Thank you!!

Really looking forward to getting to July Iceland's Bell by Halldór Laxness (Iceland, 1943). It's been on my reading list for a long time, so hopefully this is the push to get me to actually pick it up!

[Lesle, Appalachain Bibliophile]

Michelle, I have not read anything by Halldór Laxness this might be a great one to start with.

Thank you Luis for the push!

I have not either, but I've had it on my list for a long time. It's longer than my typical reads so I think I needed a push to read it!
