The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living – Meik Wiking, 2017

A cotton candy book – pleasant, nicely-designed (cute spot illustrations), but insubstantial. I was already sold on hygge from various media sources, and this did add hyggelige (adjective) and hyggekrog (cozy nook) to my vocabulary. I also really like that hygge can be felt year-round (summer has its own particular kind), and that Hans Christian Andersen made the oldest-known woven paper heart in 1860.
