pickThis book was quirky and unique. It wasn‘t like any other book I‘ve read. I‘m quite impressed with it. I did think it was odd that the author named the main character‘s best friend Audur (it isn‘t often that author‘s own names pop up in their novels, is it?), but honestly? That sort of oddity seemed to fit in with the other oddities in the book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨!!

So far, this book is really quirky and a bit odd. I‘d say that, if you like it after the first chapter or so, then you‘ll likely continue to like it, but if not, well, I don‘t think it changes as it progresses. I‘m really enjoying it so far, but it is hard to describe how the writing style is so different, and I can see the main character being difficult for some people to relate to. More in a day or two once I‘ve finished it! :)

pickWhat a fun, quirky, and atmospheric read. I quite enjoyed this one. 📖🇮🇸😎. Photo curtesy of Google
“It‘s not that I‘m fleeing anything, just exploring my most intimate and uncharted territories in a quest for fresh feelings in a new prefabricated summer cottage planted on the edge of a muddy ravine with my hearing and sight-impaired four-year-old travelling companion” It seems that the protagonist‘s life is looking up after she is dumped twice in one day and hits a goose with her car 🇮🇸
This one is quite quirky and eccentric so far… it‘s the third novel I‘ve read from this author. I must say I do enjoy the characters she creates and the narratives she weaves. I must say that I can feel the cold, damp wind that the author describes..
pickThis is a great read for empowered, compassionate protagonists thrown intro eccentric scenarios.
so-soI really enjoyed the first half of the book. I didn‘t find the rest of the book strong and I was bored with it.
So far, the book is fun. The protagonist strikes me as somewhat detached from her life, but I‘ll hope she gets better.
Finallt beginning #readaroundtheworld. First stop: Iceland, which has always intrigued me because it has such a unique history and culture.
Found this odd little gem at the Keflavik airport. My mum no longer even questions this compulsion. Probably not a good sign. 💖📚
No idea what exactly NF is supposed to represent, but I am posting this novel about Iceland. I'd love to visit Iceland, just need some money and a travel companion who can take over the driving when I have to stop. 😀
EDIT: @silentrequiem thinks NF neans non-fiction (makes sense) - so I'm going to post something else again later.

Saturday morning perfection. So far I'm loving this funny, sharp and beautiful Icelandic novel. One of my goals for 2017 is to read more in translation. So far this is my first--an auspicious beginning! #intranslation
I kinda failed #booktober because of lack of book options, but now that I'm going back to my books tonight imma make a solid effort for #photoadaynov16. Excited to see everyone's pictures!
Also in case anyone missed my post a few days ago, here's the list for November. Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃
