Since Helsinki is all about pride this week, including the library, I realized I read very rarely LGBT books, and have a hard time thinking of which protagonist I‘ve lately read who‘d belong to the aforementioned group. I know I‘ve read several, just can‘t remember. Suggestions?

Time to get back to this series! And I get to enjoy the first wild strawberries from my own garden.

Looking into books I need to order from 🇬🇧 because I can‘t get them here. @EadieB @Andrew65 remember when I checked all the Folletts at the library and bought the ones they didn‘t have? Well, it happened again... after I rechecked 3/4 have “disappeared”. So, now I‘m online buying again, because our next read is suddenly not in the library. Any other books/authors I should look into that we are meant to read?

I believe we will have a buddy read soon on LT?! This pic is somehow both beautiful and creepy.

Enjoying it! #MaeveBinchyBuddyRead

Can‘t wait to read this one! I love Maeve Kerrigan ❤️

I really enjoyed the tagged book, but did not care for Home Front. Any suggestions which one I should read next?

On to the next Bryson!

Look how beautiful the Finnish forest reindeer is! 🥰 Trying to make a diplomat out of my dog as well, so it‘s important to read this book!

Finished Betrayed, almost done with A Walk in the Woods, and next up is the tagged one! Happy days!

The most Finnish place - sauna! I love it! The best place for me to think, and so relaxing 🥰 It‘s great to take short brakes and read in between before going back into the heat!

Really enjoying this book! Summer in the woods is perfect! Many great quotes to use, and Bryson can really describe characters.

I‘ve tried to read Wild twice. I just didn‘t like it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Unpopular opinion, I know. Maybe this one will work for me!

Great place and weather to read! I can‘t count al the birds I hear singing. Halfway through the book, which is lighthearted and funny. TBH, didn‘t know much about her.

Can‘t get better than this! What are you reading this week?

1 week, 1 woman and these books! Here‘s to being in the middle of the national park and I have time to read! 🥂

Not my fave book, but this stings, because the book is set in Tudor Times, but it pretty much as accurate now ☹️ Not only London, or the 🇬🇧

Would you be interested in reading this one and can you get hold of it?

This is the “It‘s Friday, I‘m off, it‘s too hot to do much else than read” picture! Enjoying this fast-paced book set in Scotland in the 18th century.

Loved the tagged book almost as much I love this pic!

Beautiful morning in Tallinn, Estonia! Hot!

This is somehow so sweet! #readingtheworld #stkittsandnevis

A Finnish hockey player read this book during the world championships, and the book is now out of print in Finland. Every single library has a long queue... 😁 Has anyone of you Littens read it?

Excited to read this one! I‘ve only heard good things 🙂

I was delighted to read this uplifting book filled with hope. Naturally it wasn‘t easy to be a Jew, but Lale was both lucky and smart, plus head over heals in love... He failed (or others failed him) over and over, but he never gave up. I want to believe this is why some people hate Jews. You can try to take them down, destroy them, but they get back up and make better comebacks each time. The book was probably a bit too lighthearted. 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started reading the second book in the series. Let‘s see what Bruno has been up to. Black magic?

🦍 ❤️

For once it was quiet at the library. It was so much easier to get the 4th book in the Maeve Kerrigan series than the 3rd one.

#readingtheworld #Russia It‘s so short that it feels like a chapter from some of the other Russian classics 😂

I enjoyed the third book in the series, although not as much as the two previous books. I thoroughly enjoy Casey‘s style, because she writes about police work in more detail than others. I often feel like authors leave out important details, but Casey doesn‘t. In the beginning of the book it worked against her though, because it went a bit too much into detail. I‘m really getting to like Maeve Kerrigan and it is great to get to know her better!

Anyone read these? They both sound good, but I have never heard of them before.

Most of the books I intend to read in June. Some are missing from these piles. Should be another good reading month!

Has anyone read it?

Enjoying the third book in the Maeve Kerrigan series! Can‘t believe I‘ve never read a book by Casey before this year!

Reading Demelza with @Andrew65 Watching the European election and wondering what is wrong with people in my country.

In a few weeks I‘ll be spending a week in a national park as part of rewilding the Finnish forest reindeer. I have decided it‘ll be 8h sleeping, 8h reading, 8h for the rest. I want to read a book a day, as well as a few books that I‘ll read in smaller doses. Mostly I want lighter reading, but not entirely. Here are some books I‘m thinking about. A book should last 3-6ish hours. For those of you who‘ve read any of these, what do you think?

One of my to be read really soon piles and a non-alcoholic IPA. Haven‘t read anything from the Caribbean for awhile, so will be great to get back there!

Whoop 🙌Amazon has resolved my issue and I now own the book! I‘m ready to go!

For the first time in 20 years I visited Turku. Animal rights lawyers conference, and I also met my Ph.D supervisor for the first time! After some hardcore legal debates and insights from around the globe it‘s time to relax on the bus and read some Slaughter (a different kind of slaughter was on the agenda earlier today).

Not totally convinced yet, but will read the second Poldark book, since it was clearly waiting for me at the library 📚 Maybe @Andrew65 will read it with me?

Never read a large print book before. Feels a bit weird, but I‘m sure I‘ll get used to it!

A pic from inside the secondhand bookstore in Helsinki I frequent. Only bought three books today!

Warm sunny day, after book shopping brew. Yummy sour! These books sound so good!

A new place opened up at 12. I was there 11.50. Their first customer! 😆 was smart enough to pick up a few books from the library.

Very different from what I expected. Not so much about the mystery itself, but more about strong character building. An enjoyable read, and most likely a good pick for people who enjoy a whodunnit, but without the gruesome details and fast paced action.

It‘s that time again ❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful flowers! Goes somehow well with the book #Romania #readingtheworld

Slowly putting together my books for June. Still many I need to get hold of, but it‘s starting to look like another good reading month!
