How We Choose Our Books
Spruce And Fjell Book Club
We choose Scandinavian themed books because we LOVE sharing Scandinavian culture. Our book picks will include cook books, children’s books, Scandinavian authors, culture - and other subjects we find interesting.
Next Chapter Book Club
Aleah (from our team here at Spruce And Fjell) and a friend formed the Next Chapter book club. We are sharing their book choices here. They used 2024 Popsugar prompts for book choices. They alternate months for choosing, so they get out of their reading comfort zones.
