I think the only real change/addition this year is all things Moomin.

Being American, I did not grow up with Moomin things. However, I've been a casual enjoyer of it via tumblr for the last few years. When I saw the new game, Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, I started looking a bit more intentionally for Moominstuff. Aaaand down the rabbit hole I went.

In addition to reading/watching/playing whatever I can get my hands on, I decided this was a fun excuse to try learning a bit of Swedish. I'm just doing Duolingo to start, but I'm sort of hoping I could get my hands on something Moomin-related in Swedish to practice with as well.

Added a new icon to celebrate!

Oooh my Danish friend told me about the Moomin books and I put them on my tbr but I haven’t checked any out yet. I’m also American and had never heard of them until she mentioned them!

It reminds me in some ways of the Calvin and Hobbes comics. Which is to say, it has a lot of wry commentary about the absurdities of (adult) life, couched in a playful, absurdist childhood wrapping.
