Brilliant 5🌟 standalone from @liljawriter.bsky.social! (tr. @graskeggur.bsky.social) 🤩👌 #BookSky #Iceland 🔎💀📚💙

Bright light will always banish the dark...pass it on 💡 #MeaninglessHashtag #MHClub #MobilePhotography 📷

I really enjoyed this one, it was so refreshing to have such a direct-speaking heroine 😊👌

@pareidolia.bsky.social Such a shocked lorry! 😂

Unputdownable new tale from @hildur.bsky.social, with a cherished cat (safe! #iykyk 😉) & two very different women, both in unenviable situations. An unlikely friendship grows, menace and tension build (the cat's still safe!) Then Unnur's solution to insomnia is put to the test... #BookSky #Iceland

For this date I seem to have lots of photos but I can only post four so here are some from 2016: Nov 20th, 2016 #Iceland #Esja #Outdoors #Landscape #Photography #OTD

Why yes, @microsoft.com, I will HAPPILY provide you feedback on how exactly I feel about Word right now.

So in love with this one from Rob 😍👌 You could look at it as warm, gothic, or threatening - it's so perfect!

If you love the natural beauty of Iceland, you’ll love these art prints! Save 25% off throughout November. Made from a selection of my paintings they show beautiful spots in Iceland I have visited with my paintbrush. Appreciate the support! #iceland #landscape #discount #blackfriday #shopsmall #art

@solveigpals.bsky.social look what's arrived! Looking forward to a good read, but my #TBR pile has increased a lot with my #IcelandNoir visit - what a delicious problem to have in rubbish weather, a good excuse to cosy up indoors and get the pages turning! #notalegt #amreading #BookSky #folklore

All the best books are wearing bear this season! Easily my two favourite covers of the year 😍🐻‍❄️ @solveigpals.bsky.social's stunning Ísbirnir, and Reynir Finndal Grétarsson's cunning Líf (enjoy the hidden elements!) #IcelandicNoir #BookSky #Iceland 🇮🇸 #polarbears #icebears #books

A visit to #Iceland and only an 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 waterfall to show for it?! It is a pretty little one though, at the Laugarás Lagoon. Their marketing suggests they're the only lagoon with a waterfall but I'm not sure that's entirely true! 🤔 #WaterfallWednesday #WaterWednesday #MobilePhotography 🇮🇸

More wonderful patterns seen by looking inside an iceberg on the Fellsfjara beach at Jökulsárlón in #Iceland.

And just like that, I was home (it's a 4x pic so might need a click) Would be good if I'd schooled myself to take the same angle every time! 😂 But I was just going each time for best view with least reflections/rainy windows! Nice to be home but sad to leave #Iceland as always 🥺 #travel #sunrise 📷

Me at Iceland Noir 😂🤦🏼‍♀️📚🇮🇸 (I hope this works, the thumbnail text is wrong...) www.instagram.com/reel/DQZHHPE...

Dead Weight, my new (and quite bloody, if I say so myself) horror thriller, comes out next May. And right now B&N has a 25% discount offer on preorders! It's hard to overstate how important preorders are for a book and I would be so very grateful if you would share this post for me, dear friends ❤️

Had a wonderful relaxing last day in #Iceland yesterday with @leahwho.bsky.social at the Laugarás Lagoon - skál! ♨️ ☺️ #MobilePhotography

As if it wasn't enough being pursued by the Jólakötturinn and Jólabókaormurinn this week, now the waterfall face is out to get me as well 😳 @pareidolia.bsky.social #Laugarás #MobilePhotography #Iceland 🇮🇸

Hallgrímskirkja this morning 🤩 #reykjavik #MobilePhotography #Iceland

Pure magic. Nov. 17th, 2012 #Iceland #Esja #Outdoors #Landscape #Photography #OTD

A little detail in an iceberg with a ripply reflection in the lagoon (from the zodiac boat which has gone past). Jökulsárlón, #Iceland

Me as Father Christmas at a local park. I did my Scots brogue. Very similar to Shrek.

Popped out late last night as strong #aurora forecast but with comprehensive cloud cover, but I thought you never know, a little gap might appear! 😶‍🌫️ No aurora for me but this purr-roarer instead! 😼 #MobilePhotography #Iceland #folklore #YuleCat

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Ó nei! Jólabókaormurinn borðaði mig! (that's my effort for #IcelandicLanguageDay!) You can avoid being eaten by the Christmas Book Wyrm by gifting and receiving books this Xmas - don't risk it, contact your favourite independent bookshop today!! #BookSky #Iceland #folklore #DagurÍslenskrarTungu 🇮🇸📚

Leifur's daily posts of his Esja climbs are a highlight of my day - and look at today's one, it's gorgeous, such a contrast of the bright snow and threatening sky! It was my pleasure to meet him this morning! ☺️

