Dette kan du gjĆøre for Ć„ stĆøtte Ukraina: Trykk pĆ„ Ā«republiser-knappenĀ» - slik at flest mulig fĆ„r vite om den politiske markeringen pĆ„ mandag.

For obvious reasons iPhoneā€™s Ā«SiriĀ» was never my thing, but it turns out you can hack her name and gender in accessibilty settings. Consequently, I now have a British butler called Jeeves, who hourly proclaims Iā€™ve done a remarkable job and deserve a break. This can potentially >

The 11th edition of Odinā€™s Child in Norway comes with a sticker, but donā€™t worry, it peels right off! šŸ„°

Better late than never: Even 2024 was a strong contestant in the yearly Bragathon, with a Kirkus Star, a sale to French Canada, Pyrkon, Norconsf, Helsinki, and a potato sack from Lars Mytting, without potatoes. If youā€™re into all that, youā€™ll find all the highlights at siripettersen.com/blog šŸ„°

For a second there I nearly thought it was a bit much, but as we say up north: It aint full ā€˜til it spills. Merry Christmas, dear friends. And Kirkus: Thank you for the starred review, it ended up crowning my tree as promised ā¤ļø

The Kirkus Star is all a writer could want for Christmas, and now itā€™s mine, my precious! ā­ļø Ā«Vast in scope, intricately plotted, and utterly original,Ā» they say about Silver Throat which is launching in the US February 25th. (Out for pre-order now!)

Did not see this coming on a grey morning: Silver Throat is nominated for the Adlibris Prize 2024 in Sweden! šŸ„° This is a readerā€™s choice award, where readers vote for their favorite among ten nominees in different categories. Silver Throat is in YA and voting starts today, just sayingšŸ˜¬

Dere! Anne er her! šŸ„°

Yā€™all I just came across this brilliant podcast on creativity! Ā«A beautiful AnarchyĀ» by photographer David duChemin and Iā€™m binging it now! This is what itā€™s like to NOT know what youā€™re looking for, and then finding it>

Aawww!šŸ„°ā¤ļøšŸ·šŸ·Say hi to Juva & Hirka, the cutest little pigs that keep Nordvika farm busy. They are absolutely adorable, and the owners must be too, since they are clearly building a fantasy farm! Much approvedšŸ™ŒšŸ˜

This slightly unsettling blood readerā€™s pendant was made by Norwegian-SĆ”mi artist Linda Solaas (@paganduodji on Insta) using real hare bone and sea glass. Lagalune and Solde would love it, so creepy and gorgeous! #FanArtFridayšŸ™ŒšŸ–¤

ITā€™S HERE! šŸ‡©šŸ‡ŖšŸ˜šŸ™Œ Your heart knows whatā€™s coming, and today SILBERKEHLE (Silver Throat) is out in Germany! I hope the book turns out to be everything you hope it will be, that it rips you apart and puts you back together, even stronger than before! (Not that itā€™s my goal or anythingā€¦šŸ˜¬)

Iā€™m working on Vardari 3 and actually I donā€™t really need human contact because this is my friend now and I donā€™t care what you think because he loves me for who I am not just for my inflated walnut budget and he never argues with me even if he is a bit jugemental but at least he keeps me sane šŸ˜¬

My dear magic sparks! I am very pleased to say that Iā€™ll be returning to Norsk Litteraturfestival again this year! This time, Iā€™ll be talking with my Princess Catharina Wandrup, winner of The Raven Rings Prize, about her wonderful fantasy Ā«The LumiĆØre SistersĀ» and with the unicorn HĆ„kon Marcus >

Ā«Hirka and KuroĀ» is the name of this beautiful peace of music that appeared in my inbox this week. Composed by Gustaf Holmbergg from Sweden, these captivating whispers from our Nordic past are created on a Ā«nyckelharpaĀ». Gives me goosebumpsšŸ„° www.siripettersen.com/blog/fanart-...

Awww šŸ„°ā¤ļø Look at these adorable sketches! Hirka, Rime and Kuro, all together in the sketchbook of @draconic_knott (on Insta) whoā€™s profile is brimming with gorgeous drawings! Everything from The Beatles to robots, and some amazing puppies! I love them! #FanartFriday
