Njuta : enjoy, delight in : the Swedish art of savoring the moment / by Brantmark, Niki,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Derived from the old Swedish word "niuta", the concept of "njuta" is a deeply held philosophy closely tied to Swedish cultural and social ideology. Njuta is believed to have originated with Viking culture, and to have evolved from the old Norse word "njota" which means to enjoy, to keep, to use. Deeply ingrained in the Swedish psyche, njuta is about simplicity and intentionalism in every aspect of life-from work and leisure to family and food and everything in between. The Swedish are masters at gleaning delight from the simple things in life. It is the small things in which greatness lies and it does not take grand gestures or vast amounts of money to believe that life is not only okay but truly wonderful. What the Swedish understand is that simple pleasures are all around us, every minute, every hour of the day. You just have to stop, tap into your senses, and take time to consciously appreciate them. You need to "njuta"! In this inviting, inspirational, illustrated guide, Niki Brantmark explains njuta and how to incorporate it into your own lifestyle. In the home, take time to savor that first sip of coffee in the morning. Relish a quiet moment while everyone is out - just you, in a cozy corner by the window in silence. In nature, enjoy the landscape, the silence, the dappled sunlight over the snowy tracks, your breath forming clouds in the frigid air. Njuta might be as simple as deciding to stop mid-step and angle your face up to the sun to soak up its wonderful warmth, or feel the wind in your hair as you cycle to work. This guide will also help you discover njuta in moments spent with your friends and family, and moments spent with yourself. With this beautifully designed, idea-filled guide, you can learn to relax and consciously enjoy a moment in time no matter how small"--

Osebol : voices from a Swedish village / by Kapla, Marit,1970-author.; Graves, Peter,1942-translator.; translation of:Kapla, Marit,1970-Osebol.English.;
Near the river Klaralven, snug in the dense forest landscape of northern Varmland, lies the secluded village of Osebol. It is a quiet place: one where relationships take root over decades, and where the bustle of city life is replaced by the sound of wind in the trees. Marit Kapla has interviewed nearly every villager between the ages of 18 and 92, recording their stories verbatim. What emerges is at once a familiar chronicle of great social metamorphosis, told from the inside, and a beautifully microcosmic portrait of a place and its people.

The Department of Sensitive Crimes / by McCall Smith, Alexander,1948-author.;
"The detectives who work in Malmo Police's Department of Sensitive Crimes take their job very seriously. The lead detective, Ulf Varg, prioritizes his cases above even his dog's mental health. Then there are detectives Anna Bengsdotter, who keeps her relationship with Varg professional even as she realizes she's developing feelings for him ... or at least for his car, and Carl Holgersson, first to arrive in the morning and last to leave, who would never read his colleagues' personal correspondence--unless it could help solve a crime, of course. Finally, there's Erik Nykvist, who peppers conversations with anecdotes about fly fishing. Along with an opinionated local police officer named Blomquist, the Department of Sensitive Crimes takes on three extremely strange cases. First, the detectives investigate how and why a local business owner was stabbed ... in the back of the knee. Next, a young woman's imaginary boyfriend goes missing. And, in the final investigation, Varg must determine whether nocturnal visitations at a local spa have a supernatural element. Using his renowned wit and warmth, Alexander McCall Smith brings a unique perspective on Scandinavian crime. Equal parts hilarious and heartening, The Department of Sensitive Crimes is a tour de farce from a literary master"--

The blue maiden : a novel / by Noyes, Anna,author.;
"It's 1825, four generations after Berggrund Island's women stood accused of witchcraft under the eye of their priest, now long dead. In his place is Pastor Silas, a widower with two wild young daughters, Beata and Ulrika. The sisters are outcasts: imaginative, oppositional, increasingly obsessed with the lore and legend of the island's sinister past and their absent mother, whom their father refuses to speak of. As the girls come of age, and the strictures of the community shift but never wane, their rebellions twist and sharpen. Ever-capable Ulrika shoulders the burden of keeping house, while Bea, alone with unsettling visions and impulses, hungers for companionship and attention. When an enigmatic outsider arrives at their door, his presence threatens their family bond and unearths -- piece by piece -- a buried history to shocking ends. All the while Berggrund's neighboring island the Blue Maiden beckons, storied home of the Witches' Sabbath and Satan's realm, its misted shore veiling truths the sisters have spent their lives searching for."--
