pickThe whole family is home with a cold 🥶 cancelled all the weekend plans except snuggling Snorri, eating lots of soup, & drinking cozy pots of tea ☕️
#WeeklyForecast No book in progress, and that‘s the way I like to start my reading week.
1. Edda, S.Sturloson. After reading N.Gaiman‘s North Mythology I wanted to read original stories/poems.
2. The Village of Waiting, G.Packer. Start reading today for #ReadAroundTheWorld
3. Unwanted Guest, S.Lapena. I‘m in the mood for some easy going, but still gripping (I hope) audiobook.
4. Bring Up the Bodies, H.Mantel. I have to prepare for third book.😁

Heading to the city centre where l'll speak at a little conference about Tolkien and his major sources: the Eddas, Beowulf and the Kalevala.
Guess what my topic is... and wish me luck 😄
Studying the Edda for a speech for my Tolkien group. Found a passage in the introduction regarding the magic of names, the power of people who remember the meaning and origine of names (gods, wizards, skalds) and the magical power of riddles.
Absutely fantastic 😍😍😍

"Of the secrets of giants and all the gods, I can tell the truth"
A great love of mine is early medieval literature. That combined with these beautiful covers meant that I had to buy them all. (It is the 'books that inspired Tolkien' collection by penguin)
Who else judges books by their cover?
