Moomins and the Great Flood | Tove Jansson

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!

Moominland Midwinter | Tove Jansson

I‘m currently reading A Tuscan Childhood.

Cinfhen What was the Red Room about?!!? 1y

AnneCecilie @Cinfhen Good question. It‘s a crime/ thriller. I read 40p so probably just the “intro” to the book. A therapist is asked in by the police to assess a man who‘s been seen lurking around a playground and as she leaves the room she‘s attacked by him. Then a poor woman is found dead near Regent‘s Canal. This is supposed to be most alike their Frieda Klein series. I just didn‘t feel like reading this now. 1y

Cinfhen It actually sounds good but I‘m all about if it‘s not grabbing you than put it down and move on! #AllHailTheBail 😊 1y

AnneCecilie @Cinfhen I know. I had actually planned to read something else last week, but then I saw that this book was due back at the library soon and I couldn‘t extend the loan any longer so I “had” to read it. I guess that‘s not a good way to start a book. 1y

The 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.

Moominland Midwinter | Tove Jansson

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 ❄️⛄❄️

Moominvalley in November | Tove Jansson

pick

Late November, several of the moomin family‘s friends, Snirfkin, the Hemulen and Fillyfjonk, decide to visit them. Only finding the moomin family not at home, but their friends decide to stay.

This is an old library copy with the old library card for borrowing in the back. It was first borrowed in 1972.

Andrew65 This brings back memories. 🎄🎄🎄 1y

AnneCecilie @Andrew65 For me too. I watched the cartoons in the 90s. But it was a little weird reading a moomin book without the moomins. This was also the first moomin book I read by Jansson. 1y

Librarybelle Oh! I love finding old library cards in books! 1y

Andrew65 @AnneCecilie I have a vague memory of picture books but would need to research to make sure I didn‘t make that up. Remember the cartoons well. 1y

Libby1 I just read this book last week too! One thing I read compared it to Waiting for Godot in Moominvalley. 1y

BookmarkTavern Old library books are the best! 1y

The Exploits of Moominpappa | Tove Jansson

Hello, Littens!

Have a great day.

I‘m starting mine with The Exploits of Moominpappa before work.

How about you?

Bookwomble I started with two cheese on crumpets, scrolling Litsy and reading about the new Tolkien book due in November. It's a bank holiday in England, so having a slow start to the day 😌 2y

Libby1 Hi, @Bookwomble ! It‘s a bank holiday here in Northern Ireland as well, but I‘m working. Next stop Waterstones! I‘ll try not to buy anything today. 🙄 2y
