During this HotD season, we thought both our dear listeners and ourselves could use a break from just talking about the dragon show. So here is the second of three mini-episode where we recommend stuff to you all! In this episode we talk books!

Lo’s books & authors:

• Stöld (Stolen) - Ann-Helén Laestadius (Sápmi/Sweden)
• Kallocain - Karin Boye (Sweden)
• Muminböckerna (The Moomin Books) - Tove Jansson (Finland)

Virginie’s books & authors:

• La Jument Verte (the Green Mare) by Marcel Aymé (France)
• Métaphysique des Tubes (the character of rain) by Amélie Nothomb (Belgium)
• Daniel Pennac’s “Malaussène Saga” (<- unofficial name): The Scapegoat, The Fairy Gunmother, Write to Kill, Monsieur Malaussène, Passion Fruit (France)
• Svend Åge Madsen’s At Fortælle Menneskene (Narrating the People) and Tugt og Utugt i Mellemtiden (Virtue and Vice in the Middle Time) (Denmark, in Danish)

Unplanned bonus chat about:

Lo: Pippi Långstrump (Pippi Longstocking) by Astrid Lindgren (Sweden).

Ronja Rövardotter (Ronia, the Robber’s daughter) by Astrid Lindgren (Sweden).

And other assorted books by Astrid Lindgren.

Virginie: Astérix by Goscinny & Uderzo (France).

Tintin by Hergé (Belgium).

Ps: the “twelve things to do of Astérix” is actually called “the Twelve Tasks of Astérix” and the task where they have to get a permit (A38) is called "The Place that sends you mad"
