Hello kind fellow bookcrosser! Great to see you here! Note that my age above is set as my Bookcrossing age :)

Over the years I have released most of my home library through Bookcrossing activities. The more I BookCross, the more I aim to find and keep only my favourite books. I am learning to let go of those lukewarm books that I feel I should read but never get further than first 50 pages :) Also, I try to find controlled release receivers / wish lists owners for my read books. When that is not possible, I mostly release in book swap shelves nearby.

ACTIVITIES IN 2024

DONE - Golden Spurtle - Scottish sweepstakes
ONGOING - Mount TBR 2024 louhintahaaste My list
ONGOING - Bookray (in 2022) Untamed

Should you wish to send me a HGG or RABCK, see below for ideas:

- kindly see my book wish list, I keep it up-to-date and max 2 page long
- bookmarks and labelling supplies in English or Finnish
- wings are very much appreciated!
- Little Free Library is a fascinating concept! If you have one near you, I'd be absolutely delighted if you would offer to help me in releasing a book there.
- I enjoy strong black chai and dark puerh tea (any tea that I can enjoy with oat milk)
- I wear wool socks around the year (EUR size 39/40)
- Please do not send chocolate, cookies or candy; instead, I'd love to try your local honey in my tea
- Pictures of Norway, Scotland and Ireland (lochs, castles, stone circles, big views on mountains, fjords and sea, ...), snow covered trees and landscapes, aurora borealis, moon phases and full moon light on a landscape, cherry blossoms, and fall foliage inspire me.
- I adore Snoopy and Woodstock from Peanuts
- I use hand cream. A lot. My favourite brand is the L'Occitane and their Dry Skin Hand Cream. My favourite scented creams are almond, pumpkin, vanilla, peony, and rose.
- My favorite animal is the Saimaa ringed seal that is among the most endangered species in the world. Your donation for WWF any time of the year would be fantastic and a great gift for the seal and me! Many thanks!


I read a lot as a kid. My parents took me to the library regularly and bought books as presents. My top three childhood books are: Wind in the willows, 101 dalmatians, and Uncle Fedja, his dog and his cat. I learned how to read from Aku Ankka (Donald Duck/Disney) and Nakke Nakuttaja (Woody Woodpecker/Universal) comics like so many kids in Finland in the late 1960s :)

In addition to reading my TBR books or getting books from the library, I read and listen books via BookBeat and Libby. Do you use Libby? If you have a library card, you definitely should :)
