During 2017, also known as the year Finland turned 100 years as an independent country, the Finnish publishing company WSOY created a series of books that I am extremely excited about. They polled Finnish readers for their favorite Finnish books and re-released the top 12 as a series with brand new covers created by contemporary Finnish artists.

One book was released per month and during the course of 2017 I managed to gather copies of all 12 books into my hands. All this leads me to introduce a new feature for 2018. One of my reading goals for this year will be to read one of these books per month in the order they were released in as part of the series. After reading the book I will of course be reviewing it here. In January, I'm starting with some classic Tove Jansson, specifically her Kesäkirja. Keep your eyes peeled for a review of it later this month!
