A morning coffee and planning for my next holiday commences! Iceland has 100% literacy and publishes more books per capita than any other country. Plenty of bookshops to buy some Nordic Noir ❤️

MrBook Whoooaaa! #NiceStack!!! #Jenga I have "The Seven Basic Plots" ???. 8y
MariaW @MrBook I started it twice already but was too busy through my working days, I couldn't concentrate as much as the book demands. But I'm still pretty curious. 8y
MrBook It's a slog fest! Didn't make it far myself since it was packed up for a move around 3 years ago and is still boxed up, lol. 8y
