On the thirteenth day of #jolabokaflod my writer gave to me...
(Yes, we've got one more!)
Parties of precocious princess
...
...
...
Mighty mountains of monsters
...
...
...
Felonious flatfoot halflings
...
...
...
And adventure topped with pepperoni!

Richard Osman’s “the man who died twice” cover. A Thursday Murder Club mystery
Spent the day as a family reading in silence together as a kind of #jolabokaflod
I chose the second of Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club books and I think it is an improvement on the first one. Lots of twists and turns, clues in plain sight. 400 pages, some very moving.
Este año me he debido portar bien, porque Santa Claus ha sido muy generoso. Esta edición de “La princesa prometida” es una maravilla.

On the twelfth day of #jolabokaflod my writer gave to me,
Wily little witches
...
Unhappy high-strung harpies
...
Perfectly improper pirates
...
Baleful blushing brides
...
Scary spooky ladies
...
Heroines lost in the woods
And adventure topped with pepperoni!

We are starting a new Christmas Eve tradition, we had hot chocolate and read new books (or at least unread previously).
I chose The Last American Road Trip by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social , whose writing is amazing.

Not new, or even new to me, but it's time to hit the lower strata of my #tbr pile.

It was such a special surprise to receive a signed copy of "The Brass Operative" from @kmarkhoover.bsky.social - it's tonight's reading for #Jolabokaflod (Icelandic "book flood" #ChristmasEve tradition). Thank you, my friend!

Wow! Wat een cast en wat een geweldige eerste helft van de film 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' op Netflix!
Gelezen in mijn nieuwe #jolabokaflod boek, geschilderd in mijn art-journal en de helft van een film gekeken. Nu nog even dit katloze en niet erg goede bedboek uitlezen in #koboplus
Paperback copy of The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov and a bar of galaxy caramel
Here's to #Jolabokaflod Very pleased with the book I got from the person I was paired up with for #ChristmasBookswap 💙📚

Happy Jólabókaflóð to everyone celebrating! 📖
We hope it's the start of a holiday period filled with lots of restorative reading... 🖤
Take care and stay spooky,
Rebecca

In my online bookclub we celebrate the Icelandic tradition of #Jolabokaflod, aka swapping books on Christmas Eve.
My wonderful gift this year came all the way from North Carolina with these locally sourced goodies! Can’t wait to try them!
Zo, mij niet bellen de komende 2 uur, want ik ga, geheel volgens traditie, lezen in mijn #jolabokaflod boekcadeau van @emmamiriamb.bsky.social!
Fijne kerstavond en kerstdagen, Emma en @lijntje71.bsky.social @annekevenema.bsky.social @kirsw.bsky.social @noelleengels.bsky.social 🎄🔔🎁💙📚
In de laatste aflevering van @degvpodcast.bsky.social wordt door een in IJsland wonende Nederlandse schrijfster (naam even vergeten) uitgelegd wat de achtergrond is van de #Jolabokaflod
Al toe aan mijn tweede kop thee en inmiddels een stukje chocola verder ligt kerstpakje no.2 klaar... #jolabokaflod
Today is Jólabókaflóðið, or "Christmas Book Flood" — the Icelandic tradition of gifting books to friends and family, then enjoying an evening of reading with chocolate or hot cocoa.
That sounds like the perfect holiday tradition to me! 📚🍫 #Jolabokaflod #Booksky
Om de spanning op te bouwen heb ik enkel nog de mooie en lieve kaart gelezen van @emmamiriamb.bsky.social en ga ik éérst thee zetten met de cadeauthee vóórdat ik verder ga met uitpakken! #jolabokaflod
En ik weet nu al dat ik het volgend jaar weer wil doen! 💙📚
#jolabokaflod

We zijn allemaal lezers dus dan is #jolabokaflod beste manier om kerstavond te starten!
It’s Jólabókaflóð and it’s fair to say that’s my reading sorted for a little while.

Merry Jolabokaflod! 🎄🇮🇸📚
In Iceland on Christmas Eve, people give each other books, than spend the evening reading with some chocolate in hand.
The tradition of Jolabokaflod (yo-la-bok-a-flot) "Yule Book Flood" began in 1944.
