    See, all those countries in the very north of the world are routinely named the happiest in the world. I feel like it might be less SEASONAL depression and something about the way our society is structured, at least here in the US. Always a pleasure to see you, Emma, and I hope your December is going smashingly.

    We don't have 4 seasons in my country, so I never really experienced true winter. But, whenever I think about this year and last year recently, I've come to realize that a lot of the best memories and relationships that I have, had happened or been strengthened during the late three months of the year as well as the earliest three months. What I have trouble dealing with is the middle, where a lot of change happens, where school years end and teachers are different and subjects are different, that everything seemed to come to an end.
    I feel like the cold atmosphere of winter makes the warm and bright experiences we have during it all the more heartfelt. I think that the lingering festiveness the first months have, make the days a wonderful time to be alive in, as well as the climax of school. The interval that happens between these two, pales in comparison.

    Hi! I just read beartown last week! I will say it is a different flavor than the other Backman I have read. Its more serious and it took me till 75% through to really bond with the characters. As a northern Minnesota woman I also fear hockey towns...he is so accurate at creating that environment my skin crawls. Happy Winter!

    Your red zippered cardigan was stunning! You look so good in red. I disliked Bear Town because I feel like I’ve lived in Bear Town the majority of my life. I hate hockey and yeah, it was just not going to happen where I was going to give this sport any more time in my life lmao. Enjoy your wintering! I come alive when the days shorten and the cold sets in. I think it’s partly because I embrace it and make my home a cozy cocoon, my oven is my best friend, and I keep my snowshoes by the door. It’s been a way to look forward to it…now if I can find a wa6 to feel that way in summer when my skin breaks out in rashes because of heat, that would be great.

    As a winter lover and a stay at home enthusiast, I make lists and I try to make them as wide as possible. For example my winter movie list has 4 categories; Christmas, Classics, Cozy and Cold. This way I have many options to choose from. I do the same for books. On that topic I have a suggestion close to your heart :) Imagine reading about a magical hotel full of secrets with a massive library called Winterhouse ❄❄❄ Winterhouse books are a middle grade trilogy written by Ben Guterson. I finished the Aggie Morton Series this summer - read them in order seasonly - looking for something similar I found the Winterhouse and added them to my winter tbr. I know You read The Body Under the Piano, the second one Peril ar Owl Park is perfect for winter too. Hope You have a cozy and magical time this winter filled with snow ❄❄❄

    I live in a place where in recent years the sun is unceasing, endless for most of the year, oppressive and dominating and suffocating.
    So now that it's finally gone, I feel I can breathe again, and relax, and feel relief and easiness.
    That's why winter is my favourite season. The loss of the sun during this time of year is a true delight for me, I get to rest, FINALLY, and leave behind an awful state of mind.❄️🧊
    I imagine it's the opposite for you in Canada, so I wish you luck🩵

    See to get the FULL story of Beartown, you also have to read the last two books in the trilogy. It’s growth and anthropology. If you stop at Beartown, you’ll miss the whole picture. It’s tough. Also great series but not Backman’s best. You should try Anxious People or A Man Called Ove.

    Thank you, the over-dramatics in Fredrik Backman books annoy me, too! I've found that I have to REALLY love the characters and story to put up with it. If I don't, instead of playing on my empathy it shuts it down and I stop caring. I didn't like Bear Town, but I did enjoy A Man Called Ove and Anxious People.
