It's winter in Reykjavik and a fresh corpse is found in the old cemetery. Why would someone kill an old woman? Is it to do with her financial problems, or the seances she attended? Guðgeir & Elsa Guðrún's latest case amzn.to/3xXmVGa Shrouded by Sólveig Pálsdóttir is out on Sat

It's #NationalTreeDay today (in Australia, but any excuse!) so here's a tree I made on a recent local walk! 🌲😂

Get your preorders in for Johann Thorsson's EXCELLENT debut novel #Whitesands, a bleakly chilling thriller with an incredible supernatural element, out 8/8/24! A desperate detective, a programmer with an unusual talent, artistic murderers with amnesia: FAB! 5🌟 #BooksWorthReading

Well I am clearly going to NEED Viaplay come August 12th! #TheMinister is my favourite thing so far that I've seen Olafur Darri in, so Series 2 is going to be absolute TOP of my viewing priorities!! 🤩

So Rob Watts & Ellie Cawthorne were responsible this morning for making me cry whilst out walking IN PUBLIC and that's just listening to their latest episode, goodness knows what kind of hot mess I'll be in when I get to see the film! @curzoncinemas plz bring it to Canterbury!

In honour of #InternationalCatDay, our much missed Molly in her career as a Social Media Infl-mew-encer (work with me here! 😹), promoting Corylus Books & Paul Mathew! 😻 Both are excellent independents & worthy of YOUR support too! #CatsOnTwitter #BooksWorthReading #aperitifs 🍹

Happy Publication Day to Johann Thorsson's #Whitesands, a gripping supernatural crime thriller that'll stay with you long after the final page! This 5🌟 read introduces disgraced John Dark, a detective with a missing daughter keen to redeem himself. Brilliant! #BooksWorthReading

Just listened to Friendship Onion podcast ep w/ Robert Englund & he recounts a tale of missing out on icecream sandwich in kindergarten thinking it was bread! I had the same as a child, declining Welsh Rarebit as I didn't want 🐰 & being outraged when they had cheese on toast! 🧀

SUCH a glorious cover, (as well as a great story!) I'm quite spellbound by it! #BlackStorms #FictionInTranslation Corylus Books

One to look out for from the brilliant folk at Corylus Books! #BooksWorthReading 📚

Just finished an ARC of this book which was not, as I first thought, a gothic spoof like #NorthangerAbbey, but a deep dive into all the perils (& there were many!) inherent in #JaneAusten's era! Lots of interesting snippets & details, out 30/8, 5⭐ #TheDarkSideofJaneAustensWorld

😂 That's about the weight I give it, too!

This British Airways #safety video (Director's Cut) is hilarious youtube.com/watch?v=ssVe0F… Dr Lindsey Fitzharris Quentin Bates Lee-Anne Fox 🇮🇸📚☕ @OnefootinIceland Adrian Teal 🖌🎨substack.com/@tealcartoons Ewa Sherman Bonus #MichaelCaine appearance!

Didn't even need to finish the summary for this one to move it from 'Suggestion' to 'Sold' once I saw the narrator! I absolutely LOVED Stockholm Sven 🤩 #BooksWorthReading Olafur Darri
