Finally enjoying some lovely porch time with my new patio furniture, cinnamon tea, and the tagged book (which I‘ve meaning to finish forever).

Ahh 😌 I seem to have shifted out of my reading-stuckness thanks to an application of Holmes and Moomintroll 😊
I'm up to The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton, which is an excellent story, but really doesn't show Holmes in a good light: it's one of those few where his actions and omissions are morally dubious, regardless of the iniquity of the villain.
Jansson's The Invisible Child is a wonderful child-appropriate exploration of the ⬇️

I've had an amazing birthday weekend. Now I'm sitting in the sun looking at my gorgeous presents.
Off to see Indiana Jones with my kiddos this evening.
Ending the celebrations with a moth trap tonight to see what we have in our garden.

Picked up my interlibrary loan today. I love Tove Jansson‘s Moomin imagery and have been wanting to read the books for years. Last week I thought, “Duh. Use your library!” This is the first book in the series, originally published in Finland in 1945. It looks beautiful and I can‘t wait to start reading!

pickThis was sent to me by a #BookCrossing friend. I'd not been familiar with the Moomin stories before, and I found these two stories charming and the illustrations delightful!

I‘ve finished The Sentence and The Christmas Chronicles.
I DNFed The Red Room
I read Moominland Midwinter and Bambi
I‘m currently reading A Tuscan Childhood.
pickThe Moomins are asleep, when suddenly the Moomintroll wakes up. He will experience the winter for first, what the others are doing when the Moomins are asleep, and most importantly he will experience snow and learn that it fall from the sky.

Finish The Christmas Chronicles
I‘ve just started A Tuscan Childhood and want to continue that
I want to finish The Sentence, read both The Red Room and the tagged, and hopefully get a start on Bambi.
Although it has been snowing, it rarely sticks in our neck of the woods, but does have a tendency to freeze on the pavement as sheets of ice. Seems like Moomintroll's adventures in the winter snow will be a good choice of next read ❄️⛄❄️
