Really, I should never go
to libraries alone. I was supposed to return The Summer Prince and
get two books I ordered earlier (if you live in Espoo, Helsinki,
Vantaa or Kauniainen, you can order books from any of their libraries
and have them delivered to your local library for free). But
somehow... my legs just took me upstairs... and my eyes saw more
books... and then the books just jumped into my hands, you know? They
were naughtily heavy!
My husband is learning
Russian. He is reading Max Frei now, humoristic Russian
fantasy-mystery. It's a bit challenging for a beginner, so I got him
English translation for reference.
Max Frei wrote a lot, this
isn't even everything. ^^
I was curious about these
writers, time to try!
A graphic novel about
lesbians (I'm reading books with LGBTQIA characters in June, because
it's Pride Month), and a book that might help me draw my own comics.
And then in Lidl tea jumped into my hands as well.
I've never tried Darjeeling and never even heard of Keemun tea before.
My mother-in-law likes to
send us postcards ^^ Here are the card from their Tallinn trip and
others. They stayed in St. Olav Hotel too. ^^
Selfie!
Also, when I was in the
train on my way home, a man I was sitting near to was listening to
heavy metal. Yay ^^ Have some melodic death metal from Finland!
Insomnium
Check more Insomnium here.
“A long time ago when I
knew almost nothing about Finland, I knew one important thing –
Finns make awesome metal. Is there something special in Finnish air
or are Finns simply born with guitars instead of skis? Maybe I like
Finnish metal for its sheer quality, maybe for melancholy, but
whatever the reason it will always have a place in my heart. Today's
awesome Finnish band is Insomnium, the masters of catchy melodies I
got addicted to from the first song I heard.”
Insomnium! ^___^
