I think someone needs to write a book about hygge for hot climates. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-79363594412586235572017-02-28T08:38:01.688-06:002017-02-28T08:38:01.688-06:00I have an odd question: You said "HOO-GA&quo...I have an odd question: You said "HOO-GA" is the pronunciation, but is the second syllable "HOO-GAH" or "HOO-GAY"?

I haven't read it but heard enough bits and pieces to appreciate the idea. As it snowed all day today I tried very hard to appreciate that I didn't have to go anywhere and could just sit and read and blog and watch the snow fall.

I loved it. There were moments in which it felt a wee bit repetitive but I didn't mind that so much because it just helped reinforce the concepts. I'm really looking forward to reading more about how to make my home hygge. Hope you enjoy the book as much as I did!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-73464205115552696732017-02-27T17:20:16.265-06:002017-02-27T17:20:16.265-06:00I picked this one up when I heard all the fuss abo...I picked this one up when I heard all the fuss about it.
