My Name is Anna by Lizzy Barber has been at the top of my “to read” list since hearing her speak at Iceland Noir in November. Snow outside, hot tea and my fav chair inside. Ready-set-go! @bylizzybarber.bsky.social
Just listened to Justin Carter eulogize his grandfather with such loving respect. Being remembered as a humanitarian and man of character takes a lifetime of good deeds. I hope all in the room had their listening ears on — one in particular.
One more episode to watch, and this is one of Harlan Coben’s best! Between Mr. Coben & @ianrankin1.bsky.social (my favorite crime fiction writers), I can’t wait for a new book or television release. Be sure to watch this if you’re a crime fiction fan!
Thanks for watching. ❤️🙏🏻

Took this on my recent trip to Iceland. According to Icelandic folklore, the Yule Cat roams the countryside, going from house to house, looking to eat any children not wearing the new clothes they got for Christmas. Yikes!
Iceland: The Land of Fire and Ice. No kidding! Taken from opposite sides of the rooftop bar at the Reykjavik Edition Hotel three nights ago. 💙
Iceland’s Northern Lights last night, dancing with the moon and stars.
Heading to Reykjavik and Iceland Noir. SO many great speakers — especially eager to hear @harlancoben.bsky.social
