Archipelaconin toinen päivä meneillään!
Tähän mennessä Ahvenanmaalla on nähty Maarianhaminan lisäksi Kökarin upeat nummet ja pronssikautisten asumusten jäljet.

Teräsjää loppui jälleen kesken myyntipöydältä ja kirjamyyntiä ollut muutenkin mukavasti. Ilahduin erityisesti henkilöstä, joka tuli erikseen Teräsjäätä kysymään sekä Maailman vanhimmasta ammatista kuullusta lukijapalautteesta, joka kuului suunnilleen näin:

“En tiennyt yhtään mitä odottaa, mutta ehdottomasti en kyllä osannut odottaa tällaista.”

Otan tällaiset aina kohteliaisuutena.

Tänään on kiireinen päivä tulossa, kaksi paneelia sekä kirjan julkkarit klo 17.00 alkaen hotelli Arkipelagissa.

Another reading recommendation in case anyone's looking for book suggestions for presents: #Edinburgh based author Fiona Barnett's The Dark Between the Trees is an excellent, atmospheric #horror in the Deep, Dark Woods, split between Civil War era Parliamentary soldiers and modern day, all-woman academics exploring the same forest, review on my blog: https://www.woolamaloo.org.uk/reviews-atmospheric-folk-horror-in-the-dark-between-the-trees/
