In may, #Greenland's ice melted 17 (17!) times faster than average, with temperatures up to 13°C higher than usual, which poses all sorts of challenges for the environment, sanitation, health, people's livelihoods, etc.

I made Kalaallit Kaagiat, a raisin and cardamom bread, using the automatic translation of this page: https://mamarisavut.gl/da/opskrifter/groenlandsk-kage-med-aeggepulver/ The English recipes I found online were a lot sweeter, which didn't appeal as much. It was like a slightly cardamom-scented pannetone & perfect with coffee.

Police Constable just completed her training when she lands a missing person‘s case. She travels far north to investigate, where she is immersed in the beauty of the land & its people. I enjoyed this short novella & want to read more of this author‘s work.

Since I‘m reading this book for #foodandlit I feel obligated to describe what these starving men had to do and eat as they trekked across part of #Greenland. I picked this one because I liked the analogy of the “snowball on the fires of hell.” @Catsandbooks

I enjoyed this novella set in Greenland. It‘s the prequel to a series of mysteries set in the country by a Danish author so I want to try and seek out more if I can find them in English. This is actually the second or third mystery I‘ve read set in Greenland and for whatever reason they work for me. #FoodAndLit #Greenland

This was my pick for #FoodAndLit #Greenland.

It follows newly trained Constable Petra Jensen (who is apparently a character seen in some of the other novels by this author) searching for a boy who has been missing for 12 months.

It features an interesting cast of characters, set in remote Greenland. I felt this ended quickly, but it is a novella! There was closure, but because I feel like it needed something a bit more, it‘s a lower pick for me.

This writer will break your heart. Beautiful humans with gutwrenching decisions to make. The despair is palpable. The trilogy follows a Bangladeshi family from the 1970s Revolution and separation of Pakistan to today. The granddaughter, a paleontologist, is incredibly independent but is still tied to tradition. Anam has brilliantly conceived an allegory of a precursor to today's whale to the connections of family stories. PLEASE SOMEONE READ THIS!

This is a huge coffee-table book about Malaurie's stays in various places in the Arctic, from #Greenland to Canada to Alaska and finally, to Chukotka, from the late 40s to the 90s. His outlook can be a bit dated sometimes, but his love for the people and the friends he made there over the years is obvious.

Started this one for #FoodAndLit #Greenland this morning (after much deliberation about what to read).

These are my two reading buddies. Ash is 6 now, and Pippin is nearly 11 weeks. This is as close as they have gotten so far and it lasted about 30 seconds!
Ash is so fed up in fact that some mornings he sits on the stairs so she can‘t go near him 🤣
I am sure they will be friends in no time!

Maybe then I can get some SOLID reading done 🤭
