The Poetic Edda

The Poetic Edda: The Elder Edda | Anonymous, Benjamin Thorpe

pick

It's like the prose edda but they are written more like poetry? Some parts dull as hell where they re-tell the same story 19 times (Sigmund!!!)

The Poetic Edda | Lee Milton Hollander

Spent my afternoon crafting some succulent containers and book shopping. The plants are fake, and the books are real! Was also listening to my audiobook, which is a really intense mystery.

gradcat Omigod—and here they are!! I love those...maybe I could do some (however, no green thumb AT ALL here)! 👍❤️ 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @gradcat You don‘t need a green thumb—the little plants are made of plastic! Basically just a bit of real dirt at the bottom, then some sand, pebbles, moss and the plants. Super easy, really! 5y

gradcat Those are plastic?!? They look so real! Okay, now I have a project! Thank you so much for this...they really are very nice looking. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @gradcat Have fun! ♥️ 5y

My first and probably not last #blameMrBook purchase. When @MrBook shared this a month or two ago (I'm behind) I immediately closed Litsy and hit Book Depository's site to buy it. A gorgeous cover (aside from that darn sticker) AND inspired The Hobbit. How could I not?! Unfortunately for my wallet and TBR pile, it looked like there were others in this Penguin series. I guess I need to acquire those too. 💸#blamelitsy

Sace I am soooo lucky there are no links to book purchasing places on Litsy. It's one of the reasons I stay away from the Goodreads app. No self control. 7y

MrBook WOOHOO!!!! 😆😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Hope too enjoy it!!! 7y

jen_hayes7 @RestlessFickleBookSlut AGREED! I would get myself into so much trouble. I have zero willpower. 7y

jen_hayes7 @MrBook Thank you!! Keep the temptation posts coming!! (I might have to get a second job to support the habit, but it'd be worth it. 😝) 7y

MrBook My utmost pleasure. *bows* 7y

#TBRtemptation post 3! Not only was this an inspiration for Tolkien and his creation of the Middle Earth mythology, but it still influences many writers today, including Neil Gaiman. This is a compilation of Nordic, primarily Icelandic, myths. It's as tangible a link to iconic authorial and cinematic inspiration as you're going to find. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Lcsmcat Love that cover! 7y

Moray_Reads I had this in my hand yesterday but I forced myself to put it down. Until payday. 7y

brilliantglow I have the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda but I have never heard of the Elder Edda. Looks like one I need to add to my personal library though. 7y

CoffeeCatsBooks Interesting and pretty! 7y

PirateJenny It's part of a series Penguin did of the works that inspired Tolkien (they left out the Kalevala though--I think the emphasis is specifically on northern works. The Kalevala isn't really classified as northern because people are weird. No, I know it has to do with language.) 😊 7y

Poems of the Elder Edda (Revised) | Patricia Terry

Well, looking around my bookcases, I have a sever lack of short stories. However, I did find this gem! Nordic poems are close enough for the challenge, right? 😂
#somethingforsept #shortstories

quirkyreader I love the Nordic ballads. I definitely must if I have two different versions of the Song of Roland. 8y
