I saw it! Sleep eluded me last night so I went in search of comet Neowise. (Its 'hair' is suspiciously like Little My's, if you ask me.) Momentous things, comets. The last time I saw one was Hale-Bopp, when I was pregnant with Miss K.
"Well, I'm not a lion," said Sniff reproachfully. "I like small adventures. Just the right size.”
Just finished posting some Labour election campaign letters, so treating myself to my second slice of cake today! Plus a pot of Earl Grey, hot!

A Tove Jansson shelfie 💖📚💖 I'm running out of space, so had to move some other books off- shelf to fit the Jansson's in their rightful place.
It's surprisingly odd to pick up a book in your own language when you mostly read in English. But I had this sudden urge to reread this funny, wise little book today, even though I'm up to my neck with other unfinished books. Oh well.
But if I finish this one today, I have reached 65 books read on my Goodreads Challenge. Yay. I may celebrate it by.. adding more books to my TBR.
I know this creature is meant to be a fearsome lizard guarding a treasure but I just want to make it my friend. 💙🦎💙
Had not read the Moomin books before but a book-loving friend highly recommended them. The story for this first book is sweet and fun and loving - full of friends and family. Lots of very subtle humour as well.
I had to buy already something for #ValentinesBookExchange . It was screaming "Litsy" when I saw it in a store while shopping for books. I don't even have my secret person yet. I just have to hope that the person matches my perfect bookish find...
