No water for the next two weeks, because the water pump in the pump house needs repairing. Now all those water canisters we organised as en emergency reserve come in handy. And they are easily filled up at the lake. 💪😅
To my non-Norwegian friends: you can only grasp what is happening here if you remember that a nation deeply in love with a team sport called football was after 28 years finally attending a World Cup competition again - and made it to the quarter-finals! 1/2
Inzwischen ist auch das Audiobuch zu meinem dritten Norwegenthriller um Wolf Larsen und Sanna Bjørnstad erhältlich. Jean Paul Baeck hat wieder einmal ganze Arbeit geleistet, meine Figuren zum Leben zu erwecken. Auf der Seite von Bastei Lübbe oder bei Audible findet ihr eine Hörprobe.
"Stage one, the eyes turn white. Stage two, loss of the five senses and delirium. Stage three, loss of erection. Stage four..." "Who the hell is trying after stage two?" Those who doubt that horror and comedy can match, watch that hilarious creepfest "Widow's Bay". You can thank me later.
Hund will trotz norwegischem Vorfrühlingswetter Mitte Mai raus raus raus. Katze dagegen... wir verstehen uns.
Hey Amazon, eine Krimireihe ist etwas anderes als eine Anthologie. Aber wollen wir mal nicht pingelig sein, solange es der Sichtbarkeit dient. Und "Bestseller" klingt allemal schön. 😊
As one should do in Norway around Easter, I whipped together an orange cake, and it turned out to be a banger on first try that I'll have to repeat every year from now on. I don't make the rules.
#thepitt "maybe all you lunatics need to learn how to set some boundaries" No shade on Med Student Kwon, giving 100% and clocking out when her shift is over.
I had already been completely absorbed in the audio book, but now I finally also got a signed copy of that pedal to the metal-ride "King Sorrow" by Joe Hill. Time for a second run soon! 😊🐉
Buchhomies! Leider habe ich es heuer nicht nach Leipzig geschafft, aber dafür sind Wolf und Sanna aus "Kalt wie die Nacht" da - schaut gerne mal bei Be.thrilled vorbei (Halle 5, Stand E 205). Inzwischen entsteht unter den wachsamen Augen meines Dæmons wieder Fantastik aus meiner Wahlheimat. 🇳🇴
Threadfund. Happy international woman's day! ANY day is a good day to smash the patriarchy!
Achievement unlocked! Die zweite Auflage von "Kalt wie die Nacht" ist im Handel, diesmal auch mit meinem Nachwort, das ein Dankeschön an mehrere liebe Menschen enthält und in der ersten Auflage der Printausgabe vergessen worden war.
A bit late to the party, but during the last weeks we binged "Ted Lasso", and I loved it to bits. Such a great ensemble, a lot of episodes had more screwball comedy-drama gold than whole movies, the soundtrack was pitch-perfect and to me the ending was almost as iconic as that of "Six Feet Under".
Freshly arrived by mail. 🥰😍 Last summer I had already listened to the audio book of "The End of the World As We Know It", but this whopper of a collection with tales from the universe of Stephen King's "The Stand" I just wanted to have in physical form as well,
Das neue Fantasyprojekt hat momentan Pause. Band 3 meiner aktuellen Krimireihe ist in der Lektoratsphase, und ich feile noch ein letztes Mal an "Einsam wie der Tod". Der zweite Band, "Stumm wie der Schnee", ist bereits als Hörbuch und E-Book erhältlich, 1/2
Leider etwas zu hell für den Meteorschauer, aber trotzdem spektakulär.
The Professor! J.R.R.T., born on 03 January 1892. "And now leave me in peace for a bit! I don't want to answer a string of questions while I am eating. I want to think!" "Good heavens!" said Pippin. "At breakfast?" #tolkienbirthdaytoast #tolkientoast2026 #tolkientoast
