pickThis was my #FoodAndLit pick for #Finland
I liked the way the story was set out, where you learn more about Trolls as the story progresses, through snippets of stories, web searches, a vet, and as Angel discovers things by living with a troll he rescued by his apartment block.
The characters are all awful by the way 😂 but I still enjoyed the read!

pickMy Finland reading list for #foodandlit!
As usual, I enjoyed Paasilinna. Although this book is not my favourite, I got really emotional with the Christmas themed ending. The story is about a recently deceased man who learns how to be a ghost in the afterlife.👻
The Xenophobe's guide to Finland was a quick and fun read about some of the cultural particularities that are unique to this country.

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 🙄)

pickI devoured this book, remaining riveted to every page. It was such an engaging read that I‘m rating it highly despite mixed feelings over the ending.
I read the description of this before the English translation released and it haunted me until I hunted down a copy. I started it last night, trying to decide if I wanted to read this or the next Charlie Fox thriller… and didn‘t look up until I was a quarter of the way through.
pickWhat an amazing story and the illustrations were wonderful.

#SchoolSpirit Day 14: Only six days after our #Homecoming from Paris - now traveling again in a few hours to Moominland. Naturally, I brought these books with me.
