My next read/listen is King Of Ashes by @blacktopkid.bsky.social I love the narration of Adam Lazarre White, so picking up the audiobook version of this was a complete no brainer.

Copy one of two - the ‘normal’ version - of Ragnar Jónasson’s Snowblind 10th Anniversary Edition arrived yesterday. Very pretty but still have the indie edition (with spredges) to come which should be 😍.

My 1st ever Icelandic novel.