There she is now, all unpacked again and ready for a hectic day of being a mountain 🤩 #SkySunday #skyscape #SeaScape #landscape #MobilePhotography #Iceland

Penultimate panel at #IcelandNoir with @lenaolin.bsky.social & her husband & director Lasse Hallström (they were really sweet, flown over for the day from Sweden 🎭) & Ragnar Jónasson, author of #TheDarkness (streaming on C4 in UK) in which Lasse directs & Lena stars. As you see it was a fun one! 💙📚🇮🇸

Jumper twins this morning at Tölt in @editionhotels.bsky.social with the wonderful @heidiamsinckwriter.bsky.social! 👯 #Iceland #IcelandNoir #BookSky #knitting (lauded hobby of the festival!)

And finally! Last panel of #IcelandNoir 2025 was GRRM with Yrsa Sigurðardóttir, discussing world building & the like. GRRM talked a lot about #Tolkien & the inspiration #LOTR was to him, & demo'd the impact killing a character you care about can have (tho JRRT 'cheated by bringing them back' 😉) 💙📚🇮🇸

I was excited to see this late entry to the #IcelandNoir , on the 70th anniversary of Halldór Laxness' #nobel prize award - Pétur Már Ólafsson & Ragnar Helgi Ólafsson discussing Laxness with @hattiewilliams.bsky.social - here Ragnar is resigning himself that he's NOT the best writer in #Iceland 😂💙📚

The Art of Acting panel, moderated by Sigríður Pétursdóttir, with Will Tudor (unbelievably 38yo😳), Anna Friel and @whiteboarfilms.com (Richard Armitage) discussing bringing characters to life, & Intimacy Coordinator contracts (non existent when Will was starkers in #GoT 😂) #IcelandNoir 💙📚 #Iceland 🇮🇸

The very entertaining & inspiring @andrimagnason.bsky.social with @hattiewilliams.bsky.social. I hadn't realised the Ok glacier memorial has now been used on 3 of the world's 'dead' glaciers 🥺 I asked if he was having to change the Bónus pig on his poetry book but he's #TeamOldPig! #IcelandNoir 💙📚🇮🇸

More great readings at Tölt this morning, at @editionhotels.bsky.social Reykjavík for #IcelandNoir, @sydmoore.bsky.social ( #TheGreatDeception) @heidiamsinckwriter.bsky.social (Jensen bk 4) & Yrsa Þöll & Gunnar Theodór ( #Jólabókaormurinn) Gorgeous cosy venue, enjoyable addition to the festival 🤩💙📚🇮🇸

Downside of this delicious dinner was I sat thru the final 2 panels of #IcelandNoir 2025 (feat. Lena Olin, Lasse Hallström & GRRM) fantasising about storming the stage NOT for the talent, but for the water carafe 🤣💦 So I skipped the farewell party in favour of an early night & gallon of water!

It's that time of year again to hope you get some clothing for Christmas or Jólakötturinn will get you! #Iceland #Folklore

Back here again myself thanks to @mccwanders.bsky.social because Padre Pizza are, in their own words, illegally good! #reykjavik #pizza 🇮🇸🍕

The weather's a bit damp and mizzly today so they've rolled up Esja and packed her away until things improve 😉 #Iceland 🇮🇸 #MobilePhotography 📷

Last panel of the day for me was Ragnar Jónasson interviewing the inimitable and hilarious George RR Martin, with actor from #GoT Will Tudor - a great end to another wonderful day at #IcelandNoir! #Iceland #BookSky

Lovely @hildur.bsky.social introduced me to @andrimagnason.bsky.social (one of the #IcelandNoir guests I was most looking forward to seeing!) by grassing me up that when I met her I took a selfie with #Uggi before I did with her! 😂 Can't wait for his panel Sat (Andri, not Uggi!) #Iceland #BookSky 🇮🇸🌍

Cold as Ice panel, with @graskeggur.bsky.social talking about his new trilogy under the name Erlendur Arason (only in Icelandic & on Storytel audio atm) & @solveigpals.bsky.social chatting with Ævar Örn Jósepsson about her new book & how she went from acting to teaching then writing #IcelandNoir 💙📚🇮🇸

Child's & Thrills panel, moderated by Áslaug Torfadóttir, with @mariestill.bsky.social talking about 'What ifs' & her latest serial killer, & Gunnar T Eggertsson talking about Jólabókaormurinn (dragon who'll eat you if you don't get a book for Xmas!) & his adult horror #IcelandNoir #Iceland #BookSky

Joachim B Schmidt and @solveigpals.bsky.social reading from their books #Kalmann & #Ísbirnir (the lovely Sólveig once again comes up with my favourite book cover of the year!) at Tölt in @editionhotels.bsky.social this morning - wonderful! #IcelandNoir #Iceland #BookSky
