Welcome to Litsy!

I forgot to post a picture of my #jolabokaflodswap box when I sent this out last week. It traveled up the east coast and should be arriving today. Enjoy!

My #JolabokaflodSwap23 has been sent @MaleficentBookDragon . Thanks for organizing this fun swap.

The Halldor Laxness museum in the outskirts of Reykjavík. No wonder he was able to write novels, short stories and plays - with that view!!! #halldorlaxness #laxness #iceland #myicelandicweek #icelandiclit

I‘ve read Independent People but after visiting Iceland I want to read more of his work.

It's been a while since I updated my #BackpackEurope trip, but I have been travelling!! At least literary. In real life, I've been really busy moving, it sure takes time to prepare an apartment for sale!!

Went on to #Iceland after leaving London early in September, and had a beautiful stay with the tagged book. It gave a great picture of Iceland, the beautiful nature and the people in ancient Iceland.

This was quite a bit. It is a historic novel but is not supposed to be one. 🤔 It shows the Icelandic society at the end of the 17th century, its forced dependence on Denmark and the struggle to gain freedom. The historic circumstances are told surrounding the story of the detained Jon Hreggvidsson and the persons affected by it. For me it was very hard to find access to the story and the writing. But in the end I quite liked it. #iceland #laxness

There are young girls by which everything is rendered uncertain: the air, the ground and the water.
