Depends. If I am travelling with someone and staying for a few days we would drive, but this was just a short work trip so I flew.

Excellent question

Anne Carson, the new Nobel Laureate in literature, has Icelandic citizenship. We as a nation will become absolutely insufferable about now having TWO Nobel winning writers. Just imagine all the per capita calculations we can drum up with this one!

This might be one of my favourite Goodreads review I've ever received.
Very Icelandic feel to the writing. Three stars.

Northern lights yesterday evening and then the temperature dropped below zero during the night, so we woke up to frost on puddles, leaves and grass. Winter is coming. Or even already here, probably.

Soooo, what happened is that I actually couldn't stop thinking: "What if we *were* creeps?" So I ended up writing a book about it. I'm turning it in to my editor very soon and it'll be out next year!

On Saturday evening me and my cousin @fjolagud.bsky.social followed a really drunk girl through downtown Reykjavík to make sure she safely got to where she was going and when I got home and told my husband he said: "Uhm, you are kind of creeps."

He also needs to monitor the garden situation quite closely

He’s trying to rest but there are weird little sounds in this new house. Are they innocent? Or are they not?

A quick reminder that this one will be out in March! Links to preorder are here. It’s my retelling of the Icelandic 12th century myth of Selkolla. It has changelings (or does it?), mound dwellers, blót and a fair bit of blood. Preorders are the best way to support a book, its author and their dog!

Down Where Monsters Dwell
From Hildur Knútsdóttir comes Down Where Monsters Dwell, a dark, historical fairytale steeped in Icelandic folklore about the powerful bond between mothers...

Quite possibly (we still haven’t opened it).
