A blog about books, travels and life. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Wish You Were Here - Mike Gayle. I grabbed this book on a whim from the library, hoping for a light, summery read. I enjoyed the book and it certainly was a light summer read, just perfect for the beach - after all, it's about a holiday. I couldn't help thinking that the book was just like chick-lit but with guys as the main characters. Posted by Mrs Suvi. June 16, 2010 at 6:54 AM. Maybe you havent. because its really terrible.

http://sandalsandsnowshoes.blogspot.com/2010/06/midsummer-and-finnish-leech.html
A blog about books, travels and life. Saturday, June 26, 2010. Midsummer and a Finnish leech. Midsummer is a much loved celebration in Finland.

You could say that Finland shuts down for Midsummer because almost everyone takes off and travels to the countryside to summer houses for rest and relaxation. I say. Everyone because this year we decided to stay in the city. Last year. Is this the right way? June ...

A blog about books, travels and life. Saturday, June 5, 2010. Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida. I really love the name of Vendela Vida's book -. Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name -. It's so haunting. I have to admit that it was one of the reasons I wanted to read this book. The other reason was that it's a book partly based in Finnish Lapland. First-of-all, when Clarissa arrives in Finland she takes the hotel shuttle bus to the hotel and the driver checks her into the hotel&#...
