged out, lol, see what the Swedes have to offer. Lagom means "not too little, not too much, just right". Juggling priorities, reducing stress, eating well, saving money, enjoying downtime, and coffee-break culture, going green, staying clean and orderly, etc., are all explored. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
