Harry is likable & relatable character. He went through pretty tough things in this book and I felt for him. I liked secondary characters too.

This wasn't really fast-pacing but interesting enough. The past storyline was first a bit confusing before I understood how it was connected to the present storyline.

I loved humor in this book, it was a bit dry.

#DaysDevotedTo Day 8: #CoffeeTea with a Norwegian novel while I was in Bodo Norway early this year. This is part of the free “fika” offered by the hotel between 3-5 pm and- said to be a big part of Scandinavian culture. Reminded me of our merienda - byproduct of Spanish colonization.

Leniverse Fika is specifically Swedish, but it's basically the same thing in Norway only we call it "kaffekos" (yes, even if you don't drink coffee). 2w

Pastel on canvas,from exhibit at the MOMA(2013)My son & his elementary school cases manager used to squeeze their cheeks & open their mouths wide in imitation of this painting. So we picked up the behavior at home & ran with it. 😂

I have yet to finish his Septology series , my reading brain is finding it hard to finish anything so took in this slim volume. I liked it the first grouping is very much like what stands out in a child‘s memory. A middle section about a dog is fantastical tw below. The 3rd segment about a boy & girl 4 & 3 how they get in trouble, much from the point of view of the 4 year old brother. Powerful descriptions.
