Iceland

[close] In this group you will find a daily post of a chapter from the Viking and Norse sagas. This group was originally set up to discuss the Viking and Icelandic Sagas which we hoped would be featured in the BBC 4 Series of the same name. But they weren't so we will do this instead. Please feel free to post entries and comments and to ask questions.

[close] Little Free Library Reykjavík is the first Little Free Library in Iceland (Charter #2896). It was installed in Hjólmskalagarður, a park next to the pond in the center of Reykjavík, in June 2013. This is a catalog of books circulating in the collection, as well as a list of "backlisted" books, meaning books that we have in storage but aren't currently circulating. Please feel free to share your thoughts with other members on books you've borrowed and read, make suggestions about books (or kinds of books) you'd like to see more of, or request that specific backlisted titles be added to the circulating collection. Get in touch at lflreykjavik@gmail.com.

[close] Located just outside of Reykjavik, Iceland, Camp Sovngarde is home to the demigod children of the Aesir and the Vanir, and is one of the last safe havens for Norse godlings in Midgard. With Loki and the Jotun moving to start Ragnarok and with Odin missing, what will become of the gods?

[close] Thanks to a tattooed, adventurous , bisexual computer hacker named Lisbeth Salander, Scandinavian crime fiction is now one of the most popular categories among mystery readers around the world. So far Noir-flavored books from Scandinavia have sold more than 6 million copies in the United States and 35 million copies worldwide and have become a publishing phenomenon. Given the increasing interest in the Nordic works of crime fiction, Mystery Tribune has created this group for Goodreads members to discuss and exchange insights about this sub-category. We publish a weekly list of Best Sellers in Scandinavian Crime, based on the sales data in the United States and usually pick top sellers or new titles from this list for our discussions.
