The Swedish Illustrated Edition of Harry Potter
Another round at the Akademibokhandeln today yielded spectacular results.
For this round, I went to the bookstore at Asecs, which is also in Jönköping. I brought home with me all four of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter (illustrated editions) in the Swedish language.
The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells
I’ve really enjoyed reading the Murderbot Diaries! I was looking for new books to read and found this series of sci-fi, fantasy novella.
I’ve finished reading the first two of the four novellas […]

I'm still reading STUFFOCATION by James Wallman (previous post here and here). Here’s the part that truly resonated with me at this juncture: Why the medium chill matters. What it’s saying is exactly what I was just saying to my family and friends very recently, and it's a principle I've been holding on firmly for years. I wasn't using the term 'medium chill' but the principle is the same.

Hello! I'm back with more thoughts from STUFFOCATION by James Wallman. I’ve now come to the part where the book talks about the five key questions to work out if minimalism is going to catch on. I will not repeat all the questions here. There are no issues with the first three, but it starts to falter at question 4 and according to the author, it falls flat at the last question: Compared to the way we live now, is minimalism better?

I'm currently reading STUFFOCATION by James Wallman, which I started about two hours ago. I've reached the part on how the throwaway culture was created and how we're being manipulated into behaving exactly the way they (the industrialists, the ad folks, etc.) want us to behave through the creation of desire.
Mapping Experiences
As a program manager, I'm obsessed with two things: thinking and processes. And then I found this book, MAPPING EXPERIENCES, by Jim Kalbach. This book is about possibilities and I'm super excited how it'll help me expand my thinking.
Spring fort, Pytte!
Today I finished reading SPRING FORT, PYTTE! by Ingrid Flygare. Three days ago, I was reading DU ÄR BÄST, PYTTE! also by the same author. Both books were borrowed from the Huskvarna bibliotek.
SPRING FORT, PYTTE! (Run fast, Pytte!) is a story about being the smallest of the lot and overcoming fear. Pytte is a 4-year-old Shetland pony. He lives at the Granbacken stable with three other horses named Sonja, Jumper, and Attila. Together, they have so much fun and are very supportive of one other.
Du är bäst, Pytte!
I've just finished reading DU ÄR BÄST, PYTTE! by Ingrid Flygare. It's a fun children's book I borrowed from the Huskvarna bibliotek. I read it twice.
DU ÄR BÄST, PYTTE! (You're the best, Pytte!) is a story about not losing courage even if you do not succeed in the beginning. Everybody is talented in their own ways and Pytte soon finds this out for himself!
